What do you think will happen after House of M?

[Eric J. Moreels]

Marvel have previously guaranteed that one of these six things will happen after House of M concludes in September. Which do you think is most likely?

* The number of mutants living on Earth will be reduced to 300 maximum, returning the X-Men to their familiar perch on the edge of extinction

* The Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes will merge

* Thor will return

* Dr. Strange sacrifices himself to stop the Scarlet Witch, leaving Wanda to become Sorceress Supreme

* Peter Parker will no longer be married to Mary Jane

* Daredevil's secret identity will become secret again

[James Groves]

Thor returns.

[BadMotives]

Mutant population drastically reduce. Not to maximum of 300. The perfect number would be active population of say 5000 to 10,000. Right now I think it is something in the range of 1 million+

Marvel have said one of the above six things will happen, so if its mutant population reducing, they've said it'd be 300 max.

[BadMotives]

Marvel have said one of the above six things will happen, so if its mutant population reducing, they've said it'd be 300 max.
Oh... thanks. I didn't know they had said anything about there being a limit.
I do think limit of 300 is to low.

[Robb Welch]

only one of those things will happen?
well then im going with daredevil's secret i.d. because bendis is leaving daredevil like right as house of m ends. and he writes both, so im going with that one. although that would seem kind of funny that this remarkably self contained series would rely on a crossover to end the series.
and then again bendis stated there would be no "reset button" on the i.d. thing.

[Anthony Devlin]

Hmmmm... Only one you say.. well i cant make my mind up so I'm going to say its either going to be Mutants in the Marvel Universe reduced to 300 or Dr Strange sacrifices himself, replaced by Wanda as Sorceress Supreme... I just dont think one of the other options would make much sense....

[Jon Hancock]

Is there no "Marvel pushes the reset button again" option?

[CherryPoppins]

Thor returns. That seems most likely.

[Anthony Devlin]

Well not really.. He was always going to come back sooner or later... I just don't see how his return is going to be connected to this event....

[CherryPoppins]

Well not really.. He was always going to come back sooner or later... I just don't see how his return is going to be connected to this event....

We will see. ;)

[mode1]

Tyhis isn't one of the six things mentioned but I'm kind of wondering if Hawkeye will still be around after House Of M. We all know he's gonna be back sooner or later.........

[Uncanny-T!]

Is there no "Marvel pushes the reset button again" option?

Oh, please not !

If the mutant populations decreases up to 300, that means that all the squads and characters of New X-Men Academy X will be gone ? :(

[Anthony Devlin]

If the mutant populations decreases up to 300, that means that all the squads and characters of New X-Men Academy X will be gone ? :(

Well no, not necessarily, just means we wont see all the Mutants over in District X I guess...

[Skitz]

If the mutants are reduced, where will they go? Will they die or return to humanity? It's impossible to do, as way to many secondary characters with large fan bases will go, for example IMO if it's down to 300, Lifeguard will go, and there will be uproar. My bet is Dr. Strange sacrifices himself, though he does appear in the New Defenders Mini...

[Robb Welch]

Well if thats what it takes to get rid of lifegaurd im all for it...

Also, doctor strange dying wont stop the defenders mini.

both Sue Dibney and Blue Beetle were dead and that didnt stop the same creative team from doing "I cant beleive its not justice league"

[Skitz]

Yeah I just used Lifeguard because shes all i could think off.. People like Sunfire and Wildchild will go because unless they have a direct reason to be there.. BAM

[Paul Shinn]

Marvel have previously guaranteed that one of these six things will happen after House of M concludes in September...

*sigh* See, why do that? I'm not actually following House of M, but doesn't it kinda kill the momentum of the book to give away one of the pay-offs of the series, even if it is in Marvel's Oh-so-cryptic fashion...?!

I know Marvel is a business trying to drum up interest in it's product, but doesn't word-of-mouth reap just as good publicity as the companies infuriating press-releases?

[Jazzy_P]

Thor needs his pies...he'll be back.
I personally would love to see Peter get rid of MJ...or visa versa, i never liked her in the first place

[BadMotives]

Thor needs his pies...he'll be back.
I personally would love to see Peter get rid of MJ...or visa versa, i never liked her in the first place
Absolutely NOT!!!

