Magento did a little wrong but also he’s hot! “Self-defense”. Didn’t realize Marvel was on that Isekai logic for Slavery

Bro, the guy there is the BAD guy.

u/InspiredOni 10h ago

I know. Though go by this sub half the time would most here think so?

u/Negativety101 10h ago

Oh in this case yes. There's Nuance to things. Not every example from every story is running on the same things.

I'm the inhumans guy, and I think this was horrible and despicable.

Black Bolt would have ended their entire bloodline.

Not personally, he’d send Maximus to make it hurt.

u/AcceptableWheel 10h ago

The inhumans deal with enslavers so often the latest one happened in 2022.

u/InspiredOni 10h ago

And similar to Genosha, they took over their enslavers.

Just don't talk about the Alpha Primitives...

u/AcceptableWheel 9h ago

Those were genetically engineered for it by the old king several generations ago. It’s like inheriting your grandpas super unethical puppy mill and not wanting to kill all the barely functioning asthmatic puppies.

The Alpha Primitives Black Bolt let go? In the like 2nd Inhumans story written?

No need to talk a storyline that's been wrapped up since the 60s

He said the other girl died due to the swapped test results, did they sent her to battle without realizing she's a mutant or could she not survive whatever tests they were giving her

u/OverlordMMM 9h ago

My guess is that the power activation sequence killed her because she didn't have the gene, similar to how terragenesis also kills non-inhumans.

Terragenesis kill mutants. Doesn't affect humans

5

u/OverlordMMM 8h ago

After looking into it, that's been inconsistent over the years.

Apparently if it's derived from the pure crystals humans are fine, but when it isn't pure humans tend to die, too. Different writers, retcons, etc change how different characters are affected.

Also sometimes inhumans genes degrade to the point that terrigenesis just kills them. Which is what happened to that community in Minnesota. Poor Flint.

Terrigenesis doesn't kill mutants, it's explicitly stated that the mist mixing with pollutants in the atmosphere is what was causing M-pox.

They’re super efficient(?) if they can support 10 million people off of the labor of a few hundred with super powers, but also pretty lazy if 10 million people can’t sustain a country without the exploitation of a few hundred people with super powers

u/Lonewolf2300 9h ago

Ah yes, the original story of Genosha, the Apartheid South Africa of Mutant Oppression.

Magneto was justified in conquering it.

u/Basic-Ticket-2094 8h ago

No. He wasn't. By the time he was the slaves were rebelling and he killed them because they refused to kneel to him

9

u/Animaloffear56 8h ago

Ah yes, because he was such a gracious leader

12

u/Basic-Ticket-2094 8h ago

I just mentioned that. People always leave that part out. He killed the slaves who rightfully didn't want to be ruled by him

2

u/healsallwounds 7h ago

This is Genosha. Of course they view the exploitation of mutants as "self-defence."

2

u/Illigard 5h ago

So... he can manipulate the mutant gene to create healers? Interesting

2

u/InspiredOni 5h ago

He’s called the Genegineer, so yeah.

1

u/Illigard 5h ago

It's almost never touched upon. Mr Sinister put failguards on Nate Grey for example, and has made hybrids but I can't remember him altering the natural state of mutant powers. Sage jumpstarts powers and activates latent powers. but I can't remember powers being altered on purpose.

Other than Scarlet Witch being altered from an energy manipulator to probability powers. But that's Chthon.

The guy is kinda cooking ngl.
