Talk To Glowfic Characters

[alicornucopia]

So we've started answering comments in "How To Read Effulgence" in character, and that's not really the ideal platform for those conversations. This is! You may address characters here and we may opt to answer in character. You will get a kind of loosely "backstage" out-of-continuity version of the character (in continuity proper, you cannot talk to them, since you aren't there) and if you want them at a specific (past relative to where we're writing) point in time, feel free to specify (e.g. "Addy in 1932", "Shell in her box", "the Joker while committed", "Minus right after he woke up from turning", "the alethiometer on the subject of 1207").

Any glowfic author may use this thread to receive questions.

Questions for Howlett

[maggie_of_the_owls]

Peace is described as an X-Men and Ender's Game combination, and you seem entirely consistent with a hypothetical years-later version of a Wolverine from at least one X-Men canon. So my questions are:
1) Did versions of the other X-Men and (presumably) metacausally linked persons used to exist? Now that your world is linked to Downside, is there a Professor X and a Magneto and Phoenix and Cyclops and what have you in the catacombs?
2) If so, what happened in the meanwhile? It certainly sounds as if mutations in Peace are less strong, or at least less dramatic, than that. Otherwise I imagine the buggers would have been much less of a problem.

Howlett declines to answer your questions because he's grumpy and doesn't want to talk about his dead friends. Some form of the X-Men did exist, but they may have had a different exact lineup and/or different/nerfed powers.

Ah. Yes, that's fair. Apologies.
Merryweather! You have no emotional connection to the topic and seem like the kind of person who would know history. Any idea how nerfed they were?
