Luna Maximoff - Blog Posts

Hey, I am so sorry that my post for The Ones Who Hurt is taking so long! I'm working on another project right now, and I'm really trying to balance the two, but idk how well of a job I'm doing 😂

I'll try to post who won in a week or two, thank you for the patience 🙏 in the meantime, I'll share a snippet of what I'm currently working on 🤫

Obviously this isn’t going to happen for multiple reasons but if Kamala’s being resurrected as a mutant-inhuman hybrid I would love to see some interaction between her and Luna. If Luna was still one herself.

Luna should be/have been a reserve member of the champions. She can’t be much younger than Pinpoint. Idk I just want to see the baby

Luna and Kamala's situations read very differently, but I think you could fudge the details enough to make them line up nicely.

As I recall, the original concept for Luna was that her mutant and inhuman genes actually cancelled each other out, and left her as just a normal human. Later, she did undergo an unregulated, abnormal form of terrigenesis which unlocked her latent Inhuman powers. Kamala, also underwent spontaneous, unregulated terrigenesis-- and this, allegedly, gave her Inhuman powers at the expense of suppressing her X-gene. When you frame it this way, Luna does provide a nice precedent for Kamala's case, which would be helpful for writers to make this new mutant retcon feel less forced.

Unfortunately, none of that is applicable to canon any more because Luna's dad was, allegedly, never a mutant, and Luna, allegedly, never had an X-gene in the first place. I don't think she and Kamala have ever met, which is too bad-- Kamala did used to spend a lot of time with the Inhumans, so they easily could have crossed paths. It would be nice to for Luna to have a relationship with an older Inhuman girl who's out in the world, doing her own thing, and being a hero-- it would be a nice, organic way to set Luna to grow into a superhero role, if anybody wanted to take her in that direction.

Luna's age continues to be a source of confusion and frustration. She's definitely, canonically, a teenager at this point, but it's hard to place her age in relation to other characters. I'm not sure if she has any direct peers-- characters who were born right around the same time as her-- other than her cousins, who have all been aged up supernaturally. She doesn't get usually get to spend much time around other kids, so she's not really part of a "generation," the way X-Men characters are, for example.

It doesn't matter-- I would guess, based on her most recent appearances, that she's between 13 and 15, which is old enough by Marvel standards to be an active super-person with a costume and codename. Lots of characters start out at that age, for better or for worse-- Cassie Lang was only 14 at the start of Young Avengers.

#Teddy is 20 even though the avengers were present at around the time he was conceived and the avengers have existed for less than 16 years.#do skrull age fast. did the recent time travel story give him some time to grow up more some when. we just don’t know#I do want to know how old Luna is though#she was stated to be six around civil war time. that makes her 12 now#they grow up. painfully slowly#wait the young avengers who are 20 now were 16 then. she might only be ten#okay and this was all before civil war. I hate it here#marvel#comics [tags @meanstiel​ on this post]

I tried my best to break down Luna’s age progression in this post last year, after realizing that she is paradoxically the oldest and youngest out of all her cousins. 

Luna was born first, Billy and Tommy were born second, and Ahura was born last. The boys have all been aged up supernaturally, which allowed writers to refurbish the characters as adolescents and teens. It totally breaks the timeline, but that’s the point. They’re all young adults now, but Luna has been left to age naturally, which means she was stuck as a little kid for a really, really long time.

That definitely holds Luna back as a character, but at least she fits into the timeline. Pietro and Crystal haven’t really aged since the 90s, so it still makes sense for their daughter to be super young. Nowadays, Luna only shows up once every few years, but she’s a little bit older every time. In Quicksilver: No Surrender (2018) she looks like a young teen.

And in Fantastic Four #32 (pub. 2021), Crystal says that Luna has “blossomed into a young woman.” Luna mostly appears out of frame, but I think she looks like a teenager here. Maybe 14-15? Hard to say. Anyhow, that’s her most recent appearance. 

