Aren't they twins though? Their mom banged two dudes in one night and got pregnant twice? I like it.

It would be three dudes, then. Maybe Magneto is shooting blanks?

No, I just said it for the laffs. Yes, I've read them and I've never liked the concept, the characters or way they've been used. I mean, Black Bolt is basically the ultimate jobber in the 616. When somebody has to show they're really badass, they do bad things to Blackagar Boltogon (lol).

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I can take the stupid "MAGNETO NOT YOUR FATHER" retcon for the sake of distancing from X-Men, I won't take the "not even mutants!" retcon because thats going against 50 years of story that says otherwise from stuff like Cerebro to straight up fucking medical testings.
Also, weekly reminder AXIS is a low point for comics stupidity over the past few years and its just a gigantic toilet at this point for shit to collect in.
You got good taste son with Scarlet Spider. Give Superior Foes of Spider-Man a read.

Oh man. Silver Surfer cant even job well enough to retain the jobbing title. What does he have left, WW?

A better recent series than the entire collective works of Clan Medusa and her killer ponytail?
Oh yeah

The foundation of your tower is made of shit and straw dude.
As a comic fan this is mildly irritating, but this is finally going to shut one of my mates up. He has been banging on about Scarlet witch and Quicksilver not being the true versions of the characters in Age of Ultron because of the Magneto connection and that they would be rubbish in the film. Can't wait to see his face when I tell him this.

He'll probably be more upset now, because this is Marvel trying to force the comics to match the films, for better or worse.

DC had a very successful reboot in the late 80s and a blah one in the 2010s.
I'm one that really thinks the comics should be rebooted. They're getting harder and harder for newbies to pick up (though I will say that with the internet it's easier to look that information back up) and they're really getting away from their original, usually brilliant identities.

He most definitely will but being the ultra pedantic person he is he'll have to begrudgingly accept it.

Heh. I wonder if people think all mutants are gonna be hit with the terrigen mists to get marvel out of The fox contract?
Crisis
Zero Hour
Hypertime
Infinitie Crisis (in which they were reconning the reboot as it was rebooting with Mister Mind)
Flashpoint.
We can't Cuban B that man.

Well in fairness Crisis and Flashpoint/52 seem to be the only really big retcons/reboots. The others were smaller. Like edits more than reboots.

Not really, Quicksilver and Scrarlet Witch barely had anything to do with the stuggle. They always seemed above it. One might even call them New Mutants.

No, Rich Johnston is just full of shit here and posting his own speculation as fact.
Marvel did release the "No More Mutants" teaser image at NYCC, which could be interpreted that way, but they most certainly did not and have not "announced" any such thing. At least, not yet...

Man, I've been trying to get into the larger universe of Marvel, rather than just Iron Man. Marvel Heroes has me yearning for more. However reading about all of this makes me just not want to bother.
Getting into comics is more of a headache than it should be.

Problem is that you're trying to follow the characters.
Follow the writers.

Just call them "mutates" and be done with it.
Instead for a mutation in the X-gene, it's a mutation in the the "RPC-17"-gene.
Mutates cannot procreate with mutants.

Wouldn't someone have noticed they weren't mutants in Age of Apocalypse? I know Wanda bites it early on, but Pietro is one of the main members of the XMen in that timeline. They have to be mutants.

Why? This way they can bring attention to the Inhumans and start pushing it over mutants. They cant have mutants back, so it's a win/win for them

That last part would prove problematic.
No it isnt. Dont pay attention to any of this shit, and read on.

He still uses Venom Blast to win every fight (to ridiculous extents as of his latest one) and his support cast is just Ultimate Peter Parker's along with Lego-nerd and Miles's underutilized girlfriend. Plus, the writing has only gotten worse.
Yep. Marvel salty as fuck.
But then again: This is why I don't (mostly) pay attention to character background stories and the meta-plot. There's way too much bullshit and retcon-a-retcon's-retcon'ing for my taste.
Even if that's the case, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were already in Days of Future Past. Surely Fox can continue to use the characters, just rename/tweak their stuff.
Much easier to follow creators or ask for past stories that turned out good and read them divorced from the ongoing meta plot in my experience.

Just in time for the movie.
Boobs are in flux.
Continuity is malleable. If Marvel ever gets back mutants, they will proabably do another retcon.
1.Marvel's well within their rights to do with their properties that which is most advantageous to them and not to their competitors.
2.Bryan Singer said the little girl in DOFP was not Wanda.

not sure where you're getting the "they aren't mutants" bit from. All Axis #7 says is that they aren't magneto's kids.
which isn't even that big of a deal, considering how long they went back and forth on whether or not Lorna Dane was Magneto's kid or not.
edit: in fact, retconning both of them into inhumans doesn't even work, for many, many reasons. Inhumans have to be exposed to terrigen mists to gain powers, and neither one of them did. Both have been confirmed as carrying X-genes multiple times. Quicksilver actually *has a child* with an inhuman, and this caused all sorts of problems when said child turned out to be neither mutant, nor inhuman, but baseline human in "blood ties." "No more mutants" depowered quicksilver right along with 99% of the mutant population, and didn't touch inhumans.
