Because people on the CBR thread decided to bog the past month down in their millionth iteration of the "what could Lorna wear and who could she fuck" conversation, I never did really get a chance to say much about my thoughts and hopes with Fall of the House of X and Lorna's upcoming moment in it. I'll go into it under the cut, but here's the cover image and synopsis again for those who never saw it or want a refresher.
Tumblr media
"In FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X #2, the X-Men may be at their lowest spot, and they may be on the brink of complete eradication… but they are not going down without a fight! Polaris returns to guide the X-Men home, bringing a wicked surprise for Orchis! This epic tale split in two continues as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!"
So you're looking at more of the post! Greetings, nerds.
Tumblr media
While we don't know yet how things will play out, I have a generally good impression of where things will go despite Marvel burning me over the past decade.
Duggan's the best writer 616 Lorna's had in that same period. That doesn't mean that he's tapped into her true potential yet (something I hope this story will do). But he's thus far written her as a smart woman with a royal flair and sass, while restoring her relationship with Jean, letting her use her powers in meaningful ways, and NOT bringing up Havok. His work with her on Devil's Reign was also excellent, in my opinion. He allowed Lorna to have a point of view in the discourse that differentiated from Jean and Emma while letting her play a meaningful role in the actual story.
Based on that, I'm willing to give this a chance in spite of Marvel burning me so many times before.
Now, I didn't even know about Knowhere (the giant floating head there) until this cover came out. That's honestly the sort of thing I love - when something good happening with Lorna introduces me to a new element of the Marvel universe. But it also means I don't have much knowledge about it to work from.
So before I try to talk about that, I wanna talk about the scenario.
What I love the most of everything about this is how delightfully unexpected it was. I can tell you nobody expected that Lorna would have a huge spotlight moment like this. I mean this within the fictional universe too, not just with us real people.
See, what has to be understood is that Lorna has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG history of being misused and underappreciated. The Claremont era wrecked her, and the damage didn't truly start to get fixed in an impactful way until Genosha. Both in and out of universe, perception of Lorna had devolved into "weak pathetic girlfriend of Havok who gets used as a punching bag when she's not supporting her man."
The negative depictions have held her back for a long time. Nostalgia is insidious. It makes bad stuff seem good just because it ties to old good feelings. Someone who likes a certain status quo for the whole will justify treating one character poorly under the guise of being true to their nostalgia.
As a result, what we get down to is a lot of people underestimating Lorna. In the fictional universe and in the real world, Lorna is often perceived as a nobody who can't do something big and important, who can't be a serious threat, that other characters are "better" and "more worthy" than her.
And that's what makes this such a great use for her.
In the synopsis above, wicked surprise is the operative two words. Orchis has surely prepared contingencies for dealing with the well known heavy hitter mutants, as well as the well known collective teams. What they likely did not account for is what Lorna could do to them.
This is where I have to point out something very important: a lot of people who don't really respect Polaris denigrate her as being "Magneto with boobs." They think she's just a female knockoff of her father, that her capabilities are entirely limited to the same ones as Magneto. If Orchis in the fictional universe thinks the same way, they would have a contingency for Magneto and think that applies just as well to dealing with Lorna.
Except Lorna's not her dad. She's also not a goody two shoes version of him, which could make someone think she's even more limited in her capabilities than her father. If real thought and care is put into who Lorna is, she can have a much different perspective and approach to power use and overall strategy.
Orchis accounting for Magneto doesn't mean Lorna would be ineffective. If anything, it means Lorna could be an even bigger threat if she uses their assumptions against them.
Now back to Knowhere.
The picture implies Lorna's pulling Knowhere to Earth to take on Orchis. This is very reminiscent of when she flung Krakoa into space way back in Giant-Size X-Men, which is an awesome parallel to make while actually moving Lorna forward.
Tumblr media
Throughout the current Krakoa "era," it frustrated me how Lorna's own connection to the history of Krakoa was treated like it had no worth. She had this huge moment in what a lot of fans consider the most important single issue of the X-Men comics, and yet she was getting ignored because decades of poor treatment caused people at Marvel to have a low opinion of her.
