Sometimes I wish we got a little more insight into what hospital thought about hilson. They were walking around the hallways in front of everyone saying shit like "I am in charge of our RELATIONSHIP", "If you looked at me with those flashy little eyes before I was involved", " Why not date you?", "We're a couple" etc. Wilson literally recited a poem about house infront of others with lines " His stubbled jaw;Everything about him leaves me raw". They always leave together, sometimes come together, always have lunch together(and wilson always pays for it) and most times in the middle of the day house just randomly walks into his office, closes the door, gets out with a grin 10 mins later like he conquered the world.

So what did the hospital think? Did everyone just think they had a weird friendship? Did most people already assume they were a couple? Were there any betting pool on how long will it take for them to get together? How much did cuddy contribute to the rumour mill by simpy referring to Wilson as House's "boyfriend"to nurses ? I NEED TO KNOW ALL THIS.

So I reread Gwenpool Strikes Back and I think I actually like her "616 mutant origin" more now than I did before. Because I didn't fully get what they were doing before.

The inciting incident that starts the miniseries is Gwenpool discovering a new ability. It isn't very well explained in the moment, but it boils down to this: she can imagine things happening before or in-between the panels of the story, and if she then "flashes back" to them in her thoughts, they will retroactively become real events that really happened.

The best way to explain this is using the battle royale she organizes in issue 3: she imagines having set this up off-screen, and it became retroactively true. She initially didn't have a prize in mind, but just has to imagine that Tony Stark donated a bunch of money to be a cash prize, and suddenly it's like that happened. It became true retroactively. She seems to be able to just decide things happened off-screen, and the universe will agree.

As far as abilities go, this is absolutely King Crimson levels of convoluted, and this definitely makes Gwenpool a ridiculously powerful character, but for the purpose of the story, sure, let's say she can do that now.

Now, as we all know, at the end of the miniseries, Gwenpool has a conversation with Ms. Marvel. Kamala doesn't believe Gwen's claims that the Marvel universe is a comic book, and suggests an alternate theory: she may actually just be a mutant with amnesia.

We the audience know this is not true, and so does Gwen. She IS from the real world, and Kamala simply can't comprehend Gwen's perspective on her universe.

But what matters here is that while listening to Kamala's theory, Gwen imagined it. While unintentional, she used her power. She had a "flashback." Which made it real. Retroactively real.

Entirely by accident, there are now two truths:

Gwenpool is from the real world, and is a normal person

Gwenpool is from the Marvel universe, and is a mutant

Though this wasn't Gwen's intention, these statements are now both equally, irreversibly true, and always have been. And so, the Krakoan gate opens. The universe now considers her a mutant.

It's not just that she was accepting Kamala's version of events. She WASN'T a mutant. But now she is. Her powers changed the past. She accidentally retconned herself into being a mutant. Gwen and the audience both know that her 616 mutant origin didn't really happen, but as far as the universe is concerned, it did. Her power made it true.

I feel like they could have done a better job explaining this, but they probably didn't have all the pages in the world to spend on exposition. Either way, I like GSB more now that I properly understand what they were going for.

Neil who dies by his fathers hand and goes to haunt kevin out of a sense of frustration and jealousy to live the rest of his ghastly existence out vicariously through him. They meet as unwanted and unknown guardian angels who think at first the other will thwart him in his mission of protecting his ward, but eventually banding together to protect the foxes as a whole. And maybe the foxes find out about them and bring life back into their memories
