Reblogging this for two reasons.

Reason #1: To show a part of Lorna’s history, and the sort of stuff she has to overcome and has overcome as a character to only finally start to be acknowledged as a character in her own right.

Reason #2: It’s more specific about what Lorna apparently studied – archaeology.

In the first few seconds I saw that bit, I was a little annoyed. With her power set, you’d expect she would be more interested in geology due to magnetic fields and various metals. But, then I realized: perhaps for Lorna, a course in geology is akin to a math whiz wasting their time on simple math courses. Perhaps she already knows from personal experience and knowledge everything she would ever need to know about the way the land, magnetic fields and various metals work.

If that’s the case, then archaeology would be more insightful and rewarding for her. It would give her a chance to understand the value and history of those things she can sense that she would never be able to pick up with her powers alone. It would give her insight on how to use her powers while doing less harm to nature and past cultural artifacts. And, when meeting with groups like the Inhumans, she would be aware that their culture has its own history that shaped who and what they are, and she needs to understand that to understand them. Something I doubt most X-Men would understand.

tl;dr While Lorna’s depiction here is bad (IMO), there are things to be pulled out of it that can be salvaged and built upon for greatness.
