BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG Spoilery rumours

[Sypes]

ohhhhh where would that leave AF? more fractured? I'll keep an open mind

[Le Messor]

That... that totally doesn't make sense. Surely Quicksilver would know by now?

Yeah that doesn't make much sense, but could be altered due to the incursions and it's now poisonous.

If if that's the case AF actually won't be too fractured. Most people it would affect aren't currently on the team (sans aurora)

[Phil]

It could all be wrong.
Even Rich would admit he doesn't get it 100%.

[Le Messor]

I just read on CBR about the top 5 bad things Quicksilver has done, and it only enforces my original point.

You're right, Phil - maybe Rich has been misinformed.
Or maybe a major Marvel crossover is based on scanty research? (I'm sorry, but it wouldn't be the first time. Remember Dr Strange, who has apparently used chaos magic, saying there's no such thing as chaos magic?)

Looks to be true afterall

That's from back in March and is where the rumour comes from.
The world part might not be literal.

[-K-M-]

Doh! I didn't look at the date. Whoops

So I am now, more convinced than ever, (especially with "Extraordinary X-Men") that my thought process (almost a year ago to the day!) is still correct.
Marvel is going to be doing away with Mutants and probably making them "Inhumans" or an off shoot of Inhumans.

I posted about this idea when I learned what the core concept of Extraordinary X-Men was about:

If so, I hope it backfires on them. Trying to force popularity is something that shouldn't work, in my book.

If that were the case then every mutant would have gone.
It's more akin to after House Of M when they decimated the mutant population.

Well what I mean, they're going to say the "mutant" gene is due to the Inhuman genes within humans. So they will do away with the terminology of calling them "Mutants" and just call them "Inhumans."

[Phil]

Surely that would have to effect every single mutant though? The gene wouldn't be able to pick and choose which mutants are and aren't Inhuman?

Well, my thinking is "mutants" are an offshoot of the Inhumans. Like they have a "tainted" version of the Inhuman gene. Sort of like pure-breds and what not. You can have a pure breed horse (read pure blood Inhuman), and have that horse breed with a donkey (read human) and come out with a mule (read mutant). It has the horse's gene (Inhuman), but isn't a pure Inhuman.

This way, Marvel can say, "The Marvel Universe doesn't have mutants. They're an off shoot of Inhumans. Screw you FOX Studios!"
