Hyperion chose to stay and try to rule the world. him dying wasn't part of my example. on two different worlds, his plan was to stay and purposely NOT complete the mission and therefore not advance on to the next reality. the first one, it got completed despite his wishes. all the X-Men died, so they moved on. the second one his plan was brought to an abrupt and more permanent halt with his death. a loophole, but playing within the rules. they can't advance to the next reality until the one they are in is fixed, so he just chose to delay that. Sabretooth did the same thing, basically. Blink had no reality to go back to so she went to the only other surviving person from that dead reality (well, that she had a connection to, so not Sugar Man, Dark Beast or Holocaust...). it's outlined in perfectly clear terms in the first arc of Exiles how exactly this is all supposed to work, and this doesn't fit at all. Hyperion, Thunderbird and Sabretooth all worked within the established rules, this doesn't, mostly because of Beak.Originally posted by SmoothBamf
how can you disagree with me in your post you list 2 deferent ways that "under certain circumstaces"characters have lefet the group without dying or going home 3 if you want to censored slur the TJ fiasco
I agree that ssabretooth convinced the time broker that there was a different way to fix that world so I ges it was by choice but blink went there to when she got sent "home"
I don't know what choice Hyperion made but in my iss #45 he dies and it dosn't look like his chois to get stabbed in the back by gambit with a kineticly charged sole sword
now I shall address the TJ problem first I think your being to literal with the rules because based on your theory (that TJ's realty would not get fixed because she is in the 616 realty) all the characters that dyed would not get there realtys fixed either and the 616 folks jump around realtys so often whos ta say that she can't go there and fix it her self
i looked it up and i was *slightly* off, but the part i was off about only fucks things up more... the dead members would eventually get their realities fixed, as it is not up to them as INDIVIDUALS to fix their home reality, it simply gets fixed as they complete missions as a team. so yeah, this means TJ's reality will be fixed, but now she can't help? she will never know if it has been done? that's the problem, the events that make them exiles (and why Beak totally breaks the rules) is that events in realities besides their own have caused a chain reaction that caused events in their PAST to change to the point where they are plucked into Exilehood. Mystique kills Kurt. so if she dies now, without her reality being fixed, she goes back to a reality where he's ALREADY dead. no way to prevent it.
she can't fix her reality because 'fixing' it does not involve changing the event that will occur as a result of not fixing it, (if that makes sense...) nor does it necessarily happen in that reality, as has been explained many times over in the series. without the Tallus, she would not know what to fix, or which reality it was in.
here's the rules as set out in Exiles. direct quote (after the Timebroker tells them all of the awful fates that await them should the realities notbe fixed)
"The lives you lived have been rewritten. But you now have an opportunity to change them back.
You will have to repair the breaks in the chain of time that caused these ripples.
The breaks are incidents in different realities and while not appearing to directly affect you, I assure you they do.
You will be realigning the dominoes so they won't fall on top of you. In turn, you will get your lives back.
If successful, you'll return to the exactly when you left, unaged and unchanged.
But the dangers are real. you can be injured, you can die. And you can fail. -- Which would return you to these unfortunate new existances."
