Yeah, it"s just too fucking bad they had to go and fuck up a good and proper ending to the series by retconning it recently.feezy said:

I thought it was something along this lines of "Over the last 50 years we have created about a million mutants. We need to reign it in." Plus it led to what I thought was a great run of New X-men (dealing with the fall out in a X-universe sense) and Endangered Specias/Messiah Complex (dealing with the fall out in the Marvel universe sense, even thought it is contained in the X books).Lyrical said:
Plus it gave us Layla Miller, who was the only reason I read the X-factor books for those few months.
The 1st real beef that Spawn had with Malbolgia(sp?)
Hulk holding up a mountain in Secret Wars.
Lobo fighting Santa Clause.
Thanos beating everyones ass (Time,Eternity, Galactus etc.)
Todd Mcfarlane"s 1st Spider Man comic, just put everyone else to shame at the time.
Robyn getting blown up by Joker.

What"s the background on those comics with Colossus?Dom Devore said:
I was always a DC guy, but haven"t read any books in over a decade.
Colossus essentially killed himself to stop the Legacy virus by infecting himself with the cure to be patient 0 or whatever. Kitty and Peter had been in a relationship for quite a while and she took his death pretty hard. The sequence I posted was one where they were on what seemed to be a basic mission, and she had no inkling that he was brought back by Ord and kept in captivity for years.Burf said:
I"m obviously very far out of my realm, since I have no idea about the Legacy virus or who Ord is. Guess it"s time for Wiki!
It was a mutant specific virus that began to kill mutants across the board. This was quite a few years ago mind you, so yeah, you"re a wee bit behindBurf said:
If you really want to catch up and don"t mind torrents, look around for the chronological x-men torrents.

I know there were millions of mutants, but this was balanced by the fact that only a few hundred had a decent amount of power. I mean, you had mutants that barely had any powers, but looked different. Given these reasons, I just don"t understand why Marvel would erase 30 years of canon. Also, I just didn"t believe that the Scarlet Witch could rewrite reality. In the early days of Avengers, she used to be one of the weakest members. Now she can rewrite reality on a planetary level with just a twitch of her nose? Lame.Angerz said:
House of M was one of my least favorite crossover series (if not the least).
It didn"t really erase much of anything when it came down to it. If you think back to it, the mutant population grew up to close to something like 10 million or so during the period leading up to House of M events. It was getting ridiculously stupid. I mean, there were entire sections of New York dedicated to them, let alone Genosha. It negated the whole "minority fighting for survival" aspect that the X series were all about.Lyrical said:
When M happened barely any of the core mutants were affected, all the X -team characters survived, it was just the huge surplus that disappeared as well as some of the C list mutants that hadn"t appeared in an issue for years.

I see your reasoning, but I don"t like the method. Ten million mutants does sound like alot, but having the Scarlet Witch be the method of change is another. They could have written a better solution, like have the Sentinels go on a rampage or have the Purifiers come up with some master plan to wipe out all mutants.Dom Devore said:
All in all, I am not a big fan of making heroes that have a great track record of heroism into these huge mass-murdering psychoes (like with Hal Jordan). Scarlet Witch has been a good guy forever, yet all of the sudden she starts killing Avengers (in Avengers Disassembled) and erasing ten million mutants? I just don"t buy that as good writing.
It just seems like they could have found a better way to reduce the number of mutants.
