In order to save the future, the Formerly-Dead X-Men (with the help of Rachel Summers) drag Cyborg-Moira back to her timeline. Rachel Summers and Cyborg-Moira have a psychic chat. By now Rachel knows of Xavier's plan to kill young Moira so she's done wasting time on Cyborg-Moira. Rachel throws her and the team back to Moira Engine Life 2.4 timeline where Abigail Brand and the AU Starjammers are in the post-apocalyptic future.

As soon as they land in the timeline, Cyborg-Moira and the Formerly-Dead X-Men fight, Dazzler takes a deathly blow while trying to protect Prodigy from Cyborg-Moira's scythe. While the Formerly-Dead X-Men and Cyborg-Moira are fighting, they did not notice Orbis Stellaris is hovering above them. Orbis spots Prodigy and uses his energy-like tentacles to reach for the M'kraan crystal shard in Prodigy's chest. Frenzy, Cannonball and Jubilee are engaged in a battle with Cyborg-Moira when the Starjammers ship comes in. Dazzler opens her eyes and gets up to shoot Cyborg-Moira with her laser. Dazzler explains to her teammates that her "immortality" has limits. According to Dazzler, she could revive herself from her flesh wound (as long as her entire body is not affected) but she cannot revive when she was smashed to the pulp by Nimrod. To resurrect herself, Dazzler has to take in the sound/sonic energy around her to make her recover. Meanwhile, Orbis Stellaris takes the M'Kraan Crystal shard from Prodigy's chest and throws him to the ground where Frenzy catches him just in time. The Formerly-Dead X-Men teleport themselves back to their original timeline while Orbis Stellaris tries to ascend to Dominionhood only to find there's a Dominion already there blocking him. As for Cyborg-Moira, she is finally killed by the AU Juggernaut who avenges the deaths of his friends.

Dead X-Men #4, 2024

Thinkin about how the way that the Guthrie siblings even as adults still refer to their father as “Daddy” while we see them switch to just “Ma” or “Mom” for Lucinda so heavily mirrors the way that the people in my holler were taught to refer to their parents.

I’ve known dozens of people well into their nineties who referred to their fathers as “daddy” and their mothers as “Ma” or “mother.” A lot of my classmates with family from the holler still refer to their parents like that even with the cultural diffusion of the internet and outsiders moving in and changing how we speak.

There’s an undercurrent as my grandfather used to say that “fathers are there to be loved for however long you have them and mothers feared.” And he was right, for a lot of our history, there was no guarantee that you got to keep your daddy, that the mines, the mill, the machinery, or the union busters wouldn’t take him from you. That’s why mothers are in charge of the household and why women are the keepers of tradition.

I wonder then, how Sam feels having a son who will call him “Daddy.” How will he feel if his son then, later, calls him “Dad”?

We need a Starjammers book with this cast

In Dead X-Men in the AU Sam's son grows up to be Smasher and that makes me so emotional. This poor kid was doomed before he was even born. Serving the imperial army

Do you ever think about how Cannonball is the only member of the X-Men named after a weapon? Because I think about that a lot.

Day 15 - Sam Guthrie (Cannonball)

“They hate us… So that makes it much easier for us ta hate THEM, doesn’t it?”
