That's because for many years - well, from her introduction in 1964 to 2016 - Wanda thought she was a mutant. Not only that, but from 1983 to 2015, she thought she was Magneto's daughter ... and so did he! But that was temporary It turns out that when the Fantastic Four and X-Men were the cinematic property of Twentieth Century Fox, those characters found themselves being minimised in the comics. And characters like Wanda and her brother Pietro were de-inutantised so they could be used by Marvel Studios, Scarlet Witch #11 (2016) estab­ lished that the two were never The Five - comprising (from left) Tempus, Proteus, Hope Summers, Magneto's children, but instead Elixir, and Egg - was formed with the goal to resurrect all fallen mutants gained superpowers from genetic in a process called "transcendent". tinkering by Marvel baddie rhe High Evolutionary.

While it is obvious. that these comic books can be used in the classroom as a source of reading material, it is tot so obvious that these comic books, with great economy, simplicity, and narrative density, can be used to further introduce novice readers to the techniques found in narrative and to the terms employed in the study and discussion of a narrative. The output of the Marvel Conics Group in particular is literate, is both narratively and pbSlosophically sophisticated, and is ethically and morally responsible. Some of the narrative tecbntques found in the stories, such as the Spider-Man episodes, include foreshadowing, a dramatic fiction narrator, flashback, irony, symbolism, metaphor, Biblical and historical allusions, and mythological allusions.4MKM1 4 4 *********************************************************************** * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * * from the original document. * *********************************************************************** ) U SOEPANTMENTO, HEALD..

    Revista Sans Soleil Estudios de la imagen Hijos del átomo: la mutación como génesis del monstruo contemporáneo. El caso de Hulk y los X-Men en Marvel Comics José Joaquín Rodríguez Moreno* University of Washington RESUMEN La Era Atómica engendró un nuevo tipo de monstruo, el mutante. Esta criatura fue explotada en las historias de ciencia ficción y consumida principalmente por una audiencia adolescente, pero fue más que un simple monstruo. A través de un análisis detenido, el mutante puede mostrarnos los miedos y las expectativas que despertaba en su público. Para lograr eso, necesitamos conocer el modo en que estas historias eran creadas, cuál fue su contexto histórico y qué temas desarrollaron los autores. Este trabajo estudia dos casos concretos producidos en Marvel Comics durante los primeros años sesenta: Hulk y los X-Men, gracias a los cuales sabremos más sobre el tiempo y la sociedad en que fueron producidos. PALABRAS CLAVE: Monstruo, Mutante, Era Atómica, Cómics, Estudios culturales. ABSTRACT: The Atomic Age spawned a new monster type – the mutant. This creature was exploited in science fiction narratives and mostly consumed by a teenage audience, but it was more than a mere monster. Through an inquisitive analysis we can learn about the nightmares and hopes that mutants represented for its audience. In order to do it, we need to learn how these narratives were created, what was its historical context and what topics were portrayed by the authors. We are studying two concrete cases from Marvel Comics in the early 60s – Hulk and the X-Men, which will show us more about their time and society.
