Hey all.

Feels like I just did one of these but my cast has doubled in size since then. Peter’s been thrown into the mix already but one got lost in the shuffle so I wanted to take a second to introduce Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops. 616, Post-Schism, True Blue Cyke. The under-appreciated leader of the X-Men. We’ll just say he’s been reclusively dealing with shell shock from everything, staying in his room and playing Chess.

One more thing! My main man has a film coming out and we are so excited. In that spirit, I wanted to address mightythor’s canon point. Currently he’s listed as Post-Endgame, and it has always been my headcanon that at some point after that film Thor lost his blip weight. Now that that’s been all but confirmed by Love and Thunder promotional photography and footage, and with the film being released tonight, I wanted to state my intention to incorporate Thor’s transition “from DadBod to GodBod” as it is depicted on film. He will not be aware of Jane Foster’s acquisition of Mjölnir. This should not require any in-character adjustments, as I’ve refrained from having Thor speak in detail on it and will continue to do to so as to avoid spoiling the film (which I still have yet to see, as of writing this.) Just wanted to acknowledge all of this, as well as open the floor if there are any objections. Thank you!

	I'm so happy to see Scott getting introed. We'll also be working on how to 'update' canon characters in the game a little later, but I appreciate the avoidance of spoilers for now!! :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	i'm always a little iffy on my grasp of the comics, as much as i love them. so in terms of chronology, how does he post-schism cyke line up with x-force era/post-dark angel saga betsy? and i just aw love and thunder last night. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I’m also iffy with comic chronology (which is why I tend to go MCU heavy) but I think Scott and Betsy are pulled from close to the same time. I wanted Scott semi-current without the turn he takes in AvX. I’m ready to talk spoilers when you are! (Reply to this) (Parent)

I meaaaan if you wanna get technical, you said he came from after Endgame and post his depression and that could encompass a lot of things there when you think about it. After seeing the movie earlier today, I say that seeing as it’s a montage and the way it’s depicted in a past-tense manner, it totally counts as a flashback as events that took place before the movie! So, it definitely jives with your headcanon.
