What are everybody's thoughts on the possibility of there being mutant sanctuaries outside the X-Mansion and other places?

I mean, let's say that across Europe, there might be some priories and abbeys that will be safe havens and sanctuaries for mutants, which will hide them from humans that are mutant haters and anti-mutant sentiments, other than provide food, water, shelter, and clothing for said mutants. This is based on the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust, because not all humans in the world are prejudiced and bigoted mutant haters.

The abbots/abbesses in charge of the monasteries along with the friars, monks, and nuns would all be mutant sympathizers and pro-mutant activists who are supportive of mutant rights, especially Prof. Xavier's promotions of peaceful human/mutant coexistences, firmly believing that even mutants are "all God's children," irrespective of their nationalities and religions. They would all despise Rev. William Stryker, Graydon Creed, Simon Trask, and Leper Queen for their nefariously and vitriolically overzealous and fanatically unequivocal and virulent hatred of mutantkind along with their respective criminal paramilitary/terrorist organizations of the Purifiers (aka Stryker Crusade), the Friends of Humanity, Humanity's Last Stand, and the Sapien League other than the hate crimes they've all committed against mutants and humans that are pro-mutant, including both the Mutant Response Division (MRD) and Operation: Zero Tolerance (OZT), seeing them as nothing but false preachers.

The monasteries might as well also be secret members of the Mutant Underground Support Engine (M.U.S.E.) and will have contact with an agent of the X-Corporation and Prof. Xavier as well.

What are everybody's thoughts on creating new magical relics/mystic artifacts that would be used by the likes of Dr. Strange or others like him?

Here are some artifacts I have ideas of making:

Staff of Odin

A mystical artifact of Asgardian origin that is a 5"11 battle staff carved and crafted by Eitri, King of the Dwarves in Nidavellir at the request of Odin Allfather. The staff is made of ash wood from the "Asgard" branch of Yggdrasil mixed with the combination of a tip of uru wound around and set in at the bottom end like a thumbtack and a carved and polished amethyst in the shape and size of a billiard ball embedded and encrusted at the top of the head that gives its wielder the power to manipulate and bend matter and the caster's surroundings to fight against their opponents and enemies along with any type of elemental magic, too. The staff also has the power to shrink in size for the wielder's convenience and is incorporated with layers and layers of very powerful, customized, permanent, everlasting, and inexhaustible protective enchantments via Asgardian magic where it can deflect, repel, block, and redirect offensive magic spells and dark magic like a baseball/cricket bat hitting its respective ball(s) and also possess the power to extend itself along with being enchanted to shrink in size for the convenience of the owner so to not carry something big, but as small as a wand and a tanbō that can easily fit in one's pocket and enlarge it back to its original size.

Book of Timaeus

A mystical artifact that is a spellbook written by Timaeus of Locri, a Greek philosopher who was also the very first known wizard in Atlantis that holds the most powerful spells in "blue" magic to be used in offense and defense against an opponent or enemy, including healing magic, hydromancy, elemental control over water, and has the power to purify all types of water pollution. This spellbook is almost as old as both the Tome of Zhered-Na and Book of the Vishanti.

Eye of Raziel

A mystical artifact that is an amulet appearing in the shape and image of an eye socket based on Egyptian hieroglyph design possessing a gem (an amethyst) the size of a ping pong ball from the Lifestone Tree in the image of an eyeball embedded and encrusted in the amulet which gives its wearer the power to see people and magical objects that would have a either a pure or tainted aura, protects the wearer from dark forces by burning someone that is pure evil via physical contact, allows the wearer to cast dark spells without being condemned, protects the wearer from powerful mind-readings and illusions (whether magical, psychokinetic/telepathic, holographic, etc.) other than seeing through them, and gives the wearer the power to make any ordinary object "holy" by constant physical contact, but can also make it permanent via a certain magic spell. It also has the power to copy magic talismans that gives protection from certain things via siphoning.

Ring of Damballa

A mystical artifact that is a gold-banded finger ring with a carved and polished blood ruby embedded and encrusted in the mounting that has the power to do numerous magical feats, that of which includes creating very powerful energy shields that even the most powerful dark magic spells cannot break through, can negate the powers of not only superhumans, but magic as well other than work the same as a Sling Ring. It can also magically fit to size any finger on whomever that wields it.

Bandages of Thutmose

A pair of mystical artifacts that are magic bandage cloths made from the bandages used to mummify Thutmose III, sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty that can be worn as either arm warmer gloves or a bracelet that can be transfigured into the following at the user's command: boxing gloves; cestas; a magic rope that is used parallel to a bullwhip in offense and defense against opponents; a grappling device to adhesively stick to solid surfaces so to break one's fall and rappel down to safety or climb up to a particular spot; a lasso to catch a target like the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak; a magic nunchuk, bullwhip, and kusari-fundo used in offense and defense against opponents and enemies that can block and redirect offensive spells and dark magic like a baseball/cricket bat hitting its respective ball(s); a blindfold parallel to pulling a pocket handkerchief from one's sleeve; brass knuckles and tekkō-kagis for hand-to-hand combat; a shepherd's sling for throwing projectiles; and a cape as big as a matador's cape, incorporated with layers and layers of very powerful, customized, permanent, everlasting, and inexhaustible protective enchantments like a shield that can block offensive spells and dark magic along with being used as a jumping sheet to catch falling people and objects from high distances.

