So is there a picture of Layla Miller before "House of M" or is the red horned part just someone description?--Mullon 23:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

• It's the description she gave, post-HoM, of her pre-HoM appearance. She may have been lying. DS 16:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

her name in hebrew means "the night" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.230.77.185 (talk) 22:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro + edits

I thought we should engage in a constructive discussion of the recent changes to the entry here. Because it's actually not an improvement to the entry to have it's first substantive sentence reference "Dr. Strange's theory of her origin" when that theory has not been previously mentioned in the entry. This is a very problematic construction, and "better this way" is just not strong enough of a rationale to explain or justify the change.--Galliaz (talk) 18:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I said "better this way", because she needs her origin first, i did not say "wow, look at that, it is perfect". It still needs work, the entire article does. So instead of reverting to a bad state for the article, why not improve it further. Rau J16 19:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

We're in agreement: the reversion I made was to an improved state of the entry, for the reason I gave in my first comment. (It wasn't a reversion just for the sake of a reversion, as you imply.) The character's origin is in House of M, so I think a separate "Origin" sub-heading is unnecessary. And in order to continue in a constructive vein, could you please explain why you feel your wording is better? (Specifically: "Contrary to Dr. Strange's ...")--Galliaz (talk) 19:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I never said that that wording was better. I was referring tot he split of the sections, her origin is not given in House of M, it is given in X-Factor, where she reveals her status as a depowered mutant, what her mutation was, that she is an orphan and that she was beaten by the other kids at the orphanage. Evidence of some of those facts were even shown, such as her receiving many bruises upon her return tot the orphanage. I feel that mixing the two sections is not a good move because they do not tie into each other as much as they used to. I am 100% for re-wording the opening to the bio section, but 0% for having House of M as the lead section.. Rau J16 19:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Rewrote lead to try and satisfy both parties. I did this by making sense of the first statement, with out losing informationRau J16 22:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Largely condensed the bio sections of the article. Rau's talk 04:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Did it again. Rau's Speak Page 18:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mighty Avengers #13

In Mighty Avengers #13, Daisy Johnson approaches Layla at X-Factor Investigations about joining Nick Fury's new Howling Commandos. She declines, saying they would fail with her in the team.

Two points here: 1) Should we mention this in the article?, and 2) How in the name of christmas did she get back from the future?

Ixistant (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if we should mention it. Ask yourself if it's notable. If it is, then add it. if it doesn't add anything to the character significantly or play a role in any major plotline, then it's not notable. Also, I believe that she was approached before the events of Messiah Complex.Luminum (talk) 19:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

It was before Messiah Complex, she even states "I need to be here for something later anyhow. The mutants need me." And it was in the article but I removed it because it was such a trivial appearance it seemed more for the fans than anything, at least right now. Ya' never know, it could be a hint to a larger role for Layla in the next generation. Rau's Speak Page 22:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