Character ages never make sense, and that’s just something we have to accept, but the arbitrary timelines that writers will set around big events like Civil War or HoxPox really break things. How am I supposed to believe that the Avengers have been around for less than twenty years, and the X-Men have only been around for ten, when there are characters on both teams who have full grown children that were born and raised within those timeframes?! Some of those kids are timewarpy and weird, like Wanda’s sons, but some of them have had fully natural lives and are just way too old to have parents under thirty.

Don’t think about their age.

here's some picrews of Luna Maximoff <3 Some of them are meant to be more Inhuman Space Princess and others just more casual. Since I can't draw, this is as good as I can do (i can never decide if her hair should be blonde or white lol)

Bonus Franklin Richards picrews under the cut!

Casual Pietro Maximoff-Quicksilver hanging out with his darling daugther Luna. Commison done by the wonderful metalshell for me ^_^

The buttons are mine, they represent different moments in Quciskilver’s life. 

“Walk a little slower Daddy”

“Walk a little slower, Daddy!” said a little child so small. “I’m following in your footsteps and i don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they’re hard to see; So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up, you’re what i want to be. Then i will have a little child who’ll want to follow me.

And i would want to lead just right, and know that i was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for i must follow you!!”

The moon seems like such a lonely place to be with only the stars to keep you company

playing around with some luna vibes.

my interpretation of luna (maximoff) is like. empathy + psychic inhuman abilities. but i think it grows into more things as she ages — genuine precognition, astral projection. and as a teen her mutant abilities become unlocked. basically lunar - cosmic magic that would parallel wanda / billy. like wanda’s got chaos magic. luna has cosmic + lunar magic and has the potential for goddess-level powe. i think her hair also changes from blonde to white around the same time OR she keeps the blonde and has white bangs or smthin.

lots of godhood + girlhood themes.

We don’t know much about Luna, but I’m convinced she’s not above making fun of her dad.

Wanda Maximoff & Luna Maximoff.

I need more Aunty Wanda hanging out with Luna in my life, and if Marvel themselves won't deliver, I'll commission the wonderful @l1-b1 to depict them. I totally recommend checking out their art and getting some of your own! 🌹

MCU & X-MCU FANS DNI.

luna needs to be taken to the x offices ,she needs to get back on earth cause thats the only time writers actually do anything with/remember her and the inhumans are the black sheeps again being in god knows where in space, we need to free her!!! like the only in depth parent/child thing they do is with her and her father idk jack about how she is with crystal other than she seems more and more pissed off everytime we see her

If there is one thing to thank Steve Orlando for - it's for showing Luna gets the snark from her dad's side of the family 😂

For real though both of them were great this issue.

Hopefully we get more Luna in the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver series (and finally see Tommy and/or all the magnet siblings interact).

Marvel - please let Pietro wear blue again.

Father and daughter in Scarlet Witch Vol. 3 #09

Drew the girl for the first time in a while :3

Gonna snap one day and commission an artist to draw me the entire Magnet Family with Luna included in a royal House of M style portrait, because I am sick and tired of her being forgotten or treated as non important even though she's the first grandchild, and she has powers, and is so important to the family. STOP IGNORING HER MARVEL.

☆ / Luna Maximoff

Thank you to @mm-mina for doing this wonderful piece for me 💜 You are insanely talented and I'm so grateful.

Luna having white/silver hair like her father (& grandfather & cousin) is such a special headcanon to me. I think she would have made such a great Xavier's student if Marvel hadn't gone back on her being an InMutant and didn't keep her in un-aging child limbo. 😔 I'm glad she's getting more comic appearances either way.

girl dad

Is that sleeping girl supposed to be Luna?? It feels so random putting an unknown character in between Monet and Tommy, but it makes no sense for Luna to be in Budapest... Or am I just crazy and see a girl in pink with blonde hair and immediately assume it's my girl?

Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #1 (2024)

Fabulous take and absolutely what my dream direction would be for them both in the future

Luna Maximoff Marvel Future

So Luna is a pretty popular character, reaching most of the Marvel fan base thanks to the many connections she has, even though she doesn't get used that much. Marvel loves to bring out the next young hero so why not have one who is known yet can also be developed, letting her have a shot at something and there are 2 paths that come to mind.

