Unless the only part Sinister is interested in is the Y chromosome going by the male line only doesn't make sense and the Y chromosome is pretty lame, its only job is to make the baby male.
Usually I'd agree but X-Men specifically has genetics and the X-gene as part of its premise so I would have hoped that they at least recognized that the male line being more important doesn't make sense when it comes to DNA in most cases.
That's not really relevant to what I'm mo prizing. Power levels and potential in comics don't really interest me. I'm talking genetic relevance of their having the same mother.
Oh yeah, that's right. And Alex's powers work on him. Sounds like a perfect situation to square this circle by finding out Corsair's his dad, but he's got a different mom.
It's really not. He's ludicrously powerful (and it's not really that powerful, he's got an absolutely insane range on a power that is lethal, but not actually that impressive) because he was genetically engineered to be ludicrously powerful and is both a mutant human and a member of the most powerful bloodline of a powerful alien species.
"Kill people" is not an impressive power. It's the range that makes him impressive, but unlike with most Omega level mutants he would get his ass kicked one on one with anyone with mild super strength and a healing factor.
Yes, creating "that kind of power" is the piint of of contributing an x-gene to the already powerful Shiar. You remember that in x^100 the Shiar were harboring mutants because of their potential, right?

Firstly: Erik the Red doesn't have a healing factor. The entire point is that the power to kill isn't actually that powerful against people who don't die. Adam's range is impressive. His actual power isn't.Adam has the ability to impose a range of power on an individual from "mild warming sensation" all the way up to Certain Death. "Mild Super strength and a healing factor" describes all of the shi'ar assassins he took out in today's issue, including Erik the Red.

Physical strength doesn't seem to matter- Adam one shot ETR and his entire crew right after erik tanked a combined hit from a scott and alex that weren't holding back. If he wants you dead, you are- which is what he was explaining to no one in particular.
this is a weird one. Wolverine is well below the power level of the people taken out this issue. No reason to assume he survives.
The shi'ar aren't particularly powerful as a species. The imperial guard are the top of the pile and most of those are from other species within the empire, not Shi'ar per se. Gladiator for instance is Strontian, not Shi'ar. Deathbird (remember her?) is an *unusually powerful* genetic throwback and she's only really around where wolverine is in terms of physical ability.
The Shi'ar were harboring mutants in the future because the X-men have long established diplomatic ties with the shi'ar royal family AND it's an interstellar refuge where the machines couldn't go.
I mean, it's the only logical way I see it working. Darwin leveling up so much while being disentergrated he levels himself up past life makes more sense than simply being exploded.
Yep. It's closing the loop on unfinished story lines so they can be relevant later.
Just follow the last page. Each book provides the reading order and highlights in red which issues are the most important.
Yes, all of Dawn of X and then X of Swords which takes place after Dawn of X 16. I'm reading that way too.
Have you read Gwenpool?
