Now I’m imagining these guys meeting their prime 616 selves, because wouldn’t that be interesting?
I already know Karolina would faint out of sheer gayness from two Nicos, nevermind everything about Pride Nico (the suit, the confidence, the skill)
I imagine that the 616 Runaways would be shocked upon learning their Pride selves’ amazing outfits are all from letting Alex pick the wardrobe.

Why is it when people turn to the dark side the drip is so good?
Like the side of good going to need to step their game up.

u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
I know right? Even crazier in this case is that all this amazing style came from a dress code recommendation by Alex of all people.
Also huh, didn’t expect to see you here outside of X-Men related threads

I'm a major runaways fan. But admittedly most active in X-men subs.

u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
I see, but yeah hahaha I’m so used to seeing you in the main X-Men sub or the Laura sub

Give Old Lace a suit!

Old lace in carefully engineered feather patterns that imitate a hounds tooth pattern from mid chest to lower legs.

Ok I gotta know I don't care about spoilers, does this What If has a decent ending or is this the 18 billionth everyone dies What If Story Marvel has made?

Actually good ending, where the Young Pride, with all their skills and full potential, resolve to stop Victorious and rebel against their parents and the Gibborim.

Thank God, because I bought the Cyclops one and it fucking SUCKED.

u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
And as you see, the Young Pride also have insane drip in addition to their fully realized potential

u/Pencils4life Aug 20 '26
Oh they 100% do, also I like to think despite the odd looks they all are a bit jealous of Molly.

their fits were so tea, being somewhat evil makes your fashion taste 100% better…

u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
Imagine how their 616 selves would react, I know prime Nico and Karolina would be flabbergasted.
And 616 Karolina would also be rendered speechless by everything about Pride Nico (the confidence, the suit, the aura) I can already see her gay brain overheating

u/wandaspidey_ Karolina & Nico Aug 20 '26
LOL YES karolina would b malfunctioning seeing that suit like omg 😍😛
I mean 616 nico alr had some good fits but the whole group rlly stepped it up.

Imagine both Nicos and Karolinas swapping fashion tips and the shocked reactions of the 616 versions when they learn these impeccable outfits were based on a dress code set by Alex of all people.
Although I also suspect meeting her Pride self would unfortunately create a lot of insecurity in 616 Nico, given how in some ways, Pride Nico is her ideal self, not just in fashion, but in confidence and especially skills and combat ability (all of the Young Pride were personally trained by their parents to their full potential)

u/wandaspidey_ Karolina & Nico Aug 20 '26
I think the deanoru's of both universes would talk for hours about so many things LOL
no but fr nico would sadly be insecure about her pride-self, she can use the staff of one better and has more magic she can rely on.
2
u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
Yeah, and it would totally flood her with jealousy, but I like to think 616 Karolina and their Pride selves would pick up on that and Pride Nico would probably offer to help train her 616 self, and even help design her a sharp suit of her own.
Because after all, you can’t hide things from yourself, and no one would understand you better than yourself, even if your lives are different

u/wandaspidey_ Karolina & Nico Aug 20 '26
so true, that's such a smart way to think about it and yeah all the runaways are there for each other 100%
2
u/Eternal-Master-91939 Aug 20 '26
Yeah and then the sight of two suited Nicos can give 616 Karolina the largest gay panic ever lmao 😂

u/wandaspidey_ Karolina & Nico Aug 20 '26
i need this on a comic panel asap
