I think that there are many more dangling plot-holes.  Some may consider some
of these to be minor, but they are credible threads for future storylines in
any x-book.

1.  What happened to Lois London (Dazzler's sister).  No one has answered
this.  Her last appearance was in Daz's own late comic.  She was last seen
running down a dark alley after her mutant power (similar to Masque's own)
manifested.  No she did not become Masque since both characters were in
existence at the same time.

2.  What has made Mystique go nuts and why did Forge abruptly leave with her.
I do not buy that it was because of his falling out with Storm.  Infact I
think we will all find out eventually that Mystique is possessed by the mind
of Emma Frost (White Queen) who manipulated both Forge and Storm (theory).

3.  Whatever happened to the Gladiators and Kate's Heartbreak Hotel from the
Beauty & the Beast mini series back in the early 80's.  Why does little Lucy
contend that she was rejected by Professor X's school for having a lame power?

4.  What happened to the WARPies when Muir Island was destroyed during last
year's X-over?

5.  What happened to the Cherubim, a small band of mutants(?) that were
incarcerated by the W.H.O. in the Braddock Manor during Cpatain Britian's own
comic book (recounted in the recent paperback reprinting of those classic
tales).

6.  Whatever happened to X'an Coy Mann's siblings who were supposedly
kidnapped by her own evil Uncle.  This storyline is yet to play out.

7.  What has happened to Bora, a Russian mutant who can, like Storm, controll
weather.  She first appeared in an issue of Moon Knight where he and the X-men
chased her down.  She got away, and I think she reappeared in an issue of
Spiderman(?) and she and a companion were trapped in a painting?  I'm not real
sure about this.

8.  Why don't Tommy & Gailyn remember Jean Grey to be their aunt?  Nanny did
something to the children, but this was never sufficiently explained.  They
did, however, remember their grandparents.  For some strange reason these
children have had name changes (originally they were Joey & Galen), but then
didn't Legion's name change from David Charles to Danny (per Banshee in the
Shadow King saga).

9.  What ever happened to the little girl from the graphic novel that sported
superheroines only.  This girl had the power to "wish" anything into
existence.  I remember her name was Holly Amber, and She-Hulk and others
cautioned her about using her powers wisely.  I think someone should check in
on her sometime.  Left to the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants or any of the other
nefarious mutant groups she's a real prize.

10.  In the Serpent Crown storyline a band of mutant submariner teenagers were
introduced called S.U.R.F.  Namorita was supposedly a member.  What has become
of them?  This is probably one for the New Warriors to follow up on, but since
more than half of the NWs *are* mutants, I'd say dicussions about them are
rightfully placed in this NG (Namorita, Firestar, Marvel Boy and Silohette).

11.  I forget wether it was Dazzler's book or an early issue of X-Factor, but
a young seaman named Pvt. Zalme was introduced.  His power was out of control
and he turned into a big red dinosaur.  There has been no follow up to this
story to the best of my knowledge.  He is *not* Devil Dinosaur.  He was on the
lam from the Navy, however.

12.  Whatever happened to Magneto's first daughter?  Magda or Anna (I forget
what she was called). He mentioned her only once back when Peitro and Wanda
were discovering their pasts.  It was speculated that Lorna Dane was Magneto's
daughter based on her powers, but this was suppoedly not true later.  Which
brings me to:

13.  Who are Lorna Dane's parents?  Havok and she were supposedly going to
search for her roots at one time, but this plot just fell by the wayside.
Lately it has been revealed (supposedly) that Zaladane (or rather Zala Dane)
is her *sister*.  So maybe her roots are linked to the Savage Land?

14.  Someone else mentioned this too.  Whatever happened to Magik's sword
which was last seen stuck in the ground outside Excalibur's Lighthouse after
the Inferno saga ended.

I have actual refernces to most of these plots which are at home at this time.
So if anyone doesn't know where or what has become of these threads I would
be happy to post the refs. (for the ones I know) for anyone interested.
