I think I’ve seen enough to confirm that Marvel is blacklisting anything having to do with Polaris/Lorna Dane.

Obviously, there’s the fact they have nothing planned for her. It’s her 50th anniversary, there’s a TV show where its idea of her is the most popular character out of all of them. There is no reason for them not to use her.

There’s also this tweet by Gail Simone which to me, gives away that Marvel is shooting down anything having to do with Lorna.

How would a Polaris book be a “hard sell” unless people higher up at Marvel are getting in the way?

But here’s what I consider the final piece of evidence: as they’re reprinting Uncanny X-Men in the 00s, they’re deliberately skipping over the most important issues for her.

In February, they’re reprinting Uncanny X-Men up to #424. This is right before Lorna’s wedding issues.

In December this year, they’re reprinting Uncanny X-Men starting at #444. This is right after her best issues in the entire run.

There’s only one possible reason to have no plans for Lorna, to skip over her essential issues of a run, and for a writer to think it’s not possible to convince Marvel to accept a solo book pitch for her: Marvel has Lorna blacklisted.

And if she reappears as “Havok’s girlfriend” or some bullshit like that, I’m still right. Because that will mean they’ve blacklisted Lorna the actual character. Using Lorna only as a way to promote Havok is not using Lorna. It’s using a plot device with the name and visual appearance of Lorna.
