>>115855271The problem with that was Lorna has never been believable as Magneto’s heir or potential rival, and more like a mentally ill woman who becomes one of his worshipful groupies. During the Genosha years, the only time she has had any real long-term interactions with Magneto, she was initially kidnapped to be his literal battery slut and went along with everything he said as long as he kept her around. She became addicted to the power input from Magneto using her to make up for his own injuries. Worse, she thought Alex was dead at the time, and coped poorly by keeping his old uniforms to talk and kiss with. She was lost, looking for any purpose to her life, why not a daddy that she use to dream about, as shown in pic?
When Iceman begged her to come home, she gives an excuse that sounds like a brainwashed cultist justifying why this was home now. She even stayed after Magneto tortured Pietro and sent him home on a Russian oil tanker, and when Alex turned out to be alive. She felt abandoned by him, not because she actually believed in Magneto’s politics. When Austin retconned her in, she discover this just as the Sentinels arrive and shown abandoning everyone to save her own skin, something Magneto wouldn’t condone. Magneto at least had zero powers and was locked in a bunker by his people. What was Polaris’ excuse? Then she does her best Magneto impression to try to kill Professor X for not liking her giant Magneto/Xavier statue and threatening to kill Wanda and Wolverine if they tried to interfere. Later, at her wedding to Alex, she tries to kill the human woman whose mutant son had been brainwashing her and Alex to have dream dates. Not to get Alex and Nurse Annie telepathic therapy and reprimand the child, but kill them and the guest.
Since then, her only lines with him have been generic ‘don’t be naughty and I love you daddy’ in Bunn’s X-Men-Blue or the single line to introduce exposition regarding the resurrection protocols.
