let this radicalize you rather than send you into despair

so glad we're getting back to 3K in the current X-Men run! I was really hoping the psychic attack was Cassandra Nova and when Quentin mentioned the whole "throwing up on your mind" thing I knew it was her!!!

Idk how Quentin even knows about that line but whatever he probably just poked into old Hank's mind at some point back when he was at school-

As always I love how much Jed McKay clearly loves the Morrison New X-Men run. I read it for the first time recently-ish and it always so fun to see the references he makes in this run. And of course it makes me hopefully for whatever he has planned for Quentin!

the girls are either twins or the light-haired one is the oldest. Her name is Lorelei and she is both a lie-detector and also everyone believes everything she says and she can't turn it off.

the purple-haired one is Amira and she is a pre-cog (and post-cog i guess?) with her third eye she sees the whole life story of anyone she looks at, their past and their most likely futures. This also cant be turned off and she cant close that eye and the only one who's future she can't read is herself.

I've also experimented with more kids for them but these two have stuck the most. theres one other who would be a younger sister who draws more from Idie's powers and is kinda dragon-like and has fire breath but I haven't really come up with a design I liked for her yet.

I just like the idea of these mutant powers that are inherently kinda unethical, an idea that was brought up in Hellions, and I feel like any children of Idie and Quentin would have those kinda powers idk I think theyre be a little at odds with society naturally.

At first my only idea was Lorelei and she went through a ton of different power ideas but this is what I settled on and them Amira popped up and I liked her too. I imagine the world only gets worse for mutants but theyre all doing their best as a family, probably a part of some underground resistance movement that isn't afraid to get its hands dirty.
