A new New X-Men ongoing starring Victor, Santo, Sooraya, Julian, Cessily, Megan, and Loa that lasts forever and is written by Kyle and Yost with art by Young.

Same for you.

Same, except that the story isn't just about being mutants in society, but learning to deal with their horrible trauma while balancing school (and trying to catch up with all the things they missed) and just ... learning to be teenagers again. It probably wouldn't sell well, but I would read it. It would be really nice for the XBabies to actually get a story that addresses what has happened to them.

Also Dani and McCoy are acting in loco parentis.

Also, one of your headcanons reminded me of a thing. Did you ever read Young X-Men?

Oh, lord no. It's awful barring one or two character moments in the middle issues. Like this one.

Your He isn't sure that the older mutants actually know his given name. On the one hand, he doesn't mind because Julian Keller got disowned whereas Hellion is a mutant in training, but on the other, it's kind of I WAS YOUR STUDENT :| reminded me: in one of the planning session one of the older mutants I think Sunspot was going over the plan and then this happened (paraphrased):

Victor: I have a question.
Sunspot: What is it, Anole?
Victor: ...okay, two questions. One: [something related to the mission]. Two: What's up with the codenames? We're the only ones here. My parents actually gave me a name and I'd like to use it sometimes.

I WAS GOING TO SAY i had heard that Dust gets cancer or something and it's horrible, like worse than NXM horrible.

but haha oh god, I have been wondering when anyone was going to address the whole "they keep referring to them by codenames all the time".

YEAH. Dust got turned into glass by Magma or Sunspot or both of them or something. And then the new guy Ink who isn't actually a mutant but goes to a tattoo artist who is who has the power of giving people magic tattoos gets a tattoo of the Phoenix and uses the Phoenix Force to bring her back to life.

And then we're treated to a flash forward to a dystopian future where there are only five mutants left (Victor, Greymalkin, Ink, Emma, and Logan) and the mutants are being hunted by something that is revealed to be Dust because the Phoenix Force was incomplete in tattoo form and brought her back wrong.

...well then! It's nice to see that Marvel writes good stories full of characterisation.

To point out how awful. Dust's quote here is an actual quote from Young X-Men.

WHY WOULD YOU I WAS HOPING THEY MADE THAT UP.

It's sad because up until that panel it's...okay.

"Yes. Please lecture me on etiquette." still makes me chuckle.
