Ms Marvel Gets A Retcon To Have Been In X-Men As Long As Wolverine?
Will Ms Marvel gets a retcon on Free Comic Book Day to have been in X-Men as long as Wolverine has? Or will it be Deadpool again?
Article Summary
- Ms Marvel might get a surprising retcon, becoming a long-standing X-Men member alongside Wolverine.
- Marvel's Free Comic Book Day teases a mysterious new mutant, sparking speculation and excitement.
- Timeslide #1 hints at a timeline where Kamala Khan joins the X-Men during the Dark Phoenix saga.
- Is Ms Marvel: Second Genesis the key to rewriting Marvel history? The clues suggest intriguing possibilities.
For Free Comic Book Day, Marvel Comics is publishing a Fantastic Four/Giant-Size X-Men #1, describing it thus; "on the eve of the birth of the All-New, All-Different X-Men, there is one extra mutant in attendance. WHO is it? Only Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing can tell you!"
The recent Timeslide #1 by Steve Foxe and Ivan Fiorelli showed us a new timeline in which Kamala Khan, Ms Marvel, joined the X-Men much earlier in the timeline, in the Chris Claremont/John Byrne days fighting the Dark Phoenix. Dismissed as one of the many timeline oddities in that comic, could it be something more? Timeslide #1 also teases a project, Ms Marvel: Second Genesis. could this, somehow, be that? Second Genesis was the title of Giant-Size X-Men #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, published in 1974, which had Cyclops, Jean Grey, Banshee, and Professor X joined by newcomers Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Sunfire and Thunderbird.
Will Marvel history be rewritten to include Ms Marvel as part of the Dark Phoenix Saga of the X-Men? Might other stories get a similar treatment? Unless, of course, it's Deadpool. They already did that with Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars, though…