Peter and MJ are great couple. Peter never has been the playboy like Archangel, so him being in a stable relationship works well and continues to have plenty of storytelling potential.

[Dylan McKay]

Absolutely NOT!!!

Peter and MJ are great couple. Peter never has been the playboy like Archangel, so him being in a stable relationship works well and continues to have plenty of storytelling potential.

No, but he's the guy who can't get a break. And marrying an actress model sure seems like catching a break.

I voted for Thor. Be cool to see him give Wanda the big beatdown.

[Anthony Devlin]

I voted for Thor. Be cool to see him give Wanda the big beatdown.

Why would Thor give Wanda a big beatdown, his return would happen after HoM, so one would assume any big beatdown involving Wanda would happen before HoM concludes... Plus id Thor coming back is the result of this I'll be mighty peeved..

[M-Angel]

Hey where's the "Marvel is just screwing with our heads and none of that will happen" personally I just dont like the options.

Will Thor be back? eventually
Will Peter and MJ Break up? probably but sooner or later they are gonna end together again.
Mutant population reduced to 300? number seems to small and..unlikely
Daredevil's secret identity returning? isnt he better off this way?

I think Marvel is just messing with us

[Anthony Devlin]

Right I'm totally convinced it's the Mutant population one... I'm near enough sure as sure can be that I read something on this before HoM started and Bendis stated that one of the long term outcomes would be on the size of the mutant population. So it's got to be the decreases option... it makes most sense really. (Unless I did a Dallas and dreamt it all, which is quite possible, having some right odd dreams recently)

[Douglas Cuckler]

I wish Scarlet Witch would take over as Sorceress Supreme, but I fear I'm only dreaming. There's a Dr. Strange Movie in the works, so :(.
I voted for it anyway.

With Bendis leaving DD, and Marvel's 2 in ten mutant count, I can see them pulling both off.

[Jazzy_P]

Absolutely NOT!!!

Peter and MJ are great couple. Peter never has been the playboy like Archangel, so him being in a stable relationship works well and continues to have plenty of storytelling potential.


I agree, he needs a stable relationship...i just dont like MJ...anyone who gets locked up in a cupboard for a year by a crazy telepath just aint my thing..now felicia on the other hand...............

And i have to agree with Dylan, the guy just cant catch a break...oh look my parents are back, oh no wait theyre killer robots..oh look i have a clone (or 7) noo it seems im the clone, no wait im not. I have a kid, oh wait..gosh darn it.....

[BlackMage]

I say everything has a distinct possibility except for the Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes merging. I'm voting for the reduction of the mutants, though, since it seems the most epic of the options, and there are just WAY too many mutants in the 616 universe to deal with anyway.

Coming in second is Peter Parker and Mary Jane being no more, and then Wanda as Sorceress Supreme.

[Ovid]

I think it'll be the reduction in population. It's the closest to a 're-set' button of all the choices and resetting the MU to status quo is inevitable. :( :rolleyes: Also, Quesada said HoM would put genies back in bottles. Morrison's take on mutants eventually superceding sapientes comes closest to that description.

[Uncanny-T!]

Like the population of mutant will reduce, Stacy X dissapears and she doesn't appear in the movie !

[Lucid]

I can see the mutant population being downsized after HoM, but not to 300. I can also see Thor coming back.

[MightyTev]

300 is too low, I don't think they'd be able to manage that. All the established mutants will probably remain, but most of the kiddies at Xaviers will go unless we've already been introduced to them. I can see someone like Beast losing his mutant powers but staying on to help the X-Men with all the science related stuff.

[Drew Shirley]

Wasn't the whole early word, especially amongst rumor mongers, that House of M was effectively going to be a tool to turn the X-Men and associates into a "special few people" again, and reverse the whole "mutants overtaking humanity" aspect that's been so prevalent of late?

People were saying that back when House of M was just a name that was floating around.

[Vyns]

Well Thor was coming back regardless IMO.

Hey, where's the Marvel and DC swap Wolverine and Batman option.

[hondo]

It'll be the mutant downsizing. Some or most of the other things will eventually happen, but paring down the number of muties tripping over each other will significantly help the out of control concept get back to its roots, and thus, bring up sales of Marvel's largest and most valuable franchise.

