A very bad idea

Ohhh! This is such a good thing, let’s hope that it might revive interest and, maybe, open the way for the reboot being revived. 

Still here I am going to say: we Italians beat you to that! XD

It is the old anime, I know, but I really like our dub!

Thank you so much for the question Anon. I love ranting speculatively about this kind of questions!

I do think there are several reasons why Yoshihara-sensei chose the name “Iason”, still I’m pretty sure that they have little to do with literal, physical healing. Iason is definitely more apt at, and keen on, breaking people rather than healing them.  It should also be noted that the name Ιάσων, if derived from the verb ἰάομαι, could also mean (figuratively): to remedy, repair, make whole (or redeem if we take into account Biblical usage). Which is, in my opinion, much more significant to the role Iason ends up playing in the novels.There also is another meaning of ἰάομαι that is: strong, powerful. Thus Iason could be named so because he is objectively very powerful, but this is a very immediate interpretation, that leaves very little room for speculation.  

Truth to be told the mythical Ιάσων (whom I will refer to as Jason for clarity) has not much to do with the medical act of healing either, his main “healing power” is about bringing the golden fleece back to Greece and thus grant a proper “burial” to Phrixus and break the curse plaguing Pelias and the city of Iolcus rather than any medical healing. Of course: the golden fleece has incredible healing abilities, but in my opinion, that is not the crux of the myth. The myth is about a purification rite, thus Jason can be perceived as a shaman of sorts leading the rite and, in that optic, his figure was used as a symbol by alchemists, but I will say more about that later in this rant. 

God-like powers: check

Unbalanced and hates humans: check

Wants to destroy humanity (in a way, by depriving them of human characteristics and human social structures): check

Sneaky: check

Alec would make a great Gambit (I do not know an empath in the X-men that could be like him).

Iason…. eh… THat is hard. He would probably be a good Magneto, even though Xavier’s powers would be much more suited for him. He could be Xavier and Magneto’s “cybernetic child” XD

Katze and Rogue share interesting traits.
