House of X and Powers of X architect Johnathan Hickman answered reader questions for AiPT!'s X-Men Monday. The Q&A is filled with great informmation and I recommend you read the entire interview as it provides a great deal of information regarding House of X Powers of X and the future of X-Men.
A solo Moira McTaggert/Moira X title will be launched as part of Jonathan Hickman's expansive X-Men plans. The X-Men showrunner revealed it during a fan Q&A session on Adventures In Poor Taste, in response to questions about unresolved aspects of Moira X's timeline as first introduced in House of X #2.
"So, yes, there was going to be a 1000-year timeline in the back of Powers of X #6 explaining all the cool things that happened in that life," Hickman said. "The reason why this changed in production is because there was a writer we had hoped to get to do our eventual Moira book (that works as a kind of ‘dancing between the raindrops’ of X-Continuity story), and they agreed to do it long before we were expecting them to commit. Which was great news.
"Then I basically told them what I was planning to do and asked if they wanted me to not put the timeline in the book (which would lock a lot of plot/story stuff in), and after talking about it, we decided not to stick it in there," Hickman continued.
One of the cut bits from Hickman's original plans for 1000-year timeline involved Cylobel, Nimrod, and the black brain telepaths.
Near the end of the interview, Hickman is answering a question about souls and the idea of duplicates existing came up. He goes on to say:
“But if that’s the case then what about duplicate copies, which one gets the soul? I dunno, that sounds like a story to me, but that’s also why they’re not allowing copies of characters on Krakoa. But what if there’s a mistake and you think someone’s dead, but make a copy anyway? Well, again, that sounds like a story… and we even have a series built around resurrection problems coming out next year."
Apparently, the main sci-fi conceit of the books revolving around mutants being reborn whenever they die is going to become a huge deal. Such a big deal it’ll be getting its own book next year.