[Uncanny-T!]

Now I think that all the options will happen, except "Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes merge ".

Post 600 ! :dance:

[dman988]

The only one seeming realistic to me Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes merge. Although, I don't know, I mean look what Bendis did with Avengers, altrhough I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

[X-Hoe]

I want my sexxy man THOR back.... :yum:

[Spider-X]

NO! Don't kill off Dr. Strange!! Marvel is suspiciously killing off all of Stan Lee's works one by one and bringing in their own junk. I say keep the doctor and let Xavier sacrifice himself...jeeze! :scared: :aaargh:

[Jesse Baer]

I voted for the Dr. Strange event because it seems like the most logical, with his involvement in the storyline; though with the role mutants have in the House of M universe, I'd put them in a close second.

I highly doubt the Ultimate and regular universes will be merging.
I'd be extremely pissed off if the Peter Parker no longer married to Mary Jane one came true.

I would really love to see the Mutants reduced to 300, I'm really hoping for that one.

[Fatale]

About the reducing the mutant option, I think it could either be that or EVERY superhuman becomes a mutant.

[anothercablefan]

well in a recent wizard or comic book shop news, can't remember which one, there's info on thor returning with very little reference to house of m. is it just me or does everyone think that when this is over it'll be more of a reboot of the MU then event? would explain thor coming back and the numbers of mutants dropping.

[Tan K.]

Well, 300 mutants seems kinda low. What? Half of them are X-Men already.

Wanda as Sorceress Supreme would shake things up a bit, but for some reason, I don't know if they would do that especially after JMS went through the trouble of writing a mini that I never read about him.

Ultimate Universe though misbegotten is too much of a cash cow to merge with the 616.

DD ID? Too simple. If that is what I have to look forward to.....

Parker and MJ splitting. I would hate it, but his love his Gwen. Maybe this one.

I picked Thor returning. Just enough oomph to be worth anything.

[Fatale]

Well, if Hawkeye returning is supposed to break the internet in half, then maybe Thor returning is what makes the House of M so great :rolleyes:

I'd be very unhappy with the mutant population going under 300. Especially if it meant that some already established mutants are retconned to not be (or if they just kill them off ot make their numbers right).

[Will Carper]

I'd be very unhappy with the mutant population going under 300. Especially if it meant that some already established mutants are retconned to not be (or if they just kill them off ot make their numbers right).

maybe they could erase austen's whole run. :cross:

btw, did any of you know he said in an interview that the people posting online negatively about him were just seven people posting under different names. :rolleyes:

[Anthony Devlin]

I don't know why everyone's getting their knickers in a knot over the possibility of a reduction in mutants; I doubt they would remove popular mutants... I'm guessing the only ones in threat of being erased are background mutants that appear in District-X, that aren't needed.. Yeah the more I think of it the more it makes sense, mutants reduced, no more mutant town or genosha.... Well Excalibur has been canceled and has there been any word on whats happening with District X after all this??

[Drew Shirley]

Again I go back to months ago when the word was Marvel wanted to make the X-men and their ilk special again, so they were going to get rid of a alot of "usless" mutants. People in the backgrounds of scenes that had no other purpose than having horns or find to fill out the mutant population.

I'm voting for mutant population reduction.

[Fatale]

But who is 'useless'? I hope they don't label Sunspot, Forge, or Generation X kids 'useless' just because they're not as popular as, say Cyclops or Wolverine. I wouldn't be so heartbroken if unnamed, completely unexplored mutants running in the background were erased, but I hope this doesn't mean the students already established in Academy X are erased or low-tier former X-Men/X-Corp/allies.

[Anthony Devlin]

The “useless ones” will be the background mutants that only ever feature in say one title, and possibly in only one to two issues... I don't think it's going to be as dramatic as people think, just no more mutants in mutant town, no more genosha. They'll only be the small characters that haven't really developed at all, I don't think well known established character will have anything to worry about, I cant see them being removed..

Plus downsizing to only 300 mutants wont be to bad. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it is. I doubt there is 300 establish mutants in the MU now... And no i'm not going to back that claim up... I'd rather watch paint dry than try and count all the established mutant characters there are... It wont be a big thing really... trust me :)

[ihntlzha]

Long time reader, first time poster here...

