Talk:X-Men: The 198

List of the 198
Should their powers be listed? Just to get an idea of why they are ranked like this? Is there somewhere online that this article can link to with the complete files? --Torourkeus 21:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Who counted?
Who decided there are only 198 mutants? I mean, what superduded or government agency counted all of them? Does Namor count?--Chris Griswold 05:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have no idea, but it's the number given. *shrug* Runa27 20:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Runaways reference?
Just so you know, the following post is going to be slightly spoilery for Runaways, so you were warned!

Runaways (in one of the chapters that were collected in the TPB Escape to New York, IIRC) seems to reference some of the events in this series, as after Wolverine gets punched by Molly, he says "198 mutants left, and she's gotta be one of 'em...". (On a sidenote: I have to assume that, regardless of how accurate the count actually is or is not, Molly would have already been counted as one of the remaining mutants, i.e. one of the supposed "198", since she was at one point sent to a home for mutant children by Social Services, which means the gov't knows she exists and is a mutant, obviously). I don't see this noted here, which is surprising, given the popularity of Runaways (and given the otherwise standalone nature of the Runaways series, it's also notable, since it tells you which Marvelverse timeline Runaways takes place in). Should we start a small trivia section and include that? Runa27 20:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No trivia section, please. I believe Molly Hayes is listed in the uncited list in the Decimation article. Oh, and there's actually at least a million mutants left.--Chris Griswold (  ☏  )  09:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Plot
I removed a paragraph from the Plot section which was about Civil War and had nothing to do with 198. It still needs to actually describe the plot in 198 (Mercator, John D, etc). Saziel t c 11:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I have a seperate issue with the plot summary: is 'formed' the right adjective for O*N*E*? I mean, isn't it implied that they existed pre House of M, but had been dormant? Scanna 13:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
