I was a bit busy with some home renovations this week, but I still wanted to jot down a few quick thoughts about a mutant who has been consistently one of the best-performing characters of her generation. Danielle Moonstar, aka Mirage, is a hard character not to like. She tries hard at everything she does, she cares about her friends and she goes on magical adventures in other dimensions. So with no further ado, here's a few quick points about Dani.
-
I frequently start these posts by talking about the powers of the mutant involved, but in Dani's case, her powers are probably the least important part of her skillset. Dani's power was the ability to create illusions whose effectiveness was pulled from the minds of the beholders. Originally, she could show you your greatest fear, but eventually she diversified her power and could show people their heart's desires, or even convincing deceptions. It was an interesting little psychic trick. She could also deploy her power as a kind of energy spear or arrow that could stun people, a bit like Psylocke's psychic knife. Later, she after a near-brush with a de-powering machine, she gained the ability to make her illusions real. However, Dani didn't really lean too heavily on her power. It's interesting that while her codenames were Psyche and Mirage, almost nobody thinks of her in those terms. For almost everyone, she's 'Moonstar'. It was always more about her smarts, skills and ability to motivate others that were her real source of power. In that respect, Dani is probably more like Storm than any other X-Man. Like Ororo, Dani has had some brushes with losing her powers, both mutant and mystical. She was one of the more prominent mutants to lose her abilities on M-Day, and perhaps one of the better choices. Even without her powers, Dani is formidable.

The Asgard Adventure was a huge experience for the New Mutants, and out of all of them, Dani was the most profoundly affected. When the New Mutants were scattered across the Nine Realms, Dani found herself near a pegasus, who she helped escape a snare set by evil creatures and befriended. She also met a group of women who had pegasi of their own. What she didn't realize is that those women were Valkyries, the legendary Norse warrior angels, and that by being chose by her winged horse Brightwind she was effectively being inducted into their ranks. Dani's relationship with her status as a Valkyrie has been fraught over the years. Soemtime
Hello
I need to design five characters as part of a Uni assessment. It's for a game based on superheroes. The most complicated to picture would be "Spirit"
Spirit, her pole, and her ghostly falcon, or falcons, share a single conscience. She can use her pole as "Acrobat" in Dungeons and Dragons, or, possessed by the spirit of falcon/s, the pole can turn into a long ghostly pike with the spike somehow shaped as a falcon/s.
I think of her wearing a mask and having a curly, populated mane. Along the lines of Dani Moonstar when she went radical. See

Me id like to see sunspot, Havok, polaris, and Danielle Moonstar, along with sunfire.
I can only think of three:
Kitty Pryde - Sprite, Ariel, Shadowcat
Danielle Moonstar - Psyche, Spellbinder, Mirage
Tabitha Smith - Time Bomb, Boom Boom, Boomer, Meltdown
Are there any more?
nonmutants:
Carol Danvers - Ms. Marvel, Binary, Warbird, Captain Marvel
Monica Rambeau - Captain Marvel, Photon, Pulsar, Spectrum
Hank Pym - Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

" Nice Belt "

When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
