Say what you will about Chris Claremont, when it comes to mind control he's an equal opportunity offender. At least, that's what he proved in Uncanny X-men # 195 when he subjected small kids to it.
The story: Morlock and natural mother Annalee was desperate after her children had mysteriously disappeared.
So, what do you do? Well, you could always search for them of course. Maybe ask your fellow Morlock Caliban to help out, he's able to sense mutants after all... Or, you could go and kidnap someone else's kids. Yeah, that is indeed the easiest way out.
The Morlocks went out to get Annalee some replacement kiddies and, instead of raiding an orphanage, they opted to go after the Power children... Better known as Power Pack.

The kids got their minds tampered with, convincing them they were indeed "momma Annalees's children". But young girl Katie Power managed to break free and informed the X-men of her situation. So, the team came down into the tunnels and set the matter straight.
Lessons learned? You're never too young to be played like a puppet when Chris Claremont is writing you... And, for those of you wondering what happened to Annalee's actual children? They were killed. By Scalphunter. Of the Marauders.
Hey kids... comics!

ReplyDeleteActually, Annalee's kids were confirmed dead before that. In issue #193 when Xavier was down there, Sunder showed up carrying their bodies and told Cal that someone had shot them in cold-blood. At the time, Cal assumed it was anti-mutant bigots. In any case, that's why Annalee didn't search for them.
