I think it is from the recent X-men unlimited story which no one read on Cinemaphile since it is never ripped, where the Krakoan langued becomes viral and started killing people so just MGSV.
I have not read it but somehow the Krakoan lanquege has become sentient and is possessing mutants who speaks it and is trying to spread it itself but again I have not read the story since I don't have Marvel Unlimited.
Wait is the language literally killing people or are people getting murdered for speaking the language

It's a mutant whose power is being a language, he has to possess other people to exist which will hurt or kill the possessed one. Cypher solved the problem by getting possessed and using his power to translate and write him on paper, as a recorded but unspoken language. Not really a good ending to be honest
>It's a mutant whose power is being a language
This is the stupidest fricking thing I've learned all year. How in the hell does a genetic mutation cause you to become a sequence of air vibrations that sentient beings have assigned meaning to?
Yes because before it was at least somewhat believable within the rules of the universe. Mutations are now indistinguishable from literal fairy tale magic. It used to be that your body changed but you were still a physical being.
Now the X gene causes carbon matter to change into a metaphysical concept.

It just seems so dumb to me that this is your line in the sand. What about Cypher himself anon? His mutation is also all about constructs created by sentient beings, or at least it was originally.

It sounds like a plot that would only work in a Super Sentai.
>It's a mutant whose power is being a language
...what...
the X-office fricking loves its esoteric mutant ability right now.
I think that anon means that usually mutants are at least some kind of being or humanoid consciousness. Mutating to become a language is like someone mutating to become happiness, or mutating to become any abstract concept. It's fricking weird.
This is fricking nothing compared to having an actual mathematical formula be a green lantern
To be fair, that thing never actually appeared in any story, probably because nobody know what to do with it. It's just trivia and nothing more.
And its backstory makes marginally more sense than a human mutating into a living abstract concept.
>Speaking a language that was used to order genocides is suspiciously close to approving the genocide.
Marvel Comics, a subsidiary of Disney Corp. This also ignores the fact that Goethe's German isn't Hitler's German which isn't modern German and yhe same goes for every other language.

I genuinely do not see the difference between "genetic mutation that turns you into a metaphysical concept" and "genetic mutation that gives you control over the electromagnetic spectrum" or "genetic mutation that lets you steal the powers granted by other genetic mutations"
It's all silly bullshit
Even silly bullshit needs to have some rules and limitations, otherwise it's a Calvinball story. Who cares about the heroes if they can pull out an anti-death spray when they get turned into a corpse?
Yeah Batman had the shark spray in the 60s series, but it was supposed to be campy.
The X-Men are supposedly a commentary on bigotry against minorities. Last time I checked, you don't put silly powers in a story you want to be taken seriously.
>Last time I checked, you don't put silly powers in a story you want to be taken seriously.
Better just pack up the x-men completely then because it's all silly fricking powers
>Serious story about plane crash survivors resorting to cannibalism to stay alive featuring a misplaced joke about someone having bad taste >Abbott & Costello being chased by cannibals around an island because A & C said they have "a refined taste"
These are the same to you?
Explain how, because if your standard is "if it's silly it's fine" then someone could just mutate to become the literal sun or a sentient thought that makes you dislike cyclops and you'd think it's just the same as "guy who shoots lasers from his eyes"

It's not about realism you silly billy, it's about X-Men ostensibly being about the struggles of oppressed minorities as actual characters.
X-Men has already kind of struggled with this metaphor because "sometimes powers are incredibly, disproportionately sucky" is a common element. I think that telling a kid whose sole power is that he smells intolerable or that his physical form no longer exists implying that he'll probably be permanently alienated from the rest of humanity that his power is an incontrovertible part of his identity is cultish bullshit, but even aside from that, a character like that seems more like whimsical fluff than someone who would be written as a three-dimensional character. Like, "as a mutant you can be anything, even an idea!" But nobody's going to make a book with an idea as the central focus character.
Kind of hard to ignore when the current plotline is about the X-Men forming a breakaway state formed upon racial divides where you can only be a citizen if you're part of their ethnic group.
I guess it is a bit weird to use shitty x-men as a symbol for oppressed minorities? Isn't that kind of like saying 'hey, actually, sometimes it is bad to be black? Sometimes, you're objectively worse than normal people.'
Although I suppose a message of 'love yourself despite your horrific disabilities, like being a minority' isn't terrible either.
There's a useful parallel in actual real life disability communities. Obviously there are people that object to the term "disabled," but there are people that take it to the degree that if you are something like blind, deaf, something like that, it's frowned on to seek a treatment for it, because "There's nothing wrong with you."
To me, that's bullshit. Especially if someone has lost options that they formerly had, that should be their call if they want to pursue what they had. "There's nothing wrong with you, :)" says the gorgeous mutant with godlike superpowers to the walking talking tumor with no especially powerful abilities or prospects.

This sounds a lot like "you know who else drank water? Hitler!" but I'm not sure it's trying to make the same point.

Is this a serious question? About an X-men character?
Yes because before it was at least somewhat believable within the rules of the universe. Mutations are now indistinguishable from literal fairy tale magic. It used to be that your body changed but you were still a physical being.

I could work in a snow crash, MGCV kind of way, where language is information.
This is fricking nothing compared to having an actual mathematical formula be a green lantern
was that from Morrison's GL run?
No, it's one of Alan Moore's. From the long long ago. The Before Time.
A planet and then a mathematical formula. He was just taking the piss out of DC but nobody ever noticed.
To be fair, that thing never actually appeared in any story, probably because nobody know what to do with it. It's just trivia and nothing more.
And its backstory makes marginally more sense than a human mutating into a living abstract concept.

This sounds an awful lot like somebody played Metal Gear Solid V and stole one of the main plot points.
the conceit of language is a virus that spreads was a popular theory in the 80's and 90's
I can see that resemblance, but it also makes me think of Sublime. You know, the evil microbe that's the reason mutants are hated and feared?
Why does X-Men Unlimited have such weird fricking stories?
What the hell is he even trying to say?
OK but what are they trying to do?

I'm not sure how you can't. One is mutating to have the ability to do something weird or abstract, one is becoming something abstract.
Again, I see no difference.

Thos reeks of "I'm 12 and this is deep" like they might as well say that everyone who did a bad thing drank water and breathed air.

Um, ackshually, this is a perfectly legitimate mutation that could happen in real life it's called camouflage

Bookbag never got the respect he deserved, but it's nice that artists keep putting him as an easter egg in group shots.
I don't even give a shit what kind of point you're trying to make. Talking like that automatically makes you a homosexual, and therefore wrong.
