    Similar vibes to Storm (the incredibly powerful mutant with fully hideable powers who is worshipped as a goddess by some cultures) saying ‘we don’t need a cure, we’re perfect as we are’ to Rogue (the mutant who kills everyone she touches).

    Okay, Beast and Nightcrawler I know, but is that flamehead aka Cage? Not a mutant if so. And who are the other oddities?

    100% Indigenous Canadian me listening to my light skinned city Indian cousin with 1/8 blood ancestry.

    For the record, I am a 100% Ojibway from all sides from my family (there might be one European in there somewhere about four generations ago), I grew up a traditional lifestyle and my first language is Ojibway which I still speak (but I have no one left to talk to in my area). I am a big brown long haired Indian that you can’t mistake for someone obviously being different … and seldom seen as an actual Native person … I’m often told that I’m Filipino, Chinese, Japanese or my favourite an overweight Thai.

    You have no idea how close to home this comic is to me.

    I never got that about Cyclops. If his laser is red, and his glasses are red, wouldn’t that just let the light through? Wouldn’t he need green glasses?

      Nah mate, the red lenses are reflecting red light, which is why they appear red. If they absorbed red light they would be absorbing incredible amounts of energy every second and heat up super fast. Because they reflect the energy the energy just goes back through the portals to the dimension that it came from. (Canonically.)

        Editor: Why did you make his eyes red?
        Artist: Coz of the lazers, duh
        Editor: No, I mean why scientifically?!
        Artist: (oh shit oh shit)
        Editor: WE NEED TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER
        Editor: CALL NASA, SPARE NO EXPENSE!
        (ten convoluted phone calls later)
        Artist: … and so the force beam reflects forcelessly off the glasses and back into its home dimension where his optic nerve lives…

        Neat! That’s actually cool that it gets explained! I feel much better about that now and can finally sleep after all these years. Thank you.
