Another instance of Destiny's telepathy?[edit]

In Dazzler #23, Destiny claims to be able to "read Rogue's thoughts." Is this some fluke occurrence, or perhaps a manifestation of Destiny's latent telepathic abilities (alluded to in the main body of the article) made stronger due to her connection to Rogue, or perhaps she was not speaking in a literal sense, but simply knowing Rogue as she did, she anticipated how Rogue would feel about Mystique's decision to leave Dazzler alone.

Here is a link to Dazzler #23, when Destiny makes this statement in a thought balloon: https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Dazzler-1981/Issue-23?id=45202#9

It occurs to me that if Destiny could read Rogue's thoughts, she must have been an extraordinarily powerful telepath. Not even Professor X could penetrate the interference created by Rogue's dual personality -- her own and the one she appropriated from Carol Danvers. 2603:9000:8D00:A000:8838:EAC0:759E:ACA2 (talk) 22:24, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not all male[edit]

Despite the claims of the first paragraph, NOT all of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants were male. Rogue, who first appeared in Avengers Annual #10, their daughter, was female. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.38.200 (talk) 02:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but Rogue was not present during the first appearance of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Prior to Avengers Annual 10, the other members were indeed all male. 2603:9000:8D00:A000:8838:EAC0:759E:ACA2 (talk) 22:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other Irene Adlers[edit]

Irene Adler is also the name of the antagonist of the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia." Does anyone know if there's a connection? Sgt.widget 06:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Sgt.Widget[reply]

The article for the character in question (Irene Adler) states that Destiny was hinted in the comics to be either the same person, or the inspiration for the Doyle character; and I remember seeing that in the comics. I wonder why this isn't mentioned in this page? -- Lalo Martins (talk) 04:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Destiny's Death[edit]

Someone had asked in what issue showed her death. I don't recall the issue number, but I think it had something to do with Freedom Force going to Muir Island to liberate it from the Reavers? Would have been early 90s, circa #255...? In reality, the Shadow King was taking over the Island, and I think he just wanted more and more people to turn into slaves. Destiny reminded Mystique that her death was inevitable, and was killed shortly thereafter. 204.153.84.10 19:13, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, I was mostly right. From this page [1]:

"During this stint her team was sent to Muir Island and were confronted by the Reavers, who killed her teammates Stonewall. During the battle she charged Forge with the duty of protecting Destiny. Forge managed to protect her until she convinced him that Mystique needed more help. After Forge left to help Mystique, Destiny was slain by a mind controlled Legion. After the battle with the Reavers Mystique discovered Destiny dead and swore vengeance on Forge for her death." 204.153.84.10 19:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man, I'm good! It was exactly #255, which came out in 1989. See List of dead comic book characters#Marvel Comics

Fair use rationale for Image:Destiny1.jpg[edit]

Image:Destiny1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Bisexual?[edit]

Is there any compelling source stating that Destiny is bisexual? Her only lover in the comics, as far as I know, is Mystique. Twin Bird (talk) 03:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appearance in Exiles[edit]

There was an Exiles storyline which she appeared in (the one with the Magneto+Professor X-copying Mimic). Could somebody do the research and put it in?79.182.34.112 (talk) 22:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Publication History!?[edit]

This article is missing the character's publication history, it should be added to the article so that it has some scope instead of just information on the character's fictional biography.--Paleface Jack (talk) 15:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
