Speed Force doesn't exist in the MU?

You got it!

And on the other hand, Scarlet Witch became way more powerful because she could tap into the chaos magic of the DCU

Bump Paladin

Who shot Storm with a weapon that seemingly permanently took her powers? And who was the intended target?

I was going to say Forge but then remembered he made the weapon but didn't fire it. Was it that persistent anti-everybody Henry Gyrich? I know the second part anyway, they were firing at Rogue. I really enjoyed that period of the X-Men. Good stories.

was it Nanny and the Oprhan Maker?

Yes and yes. Rogue was wrongly accused of killing a SHIELD agent. Storm heroically got between the blast and Rogue.

That period of the X-Men was when I started reading the book and became a fan!

Back to you, stile!

Why is Danielle Moonstar shocked at the vision she pulls from the mind of an old family friend/enemy?

did it reveal something about her family?

Not about her family.

Is it of the Demon Bear?

Did it reveal a traitor?

No not the Demon Bear
No, quite the opposite

Did it reveal Karma's survival?

Ooh good guess!

Great guess but no. This is one of those trivia questions that either need you to have read the issue or guess in a more general way. You might have better luck if you stop thinking about other tales in continuity and think just of my initial description. The person in question was an old family friend of Danielle but in more recent years they argued whenever they were together.

It revealed something about this friend's identity?

No not their identity. Sorry I didn't think this would be so obscure. Apparently this character only appeared in one issue despite being protrayed as a long term acquaintance. One last hint for guesses. Danielle had known this male person quite well as she lived with his family after her parents were apparently killed. In spite of this (or perhaps because of it) Danielle did not find their "friendship" positive but rather antagonistic. It is in this context that she is shocked by the image she draws from his mind.

Hmmm perhaps Danielle found out that this male person was actually quite nice, warm, kind and friendly towards her?

Kind of. OK, here's the story.

Danielle is visiting her parents and her hometown not long after adopting/being adopted by the Asgardian winged horse Brightwind and henc ebecoming a valkyrie. In town she bumps into Pat Roberts who is quite verbally abusive and insulting to her. While they are arguing she gets a vision of Death hanging over Pat and runs off. Pat drives off upset as well but crashes his car due to a blizzard. Danielle picks up his static filled radio call for help and takes Brightwind to help him. She pulls him from the wreck but he is badly injured and they take shelter in a cave. She is then seemingly attacked by Pat but realises it is a vision pulled from his mind which is immediately followed by a vision of the two of them getting married. She is shocked by the two visions and asks Pat about them. Pat, who also saw the visions, is also shocked but admits that he can't understand his own feelings, being torn between the two extremes. Turns out he has been harbouring anger towards her for abandoning his family when she left to join Xavier. Then another vision appears but this time it is Death again come to claim Pat. Danielle fights off Death and has a reconciliation with Pat except that turns out to be a vision as well since Pat is now unconscious. Hours later they are at the hospital where Danielle talks to an old Native American who again turns out to be Death. Death compliments her on her courage and determination but points out that sometimes Death is a release. Pat was a diabetic who lost his inulin supply in the crash and is now in a coma from which he will never awake. Danielle submits to Death and lets Pat go. The issue finishes with her explaining it all to her parents and being comforted by them. I found it a very thoughtful story years ago and it stuck in my mind so I thought it was more well known.

Let's try something else.

Which character is tricked/abducted to another dimension during a fight with the Hellfire Club?

Magik/Illyana Rasputin?

this sounds right!

nice summary re Pat Roberts, stile. Does sound like a very thoughtful story.

Not Illyana. While she was tricked/abducted to another dimension this happened while the X-Men were just doing their normal training. The incident I am thinking of happened a few years later our time.

A couple more clues. The character in question was the cause of the fight between the X-Men and the Hellfire Club. Oh and Nimrod was there as well.

Rachel Summers?

Trevor Fitzroy?