I would love for the Mutant population to be reduced but I voted for Thor since it seems like that would be more likely to happen. You never know though... I anticipate the conclusion.

Darihn

[attackofthekillertomatoes]

Ultimate and regular universes will merge.

[Skitz]

Now that I think about it, I can see at the final moment :thor: rising from the ashes and fixing everything with that big ol' hammer his

[Filthy Mutie]

None of these really do it for me. I think the mutant population will be reduced, but not to 300. Thor's returning next year, Daredevil's identity and Spiderman's marriage aren't exactly universe-shaking changes, and the universes aren't going to merge. Strange's sacrifice seems most likely, although I'm not sure about Wanda being sane enough to become Sorceress Supreme. I guess at the end of the day, I pick Spiderman's marriage and hope that the real serious changes were kept off of this shoddy list for the sake of remaining more of a surprise.

[roy]

All of the options suck. And the mutant population brought back to 300? Ha! Then those 300 mutants would be X-men or X-related. Well, these aren't the best days for Marvel. DC is doing very good. Never paid them much attentiont, apart from New Teen Titans in the 80's and Frank Miller's Batman work. It seems they're getting all the good artists and writers lately.

[Veritas]

300 mutants worldwide?!?!?! Dang...I know the market is a wee bit X-saturated, but this is a bit extreme! That would make them an endangered Species not even a minority...this one doesn't make sense at all...
:hmmm: but on behalf of the X-Men, I thank all of you schmucks who voted for it...sheesh...

[PolarisLover]

btw, did any of you know he said in an interview that the people posting online negatively about him were just seven people posting under different names. :rolleyes:

Now that is hilarious! I wish he'd post here just to see him "handle" the haters.

[AdamWarlock]

The thing about Genosha was... most of the population wasn't even Mutants in the traditional X-men sense... they were mutates... created mutants... as well as some humans and some foreign born mutants from after Magneto took it over...

[Brian Geers]

I'm sure there will be the reduction of mutants in the MU, but 300 is a pitifully small number. It would take away from the "Even Your Neighbor Could Secretly Be A Mutant" sense of paranoia that's surrounded the X-Folk for years. Granted, that seems a welcome departure from "Everyone and Their Dog IS a Mutant" theme that cropped up thanks to Morrison's run, but fewer than 300 mutants is a major, major minority. In a world of billions, who's going to care if the government rounds up and kills 300 mutants "for the good of humankind" or simply legislating them into camps like "Neverland" and having done with it? Who's going to care about 300 mutants besides the 300 mutants, particularly when at least a third of them (I stopped tallying "named" X-chararcters after hitting 100 or so) are X-Men, X-Affiliates, or "Evil" mutants.

I don't think Wanda'll be the new Sorceress Supreme. "Doctor Maximoff" just doesn't have that ring to it and, besides, she's too busy being crazy. :D I think between JMS's reinvention of him in the Strange miniseries and the upcoming Defenders mini, the Doc's not going anywhere anytime soon. Besides, it'd give Giffen and DeMatteis a complex or something, as this would be the third time they'd be writing a "funny" miniseries featuring a character slated to get killed in a serious "event".

Thor's return, I think, would be worth an "event" all its own.

As for Peter Parker and MJ, they already broke them up once before for the same editorial reasons people are citing here (i.e., he can't be an "everyman loser" if he goes home to a sexy supermodel every night). It didn't work, just like killing off Aunt May didn't work. The Internet would crack because thousands of angry fans would be bludgeoning Bendis over the head with it because he tried to do what John Byrne attempted several years ago (through means more contrived than an airplane explosion).

HoM #3 seems to show (A)a tendency towards the series fixing mistakes the changes that Bendis himself has made, and (B) that the revelations involved are kind on the boring side, thus I think the big "event" that the poll lists as accurate will be the return of Daredevil's secret identity.

[James Groves]

if we see the return of Dareveil's secret identity, i'll be bitterly disappointed. House of M will just be running parallel to that of a smart retcon.