Chains of Krampus

A mystical artifact that is a set of long magic chain-like tentacles made from an iron-carbonadium compound mixture from the shackles of Krampus that are 8 feet long, embedded in a cuirass-like chainmail battle armor that is used for surprise attacks against opponents and enemies, parallel to a bullwhip and a kusari-fundo used in offense and defense like Dr. Octopus's and Omega Red's respective tentacles. The tentacles are all magically purged of radioactivity, laced with synthesized Cheyarafim blood, enforced with a large array of armaments and equipment ranging from weapons and tools via conjuration derived from an amalgamation of both Undrjarn the All-Weapon, can repel and deflect offensive magic spells and dark magic, is immune to magnetic manipulations, and a grappling device to adhesively stick to solid surfaces so to break one's fall and rappel down to safety or climb up to a particular spot.

What are everybody's thoughts on the idea of a new underground railroad that would be used to smuggle mutants across the United States by bringing them to the X-Mansion in Westchester County, New York before eventually relocating to the island of Krakoa?

The way I see it, there should be a transcontinental underground railroad network in America that is based on the historical railway network of the same name in the United States and was established and built by the X-Corporation with the help of Stark Industries, Parker Industries, Worthington Industries, and Frost International where mutants can escape from prejudiced humans that are down on anti-mutant sentiments, activities, and bigotry.

The network would be used and operated by not only members of the X-Men and their faction teams, but also pro-mutant humans that are mutant sympathizers and allies of the X-Men, too along with other superhero allies.

Later, the network would expand internationally to other countries in order to help foreign mutants around the world suffering from anti-mutant persecution all the same as well. And the trains in the underground railroad would all look like a hyperloop.

Does anybody believe that Stan Lee, our hero deserves to have a special something named after him in all Marvel Comics that would serve as an honorary homage to how many years he's helped create heroes and villains in Marvel Comics?

I do.

I believe that there should be a business owned by a fictionalized depiction of Stan. And here's what I see it is called: Stan's Hotdogs.

Here's the synopsis:

Stan's Hotdogs is a New York City-based successful multibillion-dollar wiener restaurant that was founded and is owned by entrepreneur and businessman Stan Lee, opening its very first restaurant in Greenwich Village in 1941 to critical and overnight success. It is one of the most popular wiener restaurants in all of the Big Apple, making different varieties of wieners, both regular and footlong (including gluten-free) with people's favorite condiments (sugar-free included) and seasonings along with serving waffle and curly fries with either Cajun or creole seasoning, mozzarella sticks, and both Frito-Lay and Doritos potato chip products for a side in a combo, and Dr. Pepper and Pepsi products to drink. There are also kiosks, street carts, and trucks in the business all over the city, too and continues to grow. By 1973, the restaurant began to expand with serving breakfast in specialized breakfast wieners along with having coffee, juice, and/or milk to drink from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. every day, making it even more popular.

The restaurant in Greenwich Village is part of a rowhouse and has been a very popular place for a lot of people in New York, whether native of the city or not, and especially the students and alumni part of the public university system of the City University of New York (CUNY), including Empire State University, Columbia University, New York University, and New York City College of Technology (City Tech) respectively. One of their most frequent customers have been students and teachers from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Tony Stark/Iron Man, the entrepreneurial multibillionaire, owner, and chairman of Stark Industries who has also offered to franchise Stan's Hotdogs nationwide for a billion dollars via investings from Stark Industries along with Worthington Industries, Parker Industries, and Frost International, too where the business' very first locations outside of New York opening in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World and the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland respectively. Even some agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have taken a liking to the restaurant as well.

Other locations in New York include Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, Coney Island, and one in every single college campus in the whole city. Even Giants Stadium, Madison Square Garden, and Yankee Stadium caters their wieners during home games for every season via business contract. Catering menus for takeouts are available for customers to take home with them, too.

Every year on July 19th, which is also National Hotdog Day, there is a 25% off all day on the menu for every customer interested in wanting to eat wieners for either breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner, including the combos at every location. And every year, there is a hotdog eating contest held at the main restaurant in Greenwich Village that is sponsored by Stark Industries, where participating contestants earn a hall-of-fame type of prize for eating a record amount of whichever varieties of wieners by having their pictures taken, put in a frame, and hung on the wall inside the restaurant from winning said contest. The contest also has rankings for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for winning where whichever contestant earns a small trophy or medal in either gold, silver, or bronze along with a plush of a hotdog for a special and complimentary souvenir prize. And the trophies are all made in the image of a hand holding a hotdog vertically set on a black round base in gold, silver, and bronze respectively for whichever place.

Does anybody believe that Mystique has one too many sons and not enough daughters in the comics and any other incarnations?

I do.

In my personal opinion, she needs more daughters. And I don't mean adopted like Rogue. Mystique needs some daughters that she was pregnant with, gave birth to, and are mutants just like her. One of which should be a member of both the X-Men and Avengers.

What her daughter's mutant powers/abilities would be, I don't know. Maybe she'd be a shapeshifter just like her mother, or perhaps something else entirely. She would also be a major advocate on peaceful human-mutant coexistences like Professor X, similar to Martin Luther King, Jr. or even Medgar Evers where she would use her wit and guile that she inherited from her mother that would become a major eyeopener to most humans, making a lot of them see and realize that not all are evil and that those like the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Hellfire Club are those who will do anything and everything in their power to make mutants reign supreme.