The parallel seen here is an excellent way to pull her in for the finale as they wrap up the Krakoa "era." From flinging a planet off of Earth, to bringing this giant Celestial head TO Earth.
As for Knowhere itself, after doing some rudimentary online searching, I think my understanding here is that the head can act as a sort of waypoint for characters from various dimensions and time periods to come through. From there, if I'm still thinking right, Lorna bringing Knowhere to Earth could result in mutants from all over arriving to help. Not just bringing back the various X-Men lost all over space, but bringing in mutants from other fictions (cartoons, movies, video games, etc) and across time periods. The latter probably pairs with the other book coinciding with this one.
I'm gonna stop here cause I've typed a lot. But I do want to say that it's important to avoid hype for a good thing leading to overinflated expectations. Getting your expectations too high can make a good thing seem too lacking when hindsight and looking at it without the hype in mind would show it to be better than first thought.
And that's all for now. Thanks for reading my TED talk!

What is and what could never be
Summary: Peter explores this new world, and find that it surpasses everything he ever dreamed about.
Previous parts: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, 
Tumblr media
Chapter 3: New life
What awaited him once he reached the kitchen truly was a sight to behold. His sisters were both sitting in their usual spots, eagerly waiting for the food to arrive while his mom was quietly humming to herself as she poured the final batter into the pan. Peter quietly sat at the table, observing the piles of food that were already there. There were sausages, eggs, toast, and a growing pile of pancakes.
He hadn’t had a celebration this big since Wanda had died, so it wasn’t really his fault that his mouth moved quicker than he could stop it. “What’s the occasion?”
Lorna let out a giggle as his mom frowned at him. “What do you mean? It’s your birthday, of course.”
Magda put down the final plate of pancakes on the table and wiped her hands on a clean towel. “Now we just have to wait for your father. He should have been here fifteen minutes ago.”
His father? That might get confusing, his mom had had a few boyfriends over the years, some great and some... not so great. But he’d never really considered them as his father. A thought crossed Peter’s mind, one that would be ridiculous in any other place. But here, where his twin was alive, where they still used their birth names, where his younger sister still visited and his mom was happy, it might just be real.
“I’m home!” Came a voice as the door opened. Peter watched in astonishment as Erik kissed his mother on the cheek and handed her a grocery bag. “Sorry for the delay, I couldn’t begin to tell you how much traffic there was.”
“That’s fine,” she assured him as she stored the bag in the fridge. “Now, has everyone washed their hands?”
“I didn’t,” Peter quickly answered. “I’ll go.”
He sped to the bathroom and stared at his reflection again. Nothing made sense, Erik hadn’t stayed, hell, he wasn’t even aware that he had a son. Peter observed his arms and his face more closely. Sure enough, the scars from Jean’s attack were gone. But what did it mean? Was this a parallel universe? One where his father had never left and where Wanda hadn’t been plunged into an endless void of depression and panic until her powers had consumed her? How did he get there in the first place?
The speedster gripped the sink tightly as confusion settled in him. It’s not that he didn’t want it, but it was too much. He'd been living with his grief for nearly ten years now and he didn’t know what to do without it.
A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts. “Pie? Are you okay?”
It took a moment to register how Wanda knew something was wrong, but Peter smiled when he understood. Their connection was back. That sweet, comforting link he shared with his twin had mended itself. He could feel her worry, and she had probably sensed his anxiety.
He opened the door to see Wanda observing him, trying to see exactly what was wrong with him. Her long brown hair had a bit of static in it, a classic with her mess of hair. Her brown eyes, just a shade lighter than his, were scanning his face just like he was doing. This Wanda looked like his sister, she acted like her too, but he had to make sure. He couldn’t take another heartbreak.
“Do you remember...” he started, trying to find a suitable memory. Peter smiled when he found one. “When we decided that we would catch the stars to give them to mom?”
Wanda gave him a soft smile, a fond look in her eyes. “And then we realized that it was too far for us to reach and decided to catch fireflies instead? Of course, I do.”