[Rictor]

I think a drastic reduction in the mutant population would be just the ticket. I could see multiple mutie onslaughts and hunters appearing out of nowhere. It sounds good to me, but just as long as :rictor: isnt one of the victims!

Hmmmmm, Im sure if Apocalypse was logged-in, he'd vote for this option too. It kinda fits in with his life-plan really, doesnt it!?

[Robb Welch]

maybe they could erase austen's whole run. :cross:

btw, did any of you know he said in an interview that the people posting online negatively about him were just seven people posting under different names. :rolleyes:
Yeah I dont really know what that had to do with anything...

[Chris Day]

i think that killing off hundreds (or more) established mutant characters isn't going to be something that would happen like this... Bendis isn't an X-writer i don't think he would be given the authority to do something like that...
too many creators would be opposed to such measures and it would be too difficult to make an official count of who has died or whatever, and who is still a mutant.

i think that it will be Thor returning instead. simply because Thor isn't even dead in the first place, he's only sleeping. and something as big as House of M would surely be enough to wake him up...

the ultimate and regular marvel universes won't merge because it wouldn't be profitable to do so.

i doubt that Dr Strange will sacrifice himself, he's in the Defenders series which hasn't even started yet...

i know that big things are going to happen in the spider-man books after HoM, and a big crossover thing... maybe he and MJ will no longer be married.

and i reckon Daredevil's identity might become secret too...

[morpheuzx]

Thor returns. wizard already reported that Mark Millar and Greg Land will be the creative team. Thor will have a new human identity. People will find pieces of asgard thrown about and whoever touches them becomes one the asgardians, like odin or thor when they touch the hammer. at least taht Milar said more or less...I'm too lazy to go into the details..

[fursoftbaby]

is this the most current Wizard? This might have nothing to do with House of M though. I like the idea of lots of Asgardians having human avatars/identities though. Enchantress, channeled by a teenage geek girl with glasses and her nose in a book all the time. That would be priceless!

[hondo]

I hadn't heard any of that Thor talk but I hope it's true ! Man, I would be all over that !

[Ovid]

has there been any word on whats happening with District X after all this??It's been cancelled. There's nothing more after Mutopia X. :(

300 mutants worldwide?!?!?! Dang...I know the market is a wee bit X-saturated, but this is a bit extreme!The market's saturated with books, not the MU with mutants, IMO. Brian's spot on with this. If the number's so low, why not just kill them all? Why would anyone worry about their child maybe becoming a mutant? The background mutants aren't 'useless'. They provide the context for the storytelling and show that mutation is a genuine issue in the MU. Morrison took an old idea - humans' hatred of mutants - and gave it a new rationale, that humans were genuinely threatened with extinction.

[Anthony Devlin]

It's been cancelled. There's nothing more after Mutopia X. :(



Well if that’s the case then its so obvious what the outcome is.. Lets go over it shall we.... District X deals with Mutant town: cancelled. Excalibur deals with rebuilding Mutant island Genosha: Cancelled..... HoM, there is going to be significant change in MU after this..... People the writing is so clearly written on the wall here.. Where going to see a reduction in Mutants.. Nothing else would make sense. Why cancel two titles that deal primarily with the mutant population explosion if it were not for a pre-planned immediate reduction?? If the population decreased these titles would become redundant wouldnt they.. Think about it... Plus Thor has no connection to this event what so ever, the other options are to small an trivial to even warrant an event like this to achieve.. The only clear joint runner in this would have been the Wanda/Doc Strange one.. But i don’t buy that one, its the obvious red hearing here.. I’m sorry but its so painfullyobvious what is going to happen here…:yes:

[sinestro]

i think all of the above is going to happen. :)

[gideonpryde]

Thor returns.

With the Defenders Mini on the horizon, I don't believe Doc Strange will be getting offed. And frankly, I don't feel the mutant pop diminishing to 300.

[atc]

Absolutely NOT!!!

Peter and MJ are great couple. Peter never has been the playboy like Archangel, so him being in a stable relationship works well and continues to have plenty of storytelling potential.

You don't have to worry about that one happening. JMS said months ago it won't happen, I don't even know why it's in this stupid poll. :rolleyes:

[Albino Dynamo]

I really hope Marvel dosen't merge the regular and ultimaye universe. That would suck so hard.

