For Marvel Zombies, especially Mutant lovers...?

Question

The last Mutant title I read was New Mutants (the recent run), issue 6. So please fill me in on what House of M was about, and the key events. Does it in any way lead into Civil War?

Answer 1

House of M was preceeded by the Avengers Disassembled storyline. To sum up the AD storyline, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, went crazy and made a bunch of crazy things happen. She was beaten at the end, and was whisked away by her father, Magneto. This was something of a surprise to the MU, since Magneto was supposed to be dead (see Claremont's title "Excalibur" back in 2003 or so for a really lame explanation about all that).

Wanda has now realized the scope of her powers: to actually reform reality as she sees fit. So she does. First and foremost, she makes a world where her father has his greatest wish fulfilled, a world where mutants overpowerd humanity and now rule the world. Normal humans are a social minority, and mutants hold the real power. It's a reasonably stable society, unlike the Age of Apocalypse, but it's a worldwide dictatorship with Magneto in charge. The different MU heroes all had different lives, and these titles all ran for varying amounts of time under the "House of M" flag. Spiderman, for instance, though not a mutant, is assumed to be one because of his superpowers. He's a celebrity, married to Gwen Stacy (who didn't die in this timeline), living a life of power, money, and priviledge.

Ultimately, a young mutant surfaces who has the power to see through Wanda's reshaped world, and she "awakens" hero after hero to what's going on. They mount an attack on Magneto, and a big mess ensues. Wanda, seeing the carnage going on around her, decides that the world might be better off without mutants at all. So she says "No more mutants." Then, there are no more mutants.

Well, mostly. Almost every main mutant character retains their powers (Quicksilver and Jubilee are exceptions, being rendered powerless). So this was probably just Marvel's last step in reversing everything Grant Morrison set up during his years on the X-titles. But maybe not. Some mutants were too powerful to be affected, and other just weren't affected for some reason. All in all, supposedly 198 mutants remain mutants, leaving millions of them powerless. A few, like Iceman, regain their powers almost immediately.

There are a few major results of this.
1) Professor X was supposed to be dead in the House of M world. His grave turned up to be empty when heroes checked it out, but he still hasn't surfaced post House of M, so Chuck is missing, once again.
2) S.H.I.E.L.D. has placed Sentinal Squad One, a group of giant Sentinel robots piloted by humans, on the grounds of the mansion to "protect" the mutants there. This location is also the site of a mutant gathering. Some are calling it a concentration camp.

In the wake of House of M, but not totally related to it, is the Hero Registration Act, which would require all heroes to essentially get licenses to be heroes. They would have to make their identities public. Tony Stark was a major supporter of this Act. He eventually got Spiderman on his side, and Spidey recently unmasked himself to the world. Civil War takes up from here, as many heroes, especially mutants, think registration is an unjust requirement.

There you go!

Answer 2

The House of M, the world goes through changes via the Scarlet Witch as assisted by Quicksilver. Wishes are granted and not all of them are what they should be. Government is having to deal with change of levels of mutants population. Wanda made most of the mutants lose their powers. 198 retained their powers. House of M available in trade paperbacks.

by the way - I love DC

Answer 3

attainable explinations?!?! Are you severe. there is not any believeable clarification for every physique to get superpowers. they are all made up. Mutants are geneticly distinctive, and the main ones each and every have a distinctive clarification why their genes have been mutated. they seem to be a clean species, it in elementary terms is sensible that marvel might populate the international with them and have tens of millions of them look. They lost ninety% of them those days, using a the Scarlet witch. there are in elementary terms some clarification why somebody gets "powers". magic Alien existence variety technologies twist of destiny with random chemical compounds education mystical involvement they stumbled on something that can provide them ability experimented on by using delivery. each and every thing else is a version of those issues. Superman is an alien. Iron guy is techno based, Daredevil have been given burned with radioactive pollution, Batman experienced difficult, Juggernaut stumbled on the Gem of Cytorak. Wolverine had powers from being a mutant (birthrite) and being experimented on. There are in elementary terms various distinctive powers available. they are going to start to overlap. in case you do no longer think of they are resourceful sufficient, circulate write your guy or woman comics and cause them to extra useful.

Answer 4

Wasn't the House of M that stupid gimmick storyline where it ended with most of the mutant population losing their powers?

This is WHY I don't buy comics anymore.