The fact that this memory was still intact in whatever this place was made Peter’s chest flutter in joy. His sudden happiness seemed to reassure his twin, who extended a hand and led him back to the table.
Erik watched as they sat down. “Is everything alright?”
A squeeze of his sister’s hand let him know that she would answer the question. “Of course. Just twin stuff.”
The answer was vague at best, but Erik gave them a nod and Magda gave the go ahead to start eating. He cleared his plate twice and was on his way to get a third one before anyone had finished their first. For the sake of everyone else, Peter ate that plate slowly.
Erik took a sip of his coffee before smiling at them. “We’re so glad you were all able to come for the weekend, it’s not every day your twins turn 30.”
So, that meant that he had moved out, he probably had a job and a whole life he couldn’t remember at the moment.
“How are the kids?” Asked his mom.
Peter practically choked on his eggs because his mom had just asked him about his children. Him specifically. Did he have kids here? He hoped not. There was no way he could be a dad.
Probably picking up on his confusion, Erik raised an eyebrow at him. “I hope the school isn’t giving you too much trouble, I know they were reluctant to hire a mutant at first.”
Okay, so he was still a teacher. Albeit not at Charles’s school. That was fine, he could work with that. “Oh, you know, the usual. But can we not focus on that? It is the weekend after all.”
His dad chuckled at his demand. “Of course, I wouldn’t want to talk about my job in my off time as well.”
The discussion continued; Lorna told them about a boy she had met in one of her classes. This Marcos was apparently always there when she found herself in trouble. Peter shared a side glance with Wanda to confirm his thoughts, she nodded back with a grin. Then the conversation shifted to what his parents had been up to in the last few months since they had last seen each other.
Erik apparently still worked at a metal factory and his mom had, by some miracle, been able to switch her shifts with another nurse so she could stay the whole weekend without being called in. As she recalled the many patients she had assisted and told them the funny bits, Peter couldn’t help the fluttering feeling in his chest. Magda Maximoff was many things, but carefree wasn’t one of them. Not after the death of one of her children. Back home, his mom worked countless hours as a waitress, preferring to bury herself in work than face her grief. But here, she laughed freely, accompanied by Erik who sometimes completed her stories. His father’s eyes were wrinkled in joy, not grief, and there was a glint in his eyes that he’d never seen before.
This... universe, whatever this place was, had been much kinder to his family.
As soon as the meal was finished, they dismissed both him and Wanda downstairs so they could get everything ready for the night festivities. He played some arcade games, winning at first, but started losing the moment his sister became bored.
“Looks like you’re losing your touch,” she teased.
He turned around with a playful grin on his face. “Of course not, we both know the probabilities of it being me are tiny.”
Wanda pulled her tongue at him and motioned him to sit next to her. She then pointed to a picture on his desk. “I can’t believe you still have that photo; we both look horrible in it.”
While that was technically true, he didn’t really care, it was one of his favorite pictures of them. They were no more than ten years old; their clothes were a mess, and their faces weren’t much better. Their eyes and smiles were immensely wide due to the sugar rush from the Halloween candies they had just eaten. He could see his mom in the reflection of the hallway’s mirror, and funnily enough, Erik was at her side. That meant that his father had been in their life for a long time, forever perhaps?
“Wands?” She hummed in response. “I’m about to ask a really weird question, and I just need you to answer without judgment. Can you do that?”
His twin seemed unsure but nonetheless nodded. “Of course.”
Peter breathed in, trying to figure out how to form his question without sounding crazy. “Has Erik always been with us?”
She frowned with a half-smile on her lips, uncertain if he was joking. “What do you mean?”
“He’s always lived with us? Didn’t go on like a revenge spree or whatever?”
Wanda let out a worried giggle. “Yes, he’s always been here, he’s our father, where else would he be?”
Peter snorted at the irony. “You’d be surprised.”
So, Erik hadn’t hunted down Nazis, he’d stayed here to raise them. That meant that he didn’t have to spring in on the man and break the news. He tallied up his wins: his dad had always been there, his mom was happy, Wanda was alive, and Lorna still loved her family.
Yeah, he could definitely get used to that.
