Talk:Silhouette (comics)

Mutate or mutant?
The page is in Category: Marvel comics mutates, but it says Silhouette and her brother are mutants. The page on Midnight's Fire says they're mutates. I don't know which is right; they were born with their abilities, but they didn't get them from the "X-gene", which seems to be the definition of Marvel mutants. 86.171.55.37 (talk) 16:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

I edited out a comment about Silhouette having the ability to sheathe herself in darkforce which negated her need for crutches. This is not the case. Silhouette was once controlled by a super villain named Darkling who coated various people in a liquid darkforce, anyone immersed in this stuff would then be puppets who Darkling could control (their minds were awake but he controlled their bodies). Silhouette was able to walk while under the mind control but only then and never afterwards. Silhouette doesn't have the ability to use the darkforce in the same manner. She melts into shadows.

Silhouette has not been since seen Night Thrasher #15 as far as I know. She didn't have the power then so she shouldn't have it now that she has been in obscurity for over a decade. Silhouette's powers advanced near the end of her time with the Warriors but they have not advanced to the point where they allow her to walk without the need of crutches. ksofen666


 * I edited out a comment about Silhouette and Midnight's Fire being the only "mystical mutants" on the Folding Circle team. If they fall under the "mystical mutant" category then so do Bloodstrike, Silk Fever and Smiling Tiger. The team members have mutant powers because their mothers were members of the Dragon's Breadth cult and were exposed to the well (revealed much later in Thunderbolts to be one of many wells that empower superhumans on the planet).


 * The only members of the team who would not qualify as "mystical mutants" is the Left Hand (who stole his powers from his mutant daughter through mystic means) and Night Thrasher. Yet Night Thrasher supposedly has a mutant gene relating to psionic deflection or some such according to Genecide. --Ksofen666


 * Sounds good to me. --Basique 14:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
