There has been a lot of secondary mutation going on in the Marvel universe -- see Excalibur for Charles's worrying about it.
Yep and yep. Emma developed the new powers as a sort of "survival mechanism" when the Genoshan massacre hit.

Maybe she'll give birth to a goddess in a few months.
t stifles Polter-Cow over in the corner Er... so what was the Genoshan Massacre, and was it anything like the one at Alice's Restaurant?
As I recall, what happened at Alice's Restaurant was a massacree. Totally different head.
Genosha was a island nation in the SouthEast Asian area, with a population in the millions, faintly based on Singapore.
Mutants were enslaved there and used for industrial purposes. Later the mutants rebelled and formed a mutant friendly state. Magneto ruled it for a while, I think.
Then the entire population of the island was mysteriously killed by violence/explosions.
For a while it was treated as a mystery who orchestrated the massacre of presumbly millions of people. Not sure if they ever revealed who it was.
I consider the most unlikely bit of the scearnio was that supposedly most other nations on Earth yawned and wrote it off, basically because it was just mutants. In reality the fact that someone or something could mysteriously kill millions of people without revealing their identity would scare and piss off virtually every nation on Earth, if for no other reason that one of their enemies may figure out how to do it to them...
Was it modelled on Singapore? I'd thought it was an island South Africa.
Probably took aspects of both.
For instance, the Singapore aspects I noticed was the emphasis on production (via use of mutants) to be part of the world economy, social control of the entire society and the idea of a modernized, rapidly growing society remininscent of Hong Kong and the Four Tigers.
From South Africa, they borrowed aspects of Apartheid, a militarized society and mutant only areas/'homelands.'
Teppy -- I love the tiny Teen Titans! I want them too.
Has anyone read Selena's Big Score, the Catwoman TPB? My digital copy choked and died about 2/3rds of the way in, and I just want reassurance if I go buy a paper copy that the ending doesn't suck.
