Tanya Wright, Invictus ... Whateley Academy ... maybe it's just a hidden trap, intent on making you lose yourself to a destiny that was never meant to be yours.

Has she picked out her codename yet? ... Wait, did she inherit her mom's codename? ... I wonder how figurative 'destiny' is, given Prophecies and stuff of the Whateley-verse...

You may not be writing a sequel, but I expect that someone is.

You broke up one team, caused severe distress to another, and you want to just leave it at that?

Superman died at the end of BvS (and it doesn't get more final than that), but somehow I think he'll be back just like in the comics.

But good news. As is often the case... we just went from sending it out as fast as it comes in to "everyone finished stuff at the same time" ... So, I haven't had any G1 stories to offer for a month. This Monday, I have to choose between three or four G1, and one or two G2 pieces. Pretty sure at this point, its going to be a G1 release... but which one? Now that would be telling (and would ruin all the fun of the bakery gambling olympics team).

Well, Elrod's running Cerulea in Gen2...

There's Kayda... "He also took over Charge, previously a minor character, and turned her into a protagonist. He has also introduced several new characters such as Knockoff, 'Shine"

Danny.

He has quite a few character in South Dakota he could run with, Danny and Kayda's Parents and their new mutant hired help, Sioux Falls League, Kayda's ex-girlfriend who's now a woods elf ...

There's his collaborations with E. E. and his stable of characters (Lanie, Wyatt, Traduce, ...)

There are all the characters I'm pushing for Elrod to ship with Danny ....

There's so much Elrod could do

Okay, here you go:

You're asking the wrong question.

With all that we have shown you about the lack of impulse control in exemplars, about the statements of the mental diseases that they suffer from with Galahad syndrome and Hercules syndrome, about how the teen pregnancy rate of mutants is significantly higher than the normal average, you're all missing the point.

The question is not how would Whateley handle a teen pregnancy.

The question you should be asking is why are there not any pregnant teens at Whateley now? Because there aren't any.

Malady wrote: I was thinking just like, slightly warm... But then again, are condoms heat-resistant enough that it'd have to burn to break them? I don't think so??

Avoiding injuring your partner is your top priority. Fortunately, several sexual aids are available for Exemplars so they can really let loose. First and foremost is the Brick Condom, made for both sexes. Highly durable, these Condoms are made from a patented ‘rubber’ that can absorb a significant amount of kinetic energy, and are coated with a high-slip surface that reduces friction. The same company that makes these gadgets has links with several space exploration programs. These are a must-have item for any Exemplar, even if you don’t plan on having sex in the foreseeable future. It is recommended that you keep at least one on your person at all times. Another extremely useful gadget is Exemplar Handles. The majority of sexual injuries caused by Exemplars involve the hands. Using these bars as grips, usually affixed to a strong surface, prevents incidental clawing, scratching and pummelling assuming that they are used correctly. Be sure to use Handles appropriate to your Exemplar level.

In vulgar circles, there’s a certain injury sustained by normal men during intercourse with Exemplar women that they call the ‘c**t crush’. Involuntary spasms of the vagina and legs during coitus can severely injure a man’s genitals, pelvic region and back when using certain sexual positions. Again, always insist on a reinforced brick condom, and avoid the missionary position. If you must, a special girdle can be purchased that will take the sting out.

Unless there is a villain base or hidden HQ for a criminal organization down there, a common trope in superhero settings but Whateley isn't common, and those involved in it are going to be involved in one or more stories, I would have to say no to that idea. A student from such a location, maybe, it is always possible.

Umm, Penguins are native to the Southern Hemisphere, and polar bears to the Artic regions of the Northen Hemisphere.

If Penguin Boy and the Polar Bear Emperor against each other, someone is seriously out of bounds.

Mikew the squirrel is a minor character of Wabanaki folklore. According to legend, Mikew was once a large carnivore like a wolf or bear but the culture hero, Glooscap, decided he was too ferocious and dangerous to humans and shrunk him to his current size. However, Mikew retained his ill-temper, and often is portrayed as a busybody and troublemaker.

They may have, and they might not have. It's imp-possible to say who of the cabal has read this imp-pressive round of tales of the imp-pulsive Imp. We don't know if she is teaching imp-pressionable youngsters her talents in Gen 1 or Gen 2 just from the fact that it's an Imp tale; if it's Gen 2, then both the gen 1 and gen 2 cabals would have read it. If it's Gen 1, then it's imp-plausible that Neo would have had an opportunity to read it, since it's imp-plicit that Gen 1 can access ALL Whateley, but Gen 2 can only access Gen 2.

I don't mean when its going to be released I mean Gen 1, Gen 2 or Gen 0 (unless she becomes a teacher in Gen 1 timespan, or in the prolog timespan of Gen 2 I believe her career change would be Gen 0, between summer of 2010 and 2015). Personally for the fun interactions I hope she was hired the summer of 07, that way we can see her relatively frequently with both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 crowds, If that's the case, it may overlap with the cannon introduction of Sphere.

Looking at the wiki, Imp drops out of the super scene at around the current Gen 1 timeline, so Imp's hiring for Gen 1 Y2 makes sense.

I don't mean when its going to be released I mean Gen 1, Gen 2 or Gen 0 (unless she becomes a teacher in Gen 1 timespan, or in the prolog timespan of Gen 2 I believe her career change would be Gen 0, between summer of 2010 and 2015). Personally for the fun interactions I hope she was hired the summer of 07, that way we can see her relatively frequently with both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 crowds, If that's the case, it may overlap with the cannon introduction of Sphere.

That latter one happens a lot, because the best candidates will have applied in multiple places within the region they want to teach in, so several schools will have seen the same people and only one is going to get that top choice.

And I'm trying to avoid the contemporary cultural elements as much as possible because I simply don't know... and because of the direction the story is going to go, I don't really need to know (it's more Indiana Jones than X-men... ).