[sandman]

I think there are really too many mutants around in the marvel universe.
it was more fun when there were fewer mutants around .Now there are so many around with such spectacular and diverse powers they could take over the world if they all wanted to,that does not lend itself to making me think they could be percecuted in the marvel universe anymore.which is part of the whole x-men mythos. :rant:

[HNutz]

With the Defenders Mini on the horizon, I don't believe Doc Strange will be getting offed. And frankly, I don't feel the mutant pop diminishing to 300.

I don't know if that's the most logical reason... look at Giffen's recent JLA Classified story. It had been written for awhile but, by the time it came out, Beetle was dead, Sue was dead and Max was a killer, so... I could see a chance of "Defenders" possibly being out of continuity....

[Robb Welch]

man i just said that

[Dylan McKay]

Just thinking, based on the comments at SDCC, I think Wanda becoming Sorceress Supreme is the most likely event.

[peedi]

I think that Mutants in the Marvel Universe being reduced to 300 is the most logical choice. I read most of the x-titles every month, and there are just too many background and silent characters. I hope no one major bites it, but knowing Bendis, I'll bet that at least a few second tier characters will die, causing fan uproar. This is the same guy who killed Beast in his minimal Ultimate X-Men stint. He has no regard for the lives of characters that he won't be writing in the future. Pretty soon the Marvel U will only be Spider-Man, Cage, Wolverine, Captain America, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones & Drew, Sentry, Nick Fury, Dr. Strange, and about 200 sorry ass villians that have escaped from obscurity. I'm highly exaggerating for affect, though, just like Bendis' writing on HoM.

Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes merge - how could that even be possible?

Thor's return has already been officialy shot down.

I'd hate to see Peter Parker no longer married to Mary Jane. One, I think that is a very tired plot, as they've broken up before, and two, I see Bendis bringing back Gwen to be with Peter. Let the past be the past. Bendis relies on past events too much, which is the basis for this whole HoM business.

I think that it's unfair that you have writers on the monthly titles, but then Marvel let's Bendis come along and change so much of what they've done. Using M.J. as an example, MJS realy defined Peter's and M.J.'s relationship better than any other writer, and has definately made a clear distinction between Gwen and M.J.'s place in Peter's heart. And Bendis might undo that? Kinda sad for the monthly writer.

[Alex Guillen]

peersonally, I vte for the mutant population going down to 300. Yes, there are just too many popping up everywhere even with sucky powers and it's time to diminish them, they were becoming a majority, not a minority as intended to be.
I would like to see DD's identity back undercover, it's the whole point of people thinking that a blind lawyer couldn't be daredevil.

[John_Drake]

Bendis denied all these rumors over at the Millar board about a month ago.

[Marty P]

Thor returns. wizard already reported that Mark Millar and Greg Land will be the creative team. Thor will have a new human identity. People will find pieces of asgard thrown about and whoever touches them becomes one the asgardians, like odin or thor when they touch the hammer. at least taht Milar said more or less...I'm too lazy to go into the details..
Not really a Thor fan (I do LOVE the whole Asgardians concept. Thor is just...dull to me) but this actually sounds really cool....

[Marty P]

Ow, forgot to mention my choice:

I picked the Doc Strange option.
Why?
I don't know, I don't believe the other options are true, and neither this one, but I just thought it would be kinda cool...

[Bill Blank]

I'm a big Dr. Strange fan...and I LIKE the idea that he sacrifices himself to setup Wanda.

If ever there was a character who can outsmart death and return, its Dr. Strange...he does it a couple of times a year I think. ;) So his death wouldn't worry me.

Doc would be better if he was a little de-powered as well...he is cooler when he is a small fish outsmarting the bigger fish. Let him return to being Master of the Mystic Arts. Sorceror Supreme is a mantle he has never worn comfortably anyway.

[Frost Guy]

I think either Thor is coming back or Peter and MJ are getting divorced. The second one would make sense if Peter remembers his life during HoM, how can he be married to MJ knowing that deep down he isn't still over Gwen Stacy?

[sjr11]

I think that its probably Thor returning or Peter and MJ ending it.