That would be the Avengers path, first the Young Avengers later on joining a different Avengers group most likely Uncanny. The other would be the Magic path, as it is revealed one per-generation of the Maximoff line takes on Witchcraft powers and holds a Scarlet Title, so have her be the next inheritor going to Strange Academy while getting private lessons from Wanda.

Ok now that 2 paths are out there what about a costume, most superheroes wear some kind of costume and she has a family full of them. Well I would put costume in 3 sections. Design, Colour, and Attributes. The design would be leaning to the Inhumans, she is a literal Princess for them. Plus her mother's family seems to have a theme that she could follow

A prime colour, with black trim, and a given name symbol on the waist

Crystal = Diamond Medusa = M So Luna could be a Crescent, as for colours I would look to her father for this

Switching out the Black trim for white, as for the Prime I think it should depend on the path she would be on. I would go green for the Avengers, and Blue for Magic. Now Attributes to really scream Avengers or Magic.

If Avengers then wear her mother's Avenger's jacket, a real passing of the torch moment.

If Magic, then Red/Scarlet like Romani articles of clothing. She would adopt these not just with her costume but also everyday clothing as well. Since she would be at Strange Academy and while they have a uniform it does look to have some customization.

So powers, as an Inhuman who has gone through Terrigenesis she has gained powers that in the form of empathic aura reading and control.

But this has given also some precog abilities. It has not been explained how this is, but I think it might be she sees the future someone is leaning to the most based on their emotional state.

She holds a high amount of Inhuman DNA so will have their advanced bodies even before Terrigenesis, as well has received martial training from the likes of Karnak. Of course if she goes the magic path then Witchcraft will be a birthright as much as her Inhuman gifts. Witchcraft a magic that connects to a Goddess and the Earth.

Now while all of these are good things for a hero path to have she doesn't feel at least right now a solo act. Teams and Companions will be important part to her, and how she will act with either the Young Avengers and Strange Academy will depend on who could/should/will be there, but I do know someone who could get added to these Franklin Richards.

Currently depowered him getting his own new path could work here. For the Young Avengers give him a suit like the Thing Suit + Thing Rings, but make it something that connects to the other three Fantastic Four members letting him take on their powers though it being weaker. Each of the main members of the Fantastic Four have been part of the Avengers so he captures still the Young Avengers theme. If magic, well Agatha Harkness was his nanny maybe her recommendation to try plus get into the academy could work here, him learning Quantum Magic, still leaning into the F4's more science connections but looking at it another way.

Their families are close so they know each other and depending on who is on the teams they would most likely have the closest connections with each other, perhaps even moving from friendship to romance.

OOooooo I'm a big supporter of this!!!! While my personal headcanon/fanfiction is that Luna joins the Fantastic Four after marrying Franklin, it is very unlikely to ever happen. Joining the Young Avengers or going to Strange Academy is much more likely to happen and a great place for her! Honestly, I just want to see her more, I don't even care where they put her lol

I like the magic route for her best just because I think it would be cool see how magic interacted with her Inhuman aura reading/empath powers, and I think the aesthetic is more like her. And if Luna goes this route, I think it would be cool to see if Franklin has any magic affinity from when Agatha Harkness was his nanny. But we'll see! I just hope they have the good sense to use their legacy characters. Marvel really just loves to sideline children who have the potential to become really good characters and heroes :/

On Twitter a bit of info was put out how Agatha has connections to the Fantastic Family (Nanny for Franklin) & the Maximoff (Trained Wanda and has plans for Billy) so with her doing other things they all might overlap. Do you like the chances of them interacting? Also I made a Luna Maximoff idea you might like.

Really!???! I hadn't heard about that! (I've been caught up in university courses right now lol). With that said, it does make the changes of them interacting higher. It's definitely more than we've ever gotten in the past! That's really exciting :)))

What's your idea though??
