House of M (Marvel Comics Answer to Infinite Crissis)
PostedFri Nov 04, 2005 8:09 pm
Well I droped this a few months ago bacause I was sick of now things where being handled at Marvel and started to collect the ramp up to Infinite Crissis at DC but a friend told me a few things that happened in the last issue and I had to pick it up.
One of my previous problems with Marvel was the ecessive use of mutants. It got to the point that there where mutant night clubs and mutant fasion lines. Looking at any none X related books you'd never know this. I used the term previous because after the House of M story arch this problem no longer exsists.
Spoiler Alert
Marvel a year ago finally desided on what the Scarlet Witch's mutant power was. For those that dont know SW is Magneto's dauhter. They first just called it hexing, the ability to alter probability allowing her to use "magic" then they said she used chaos magic. Durring Avengers Disasembled they finally desided to say that her mutant powers allowed her to controll raw magic witch has been slowly truning her insane. She ended up killing a few Avengers like Thor, Vision, and Hawkeye. At the end of it all Magneto and Xaivier took her under their wing to try to help her but they lost controll and she remade the world (begining of House of M). She wanted a normal life with her family so she gave every one what they wanted leaving Magneto ruller of the world. At the end she realized this wasn't working and figured that it was because of mutants so she errased the gene.
Thats right she errased the mutant gene. It did effect every one but nearly every mutant no longer has the gene and there for has no powers. Characters that were effected that any one would care about was Iceman, Quicksilver, Professor X, and Magneto. Also for some reason Wolverine's mental block on his past was lifted and now he remebers his entire life. This is some pretty cool shit. Some think that this means that there will be no more mutants so no more cop outs when creating new characters. I hope this is true. I also hope that they wont change this back. It would be a little hard to have SW reverse it herself because she included herself in the list of mutants who lost her powers.
