WITH GREAT POWER: a X-Men Apocalypse short comic
In which Quicksilver unlocks his ferrokinesis. Full comic under the cut!
Tried my hand out at designing an au outfit for Quicksilver (or what Apocalypse might’ve designed for him, given his abilities)!
HC if he was the one that Apocalypse recruited instead of Erik:
- Erik would’ve taken his place rescuing Charles and everyone, maybe would’ve found out that Peter was his son from Peter himself while in battle
- En Sabah Nur would’ve helped him unlock his dormant ability to control metal (another clue to help Erik connect the dots that That’s His Son Right There-)
- He’d strike up a friendship with Ororo right off the bat!!! And continue it when they both enroll in Professor X’s school
ok so i'm obsessed with film making allusions to famous works of art and the symbolism of certain pieces and all that pretentious shit.
so i haven't been able to stop thinking about, if peter died, erik holding his body like michelangelo's pietà, which is the one where mary is cradling jesus' body after he's crucified. and it's literally one of my favorite things to see referenced in movies since it connotes kind of a mix of tragic loss of innocent life and a heroic death. and i just can't get peter draped over erik's lap like that out of my head.
and if the shot started close on erik's broken face then pulled away slowly until it was a very symmetrical wide shot as all the metal around him starts vibrating violently-
anyway
listen, my new favorite fanfic trope is Erik seeing Peter as a son figure, and having this whole speech to Peter about how they may not be related but he still cares for him yadda yadda… and peter just going “uuuuuhhhhhhh hey wanna know something funny”
uh oh! sad daneto art again 👁 👁
