So Forge's mutant ability is to build/replicate any technological device/weapon/system. I'm surprised he hasn't had the idea of Reverse Engineering Nimrod, with the ability to analyze and adapt to Children of the Vault's powersets. Then he could build a few of them, and have them stand guard around the Vault. I'd love to see a battle between the Children of the Vault and Nimrods.

If his 'body' isn't aware of the threat or whats coming his way, his powers don't manifest. If you were to shoot Darwin with a sniper rifle a mile away, his mutant powers wouldn't manifest. His brains would paint the walls. If he watched you shoot at him with a sniper rifle his body would adapt and he would either manifest intangibility, or his body would manifest armor that would stop/deflect the bullet depending on how cool the writer wants to look. If you dropped a nuke on Krakoa, if darwin didn't see the bomb drop, he would die in the nuclear blast. If he never perceived hulk and he got the back of his head punched, he would die. His powers only were originally supposed to manifest if he was aware of the threat in his general vicinity.

Laura and Dawins story in the Vault sounds a lot like the two people from Invincible who went to another dimension and were trapped there for some time. They took over leadership there, made a life together, grew up into full adults, just to come back finally and speak little of it, if at all, afterward.

One of the best X-Men stories written. It took 2 years to do and it’s still not done.

The other significant thing about this story is that they had already resurrected Laura Kinney. So with the return of the original X-23 they have a paradox. What to do with the resurrected version. She’s not a clone. She’s actually another wolverine. So her existence in the island doesn’t break any of their laws.

The older laura is simply banned from Krakoa. Afaik, in most cases of paradox resurrections the quiet council deals with it often times by simply banning the Mutant from the island. Older laura is simply way too important to kill off because of her time in the vault. And the possibility that her powers have evolved over time, as Mutants historically speaking, given enough time always experience secondary mutations, or evolutions of their current mutations. Means that old woman laura is simply too important from an information standpoint. Afaik Laura's healing factor while she was in the vault got dramatically stronger over time, instead of failing or getting weaker. Think there was some silly secondary mutation that also occurred, but i don't recall it. However, to adhere to the laws of the Island, unofficially she will be exiled and monitored. Officially she might be sent into the hole like Sinister a la sins of sinister, until a time can be "proven where she isn't tainted by her time in the Children of the vault"

@@SuperRONDALE Wolverines healing factor only evolves through long periods of sustained, heavy conflict where the user tends to sustain heavy injuries constantly. This is why logans healing factor went from "days recovering from getting beaten and torn apart" to healing from being disembowled in about a few minutes. If laura/logan didn't have adamatnium their healing factors would have platued in growth, even with extreme external pressures as the Adamantium is constantly forcing the healing factor to work, and thus "maintain" its strength and evolve if being pressured to do so. Without it, its likely it would take pretty extreme measures for it to "evolve"... like spending 250 years in the vault. Where laura's healing factor actually grew considerably stronger to the point where it rival'd logans healing factor pre krakoa due to the sheer amount of constant conflict the trio would be in. However the moment that 'evolutionary pressure' was no longer present, Laura's healing factor dramatically weakened, although a fair argument to be made is that it was "siphoned off" and fed into the evolutionary process of the children of the vault. Back to about what it was before she went into the vault. If not very slightly better.

I'd argue Darwin's current powers are only temporary. He never keeps any of his other modifications once he no longer needs them. He adapts to ANYthing, but not EVERYthing. Big difference. Once an adaptation is no longer actively needed, it's basically dead weight, so keeping it would make him less adapted. If anything, the fact that Darwin has to go that above and beyond just to survive in the Vault shows the amount of power in play there. Effectively, they entered a feedback loop where his powers constantly adapted to try and avoid the forces of the Vault, while they constantly adapted in order to pursue him. That's inevitably going to spiral ever higher and push Darwin beyond Omega Level - BUT it also means that the opposing force exists at a similar order of magnitude...

@ASavageEye

Жыл бұрын

Not really. Darwin's power is to adapt, its an outright ability. The Vaults forces however do not adapt as a matter of ability, they just take what they want and use it to improve. They are just fast learners. The Vault is more like the Borg from Star Trek, incorporating and improving. Now of course the more they improve the better they get at it and because of the time difference they have had a LOT of time to improve. Darwin can do in a second what can take them years to achieve. The ting is with the Vault there is a simple fix and Forge is the answer to it. Its technology at play and Forge can change any technology. In theory Forge could alter the Vault itself and cause it to run time backwards inside, reverting the civilisation inside all the way back to its original state. At that point they could simply blow the damned thing up or just take it apart. Reversing a Temporal Field has been done before in Marvel, many times in fact, so this is not unreasonable. Every problem has an easy fix for Marvel, they just dont want to do it because the threat of the Children is always there and the fans like it.

@@ASavageEye It's by vastly different means, but in order to get a hold of Darwin - whose ability would be hugely benefitial for them to get and exploit - they're actively trying to "adapt" to him in the sense that they're developing technologies for that purpose. Darwin's ability recognizes their efforts as a threat, so the better their means against him get, the more over the top his adaptation becomes. And in turn the Children become more intrigued and put even more effort in, which he again adapts to - spiralling them both higher and higher... However, even with the Vault still around, Darwin would likely lose this immense powers as soon as they safely get him away from there. If it becomes necessary again later, he'll be able to "re-adapt" at that point - but as long as it's no immediate threat to him, there's no point for his ability to keep those adaptations up.

I thought for sure that during the first storyline involving the children of the vault and X-Men that Laura Kenny was killed during the escape and that was why it was never brought up because synk is the only one that remembers anything.

I'd love to see a tier list of Marvel's cosmic hierarchy. Reality warpers, gods and cosmic entities, characters with insane power ups, all ranked. Astral Regulator Thanos, The One Above All, HOTU Thanos, White Phoenix of the Crown, Pre-Retcon Beyonder, the Living Tribunal, God Emperor Doom, Matthew Malloy, Chaos King, Mad Jim Jaspers, the Marquis of Death. Nobody off limits. It'd be cool trying to determine if Franklin Richards could beat Michael Korvac, or who's stronger between Rune King Thor and Chaos War Hercules. A video like that would be pretty long, and would have to cover something like 50 characters or more I'd imagine, so it's a big ask. A lot of them would be characters you've already covered in the Beyond Omega Level series, it would just be a matter of ranking them. That would be insanely awesome and I think if there's a guy on KZread who can do it, it's you.
