some fun I had today while discussing “what if” story on the House of X facebook group (which I encourage you to join btw)
so the topic was :
#WhatIfWednesday … What if Moria McTaggart formed the X-Men
my answer was these two teams. more science-oriented than full super-heroes.
as always, my mind run wilds when it’s a mutant matter (wait till you can see what I cooked for MahMuseComics ‘s pitch week this year)
TEAM ATOM
Moira’s team
FRENZY
Moira has helped her balanced her moods and tantrum and find peace. Frenzy has become a close friend and a devoted bodyguard. a no-nonsense personnality
PSIENTIST
Moira has rescued a pre-Hellfire Club (and pre-surgery…) Emma Frost and has enrolled her in her lab, using her telepathic abilities to calm and understand patients. shy and reclusive, her psy powers are less about communicating and influencing and more about surgically heal minds.
MIMIC
Moira has managed to help him control his powers and he is now a brave wholesome man eager to learn new ways to use the powers he duplicates from others. He is in love with Emma but she does believe his feelings.
SAGE
Moira has recruited her to help her conduct her studies. very focused and aloof.
MULTIPLE MAN
Moira’s one-man army of handymen. Fun and lovable
PROTEUS
During one of their early adventure, MORPH sacrified himself to give his body to Moira’s son : Kevin. Now PROTEUS has a malleable and enduring body that can withstand his reality-warping and body-consuming powers. he would like others to trust and befriend him but he senses they are still afraid of him.
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM
CYPHER
Moved on his own to Muir Island to assist Moira in her researchs. He is learning to read, understand and translate genes alterations.
INFECTIA
Her father was a friend of Moira from university. when she accidentally kills him, Infectia enrolls into Moira’s program, in the hope that one day she will better control her own powers
CHAMBER
He has been rescued by TEAM ATOM right before his powers exploded his face. He is super confident and optimist. He wears a special suit that enables him to control his psionic outbursts
PIXIE
Youngest and most enthusiastic student. Her pixie dust and constant happiness drives everyone crazy
WOLFSBANE
Moira’s adoptive daughter. takes her role of team leader really seriously. She learned the truth about her bigot priest of a father much earlier on and she rebelled against anything religious or authoritarian. She embraces her wolf-wildside nature
ALCHEMY
His powers help Moira in her experiment. He was able to contain Chamber’s powers before they disfigured him by turning the air into adamantium. he is a super good friend of Pixie.
SILHOUETTE
She never got shot and hurt, so she can walk. Her darkforce powers are less in control. She doesn’t really know where she comes from, and she appears a bit lost or mysterious.
