In which Alan Davis is Team Cyclops; everyone gets depowered; it’s hard to connect with kids your age when you’re a superhero; Sinister’s gotta sinister; everyone gets repowered; and the ‘90s were much more eclectic than they get credit for being.

I swear Ororo’s eyes are different in each of these visual companion images. Have the white or blue eyes ever been confirmed as part of her mutation? One of the image gives her golden snake eyes, which was distracting enough that I didn’t even notice Wolverine’s claws through the baseball at first.
Her eyes are always blue (and sometimes with cat-slit pupils, though moreso in the early years of the title). That’s part of her family lineage rather than her mutation. She belongs to a family of blue eyed African sorceresses going back centuries.
Like many, but but no means all, mutants (often energy manipulating ones), her eyes glow white when when her powers are active, that IS part of her mutation.
I was incredibly surprised you didn’t make a Rocky Horror joke about the name Brad.

I feel a depowered Mystique would be a highly desirable asset for any of the multitude of government and non-government blackops teams. Her mutant power is to change her shape, but the spycraft, the creation of false IDs and fake lives to inhabit, her fighting skills are all her own. Give her an image inducer and she is good to go.
Is poverty not a significant element in who is a Morlock?
