Finally a video that isn’t a short that actually explains who she is. This is the best video about her out there instantly.

Her origin is so weird it fits in perfectly with a Deadpool movie.

[@ZeroFox795]

I'm guessing that they will simplify her background and just make her a variant of Xavier from another universe. But I suppose we'll see.

[@AdiCool88]

@@ZeroFox795Nah I just seen the film, she legit mentions that she’s his twin and that they’ve been fighting since being in the womb.

What if Cassandra came from the Logan movie verse and she’s the reason why everything went to hell👀👀

[@godspeedrebirth]

She might be from this Wolverine’s universe

[@IronMikeDyson1979]

Nah logans universe was ruined because he was tricked by sinister into killing his friends I believe

[@hotlikelava276]

​@@IronMikeDyson1979 Could be two reasons-that, or Xavier's dementia. I favour the latter, because Logan would be more devastated if he murdered everyone he cared about. I think it's just Xavier's crippling mentality that gave way to the world's death.

[@markhenzel4637]

No, I rewatch the movie and mutants died because 1) Professor X had amnesia causing a tragedy, killing all his students and 2) human create a chemical in foods that surpress the mutants genes causing less mutants to be born

[@hotlikelava276]

@@markhenzel4637 He had Alzeihmers due to old age, and it's alluded to him killing some of his students, and that era's X-Men. This then was a final straw for the government to greenlight a cure in corn reserves to destroy mutant lineages. However, it is also noted that there are mutants still alive in the present day that are all apart of the Eden Protocol. This is also alluding to possibly another prominent figure in the X-Men mythos being it's figurehead. Maybe someone we have not seen in the films, or maybe an agency like Alpha Flight that, in the Days Of Future Past prequel, details that Alpha Flight was a resistance force against mutant oppression and the sentinel services. There is no basis on the latter services, but I assure you, it's maybe something to think about. We don't know if mutants are extinct, because it's also possible that they may have migrated to the island of either Genosha or Krakoa, as we do not know the situation of Magneto or his Brotherhood. Think about it-why would Logan want to purchase a Sunseeker? It's a boat that could take them to Genosha without having to let others discover the wheareabouts of the remaining mutant population.

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

If Cassandra Nova has this DNA taking or replicating ability or DNA manipulation or whatever it was, does that mean that she can go around and take DNA from everyone, specifically every mutant, and just have everyone's powers and become effectively a "god" ? Or say if he takes Franklin Richard's DNA as well ? Or magical beings ? Or can she do that with aliens or anyone else ? How dangerous could she become ?

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

I never get how telepathy or telekinesis and these other psyonic types of powers allow some to create a physical form and other things. It is like differing levels of telekinesis, like regular telekinesis to move things, and then matter manipulation, which is like telekinesis on steroids where one can change forms of matter and other things with telekinesis, and then finally there is reality warping like Franklin Richards or Beyonders how they can just think things ad it will become reality or rewrite time and space itself or change things or whatever. I don't like the concept of how beings like Cassandra Nova and Onslaught just make physical forms for themselves like they are reality warping when they aren't are that power gage. With Onslaught, if he had infiltrated Reed Richard's mind and took him over and used his reality warping power to make a physical body for himself, then that would make sense, but the way that he just is like that and manifest himself into existence in a physical form, I wasn't a fan of that. Along with Cassandra Nova, these characters have reality warping feats without being reality warpers (Onslaught was a reality warper when he absorbed Franklin Richard's powers, but I mean before he even had the powers of Franklin Richards and Nathaniel Summers and others that he has absorbed, because he was just a psyonic being having the powers of Charles Xavier and Magnito and he was still able to manifest himself a physical body). I would like it better if these characters were just called reality warpers and left it at that, which is why they can do anything.

[@jendaar]

Crazy theory but check this. The last episode of this season (or maybe next. Closer to DP/Wolvie) of X-Men 97 Cassandra Nova is revealed as the big bad. They beat her and in the post credits the TVA show up with Paradox and send her to the Void. Sometime before the events of DP/Wolverine.

[@iankane1733]

I was thinking the same thing. 97 has eerily similar events happening that would suggest Cassandra Nova. Also 97 is going to end before the release of DP/Wolverine. Seems very convenient. Huge miss if they don’t connect.

[@seaberry11]

X-Men 97 is a continuation of the 92 animated series. You don’t have to watch it (even though you should because it’s awesome) to watch Deadpool. Everything is tied together because of the multiverse in Marvel now, including the comics but…the different universes aren’t tied together story wise.

[@DCGX]

I'm guessing this Cassandra is one of two things: 1) She's from this Wolverine's universe (which might or might not be the animated universe) and is responsible for killing all the mutants, which wasn't suppose to happen so she was pruned, or 2) she's a variant of Professor X that shouldn't exist, and was also pruned. Either way, she's too strong to just die and too smart to die in the Void.
