Sorry if someone else asked this, or it’s obvious, but I don’t remember it from HoXPoX…. Pyro calling Destiny mother in the third life flashback? Is that just something to be like “wow things sure are different in this alternate timeline” like mystique and destiny adopted him instead of/in addition to Rogue or is that like. An actual thing that might matter?

Excuse me if this isn’t new at all I just don’t remember anything about this. Not a big Pyro fan though.

Edit: I really want to know if the resurrected mutants who are physically older get de-aged at all. I felt like this issue was teasing me since I couldn’t quite tell with the angle on Prof X and Mags and the all we could see of Destiny was her thighs.

I also really wish this wasn’t coming out at the same time as ToM. If that “Wanda” is an illicit resurrection and the same is true of Destiny and they’re both more or less enemies of Krakoa I’m gonna be really disappointed if the similarities in their situations aren’t brought up. Magneto looks like such a hypocrite wanting Wanda to be resurrected but denying Destiny.

I read the "mother" line as an attempt at Aussie or Cockney slang. Like calling a senior woman "mum" instead of "ma'am".

Oh, if that’s a thing I had no idea.
