There are stars in the southern sky, southward as you go… And some of them loan their name out to the various superhumans of the multiverse. Welcome to Ten Things!
Whooshman-Bicarbonate Films, in conjunction with ‘An Amateur Comics Historian’ and Danish Astronomer Tycho Brahe, Presents:
TEN SUPER-STARS!
10) POLARIS
A multiple star consisting of a yellow supergiant and a smaller companion star, Polaris is also known as Alpha Ursa Minoris, and is commonly referred to as The North Star. Its position in Earth’s sky makes is a perfect fixed point for navigation purposes.
A mutant who has always been referential to the men in her life, Lorna Dane gets referred to as “Havok’s girlfriend”, “Iceman’s ex” or “Magneto’s daughter” far too often for my tastes. She briefly went by ‘Magnetrix’ to honor/mock her mutant Daddy, who has been retconned in and out of her life for story purposes over the decades, but has recently struck out on her own as the leader of a new iteration X-Factor.
