Who is Cassandra Nova? A question making the rounds thanks to some Marvel Comics adaptations using this dark X-Men villain. From X-Men '97 to Deadpool & Wolverine just who is she? Why does she look like a female Charles Xavier (Professor X)? Cassandra Nova has ties to the early 2000s and Grant Morrison's New X-Men run. We discuss her origins here on Casually Comics!

Who Is The Scariest X-Men Villain?

@Natakupl 2 years ago

Charles has so much going on. Evil step brother, evil step father, evil shadow twin, evil shadow self, rivalry with the shadow king, rivalry with magneto. Sort out your life chuck.

Deadpool can’t stop fighting Xavier’s siblings.

Sasha has a Master's in Grant Morrison Studies.

I feel replacing a wig with a bald cap would have been thematically appropriate for this video.

Poor Cassandra, she was so alone she literally had... No body... 😃

I forgot that this arc also includes the absolutely bonkers story of Xorn. He's the skull guy in some of the panels shown and he's either Magneto pretending to be a 30-something Chinese man, or a 30-something Chinese man with a burning star for a head pretending to be Magneto. Not sure which is worse.

I just realized that they might be making Cassandra Nova look younger to be the evil twin of the Days of Future Past/Young Charles

Does Onslaught know that Charles has ANOTHER omnipotent evil psychic double ???

Hickman recreated the Emma × Jean Collab without dialogue in Giant Sized X-Men!

She scares me more than Onslught, Mr. Sinister, Apocalypse, Magneto. She is up there with Bastion., the Brood, and the Phalanx.

That first three-parter was nuts! It was noticeable because of Emma being front and center with the core team. Secondary mutations! Wild sentinels!
And that unapologetically genocidal Cassandra! Nuts!
All that and movie-similar uniforms too.
What a ride.

I think if somebody told grant morrison about the idea of Tulpas, it would have saved a bit of faffing about

@clashcitywannabe 2 years ago

It has always bothered me that Morrison never made the connection of having Cassandra Nova and Sublime being the same type of being. It would have made so much sense. IT WAS RIGHT THERE GRANT.

"She plans in advance", yes, Beast, that is, y'know, how plans work.

@Dougeb7 2 years ago

I hadn't heard of CN until your last vid. She looks a little like Golem in those later panels. Yikes! The pith helmet in the earlier panels is a nice touch. She's on a mutant-hunting safari.

Emma Corrin playing Cassandra Nova is the latest salvo in the war on crones.

@jameljenks2584 2 years ago

I like Cassandra and like the fact she is used sparingly. It keeps the mystique fresh. I find the mummardri interesting in general. The hecatomb is horrifying and Cassandra even more so

@kemmdog4444 2 years ago

Your sound effects just crack me up.

I really enjoyed Cassandra during Morrison's original run, and really like her design and personality. The idea of Xavier having an evil opposite (bio-twin or not) is interesting. I like that she's a ferocious (and seriously threatening) older bald woman, when almost every other female in comics is a bikini model.
