Agree, she seems like some ancient egyptian priestess.

I do think Xavin injects some fun/humor with her being a fish out of water, so to speak. It got really grating in the comics (because of Xavin’s personality there), but it seems to have a lighter touch in the show, making it more effective and endearing to a degree.

i can imagine her sacrificing for the group even. i think she is a very loyal character.

**Arrakis** · 01-12-2019, 09:52 AM

Especially to K she is very loyal.

I can see that in a TV format, it would come off better than in comics.

I do look forward to her interacting and learning from Nico & Co. And helping fight Jonah and his family to save Karolina.

Xavin has a lot of information that they could utilize.

definitely. it's already been way more entertaining in the show than it ever was in the comics.

Having an actor brings out the quirks to play the -fish out of water- better than just words on a page.

**majesdane** · 01-23-2019, 07:50 AM

absolutely

**Arrakis** · 01-23-2019, 09:38 AM

Agree.

Barstool Prophet · 01-27-2019, 09:58 AM

For sure.

we'll have to wait and see what happens with xav in s3.

***Artemis*** · 01-27-2019, 05:24 PM

Lots of good potential that doesn't need them to break up a ship or need a triangle. So I'm good with Xavin as of now.

Just came from Captain Marvel.

Definitely wonder if Runaways will play with Xavin being Skrull and how that would fit in.

probably not, considering the heads of mcu and marvel tv don't get along and josh & steph said they were not allowed to use the skrulls in runaways.
