Kamala Khan & Sophie Cuckoo Can Shape Each Other Into The New Heroes The X-Men Need
How Different They Are Is An Asset
Both mutant heroes have a mountain to learn from each other ; the austere Sophie is about as dissimilar as imaginable from the irritable Kamala , but that ’s why they ’ll be interesting friends and foils .
As Jackson Lanzing mentioned , Sophie Cuckoo was right at the core of mutant culture ; she ’s never known a time she was n’t a mutant . This is in demarcation to Kamala , who never get a chance to watch about being a sport in a time of peacefulness . At the same clip , Sophie never give herself the chance to be an individual apart from her sistership or the X - Men , which Lanzing noted will be fundamental to her persona inNYX . As he explained :
So in part , it ’s that there ’s been some indications over prison term that of them , she ’s the one who has the most interest in being a hero , or in being superheroic , in general . I reckon that ’s really interesting because we were going to be putting her in a human relationship with Kamala , where they were both pop off to be learning material from one another . This is very much about their friendship kick off and Sophie kind of understanding why Kamala is coolheaded . And Kamala kind of agreement why Sophie ’s nerveless and the two of them finding some form of home within each other . I felt like Sophie fit best . Of all the Cuckoos , she feel like the one with the least integral dark . She felt like the one with the least need to stay and be a drawing card among them . She felt like the one who was kind of ready to take a step out and see beyond that .
In all , the dynamicbetween Kamala Khan and Sophie Cuckoo is jell to be at the heart ofNYX .
Both mutant heroes have a destiny to learn from each other ; the austere Sophie is about as unlike as conceivable from the excitable Kamala , but that ’s why they ’ll be interesting friends and foils .
