Talk:Cassandra Nova

message: I thought when she "returned the favor" Emma saved Cassie from the X-Men and, with the Stepfords, put Cassie's mind in Stuff.  Comments?
Part of the "favor" would've been to release Cassandra under the form of Ernst and eventually restore her to her real form. In the Here Comes Tomorrow Timeline, there was no Emma running the Xavier Institute, Ernst/Cassie became good. At least thats what I think. Damn Austen for nor reading New X-Men #154--Gonzalo84 03:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Here's the thing, though: Only Xavier and Jean had been shown to interact with Cassandra once she was contained, and while it was clear that she was Ernst (possibly still in the form of the shape-shifiting Stuff), it was never made clear who knew about the transition. Xavier has been known to keep secrets from the X-Men before, and Jean has been shown to know those secrets when the rest do not. I doubt Emma could have pulled off the Ernst ploy without Xavier knowing. As for the favor, it didn't look at all like the X-Men could have defeated Cassandra and that Emma did what she could because there was no other way. --Chris Griswold 23:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I think Chuck Austen is crap on toast, but I don't understand the need for the the description in the line "however, in New X-Men #156 (written by the much criticized Chuck Austen), Cyclops and Beast...".  I have not read the two storylines in question, and there does not seem to be enough context to explain why it is necessary to explain that he is not well-liked at this particular location; I'm a little confused by the whole section, actually.  Was this a blatant retcon on Austen's part, or something that has been rejected from canon or by fans?    In any case, can we replace this with "controversial Chuck Austen"?  It seems a little NPOV as it is currently written.  --DDG 20:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Controversial" would be fine, I think. The problem was that after Morrison's critically acclaimed run on the series, in which he carefully clears the deck and sets up a new status quo for the characters, as well as seeds for the future, Chris Claremont and Chuck Austen went through and reversed or disregarded as much as they could, even ignoring things that were clearly shown in Morrison's run. This information is not all necessary to this article, but some note of controversy ought to be in the article. See Austen's article for more information. --Chris Griswold 22:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool.  However, can you clarify what the criticism of Austen's portrayal of Cassandra Nova specifically is?  From the article text it sounds like he retconned or ignored something important from Morrison's run, but I can't figure out what it specifically was from the text right now. --DDG 16:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  As far as I could tell from Comic Book Resources forums, it seemed to be that Ernst was supposed to be Cassandra Nova, but Austen ignored that and brought her back as herself. Also, technically speaking, there should have been absolutely NO way to get out of the containment unit... However, fans have tried to explain this as Ernst NOT being Cassandra Nova, and her and Martha's comments being taken slightly out of context, as Cassandra says something like Martha has 'double (?) Alzheimers'", so Martha could be senile, and Cassandra may just be manipulating her... This is original research, of course... 75.210.92.101 00:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: In New X-Men #126 (either that or #125, number hard to tell), "All Hell", Jean Grey says "The Mummudrai COPIED Charles' cells to build its body -- it accessed the full spectrum of latent mutant functions in his genome." The New X-Men Volume with this issue in it is Volume #2: Imperial. 
P.S: How do you cite a comic book? Info would be appreciated. 75.210.92.101 00:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
