It's official: the enigmatic mutant villain Cassandra Nova will be one of the antagonists of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deadpool and Wolverine, with actor Emma Corrin appearing several times in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the movie's trailers in scenes that hint at a connection to the 𓃲character's comic book his🏅tory.

And while we can't yet say for certain just how Cassandra Nova will factor into Dead🐻pool & Wolverine, we can look at her surprising comic book roots to get an idea of who🉐 she is and what her relationship is to the X-Men.

Cassandra Nova debuted in 2001's New X-Men #114 by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:writer Grant Morrison and artistꦇ Frank Quitely - and her introduction a♕nd origin came as something of a shock to readers.

There are some big, weird comic book concepts at play in Cassandr🅺a's origin, but the TL:DR is that she is Charles Xavier's evil psychic duplicate, known in the Marvel Universe as a 'mummudrai', a term used for certain denizens of the Astral Plane.

Essentially, Cassandra Nova was a psychic entity from the Astral Plane who latched onto Charles Xavier in the womb thanks to his already burgeoning psionic abilities. Unlike most mummudrai, C⛄assandra's connection to Charles Xavier allowed her to leave the Astral Plane and form a physical body. But sensing her presence, Xavier attempted to expel her from the womb

Because of the c🌌ircumstances of her unlikely 'birth,' which left her helple🍎ss and abandoned, Cassandra Nova came to hate Charles Xavier, deciding it would be her life's goal to become strong enough to destroy him - and all other mutants.

Got all that?

After finally forming a body, Cassandra🌄 activates a hidden ca🌞che of Sentinels which she has discovered, dispatching them to the mutant island nation of Genosha, where they massacre 16 million mutants in a horrific act of genocide. 

Meanwhile, Cassandra herself is captured by the X-Men and taken back to Xavier's School, whereไ she begins using her own considerable psychic abilities to wreak havoc until she wa♊s subdued and placed in psionic captivity through the combined mutant abilities of Jean Grey, Emma Frost, and Xavier himself.

Cassandra goes on to 🍒🍌escape, clashing with the X-Men several more times until Jean Grey uses her telepathic abilities to show Cassandra the massive weight of the suffering her actions have caused, promising to help her reform.

This leads Cassandra to eventually move to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:mutant island of Krakoa, where she joins the Marauders, Krakoa's navy, 🌊under the command of Captain Kate Pryde. But Cassandra's true colors shine through once again, and the rest of the Marauders wind up stranding her 2 billion years in the past - and that's the last place she was seen.

It's hard to say how much of that history might come into play in Deadpool & Wolverine, especially the really weird bits. But Cassandra Nova being the film's villain could certainly lend itself to a story in which all of mutantkind is t🐻hreatened, and their history and place in the multiverse possibly rewritten.
