"Mutant history, like mutant thought, doesn’t adhere to normal human limitations. Mutant history isn’t linear. It starts where it always has, but it took until now for mutants to see there’s a pocket of history hiding so far in the past that it was previously thought to have come first." - Steve Orlando

So why can't they just do a check across the multiverse for their Santo? Or do a filter, find him somewhere in the mix?

Date: 2023-04-20 11:56 am (UTC)I forget, is it still Psylocke, not Kwannon?

Date: 2023-04-20 09:51 pm (UTC)Probably. It doesn't make sense for Kwannon to steal Betsy's codename when she surely wants to emphasize that she's not Betsy Braddock anymore, but that's the reason given in-universe.
But really, Marvel wanted to have the relatively well-known ninja Psylocke without the race-lifting element.

Date: 2023-04-20 07:20 pm (UTC)The result is there's nothing to override what we do know about Threshold - that they tried to commit genocide against an already defeated foe. Threshold, a "refutation of death, of genocide and of hate"? Absolutely not.

At least they're not calling Wolverine's biracial son "Mongrel" anymore.
