retractable tail?

Post by Lady Bamf »

I was just wondering if anyone has heard, previously to the Nocture Story, of Nocturne having a retractable tail. It seemed to me that the only reason that this was mentioned is because it looked like the artist messed up and gave her a tail in the first few scenes. Thanks to anyone who has further info and comments.:)

I think that wasn't a mess up at all. I think it was a joke, becuase, in the begining of the series, she was drawn with a tail, and then it misteriously dissapeared. The whole retracting tail thing, and her only having a tail in a few pages of this arc, seemed to just be poking fun at it.

Honeslty, I can just see them going "Hey, we really need to explain why we keep messing this up!" and voila, retractable tail.

Ok, so it was like they hadn't formally decided if she has a tail or not so they came up with the retractable tail as an explaination of past issues. I see.:)

No problem! Nocturne is the daughter of Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch in one of Marvel's many AU's. And we don't bite...honest...unless you want us to...:halogrin

Basically, what happened was Califiore designed her with a tail....McKone didn't draw a tail in the first few issues...then Califiore did draw the tail....The McKone didnt again...then Califiore didn't as well, then McKone did for soem reason. Then Henry came in and didnt draw a tail, and it was thought there was def no tail....but, we were wrong...

Personally..I hate the retractable tail idea...I'd rather they just ignored the mistake then make up a lame excuxe.....but thats just the Nocturne lover in me...

it does seem kind of stupid if you think about it. "Oops, we keep messing up this character design, so let's give a lousy excuse and hope to god it works."

God forbid that just ignore it and pick either no tail or tail.

Well they kind of stated it now right? So They have to ride with it I guess.

Why is the retractable tail "icky"? They are mutants.. it not as gros than bones growing through a girls skin or a digestive stytem made of slugs.

Morph is a shape-shifter. In the 616 reality he was named "Changeling" in the Exiles team, where Nocturne is , you can find him. He is white and utterly maleable. An X-men in his reality and a former avenger. The team Joker
