A.V. Pull List: I want a Deadpool & Wolverine prequel comic about Cassandra Nova and the Void

Cassandra Nova is the twin sister of Charles Xavier and an Omega-level mutant. Her MCU backstory is begging to be told. A prequel comic book series exploring her time in the Void, her acquisition of Doctor Strange's ring, and her deadly encounters with iconic characters would be a fun addition to the MCU canon.

We know per Deadpool & Wolverine that Cassandra was banished to the Void by the Time Variance Authority. She embraced her new surroundings and built a community of survivors.

The prequel series would delve into Cassandra's confrontations with MCU legends. Deadpool & Wolverine tells us she killed Doctor Strange, obtaining his Sling Ring, and wore his skin for days. She murdered Magneto and melted his helmet down, so it couldn't be used to diminish her powers. Punisher, and Daredevil (potentially Ben Affleck's version) fell victim to her wrath while storming her base, but ultimately failed to take her down. Each encounter would showcase her ruthless determination and growing power.

And with Doctor Strange's ring, Cassandra can traverse universes, making her a threat to countless realities. A Cassandra Nova 5-issue mini prequel series would provide a fun experience for fans. We could also explore the mysteries of the Void and what other cool things could be out there.