As for everyone talking about only leaving 300 mutants in the 616 and killing the rest...It does not have to be all third or fourth tier mutants. If HoM is meant to shake up the foundations of Marvel, why not Cyclops or Emma or Beast or Gambit, the list can go on and on. My whole point is after HoM if it is 300 mutants left alive then I could see teams were there are no Storms, Cyclops, or Wolverines. They havent gone on the record yet to say who will be on the core teams.

[Leffa]

As if there would ever be a marvel without Wolverine. I doubt they would have the guts to do something like that, nor do I think of it as a viable option to kill of any of the main mutants (just think about fan reaction) :)

[cindercatz]

I'm a big Dr. Strange fan...and I LIKE the idea that he sacrifices himself to setup Wanda.

If ever there was a character who can outsmart death and return, its Dr. Strange...he does it a couple of times a year I think. ;) So his death wouldn't worry me.

I agree completely. This would also mean they were planning to fix Wanda in the process, rather than kill her off, which is where the mini seems to be heading. It also gets Strange maybe a little closer to where he was with his previous series, Master of The Mystic Arts, sure, but still in the thick of things, with a sense of discovery and surprise, rather than above it all.

[sjr11]

Why wouldnt they kill off someone such as Gambit. They killed off Vision.

As for no Wolverine, I agree that Marvel would never do that. I was only using that as an example.

So, who came up with all these ideas?

I don't think Thor is coming back, I doubt they would break up PP and MJ with SM 3 coming out next summer, I don't know why the relevance of the mutants in the MU being reduced to 300 would mean anything....

DD identity becoming secret again will probably happen, but the other stuff is just weird.

I don't understand why people would vote for the merging of Ultimate and 616 universe because there is no possible way that would happen! Never ever! That would cut Marvel's cash cow in half!

[Ovid]

So CBR's spoiled what'll happen and I win!

But I'm not happy about it... :rant: :mad:

[Anthony Devlin]

So which ones is it then, I can't be bothered reading back to my last post!!! It's the decrease on isn't it!!! Is it!!

[Anthony Devlin]

I knew it... It was slightly obvious.. Oh well...do we win anything :LOL:..

Thanks anyway T :)

[Nick Costanzo]

Wow... there isn't an "absolutely nothing of consequence" option? Guess I can't vote then...

[Shalashaska416]

i didnt get to vote, but id have to say the mutant poplation will go down. id say thats the most drastic change on the list IMO. Gues HoM really is marvels way of reseting everything..how nice. If this turns out to be the case, i kinda like the idea of mutants not being the majority, its a nice twist on things, if they play their hand right. too bad sum potentially good characters could get the axe.

[hondo]

It's definitely a step in the right direction IMO.

I think a lot of dead guys will be returning- SYNCH!!!!

[Ironstark]

Marvel Said that One Of These will Happen, that doesnt automaticly mean that none of the others wont happen, i personaly belive that these will happen
Mutant Population
Spidey and MJ
And Daredevil
We Know THor will return but i doubt it will be as a result of House Of M and its possible that Wanda May Replace Steve but i doubt it thats 2 DC-ish to happen

[AdamWarlock]

Guys Marvel said one of these things will happen after the House of M.... not because of the House of M...
So to be right it doesn't have to have anything to do with the House of M...
While the mutant population maybe decreasing, 300 is way to low to be even a viable minority in the world.
So I'm still going with Thor despite what the other sites have posted as being the answer.

Marvel will start printing old crap all over again.

[Keithius]

I hope that mutants dont get reduced to 300, cause that would mean World War III...and no one wants that!!!! I know I dont!

[Jonah Hex]

Marvel will start printing old crap all over again.
I have to say,that i did NOT like the House Of M,in my opnion it was bad writing by a egotistic writer.I can imagine this event will be forgotten,and ignored in later years. :LOL:

[Keithius]

I liked it but I can see it being forgotten because mutants have a tendency to have more lives than cats. Plus they hide well....so even after scarlet witch reduces the numbers to 300 you just know that some muties will be hiding out some where.

Hey can someone create a new poll already? This poll has been closed for about three weeks and it is kind of pointless. Maybe the new poll can be something like, "Favorite new series?" or "Coolest looking future super-hero film (if any)".
