Parentage

I think it should be noted that Polaris has now been reveled to be Magneto's daughter after running genetic testing. I looked this up after seeing her in House of M as a member of the House of Magnus. (preceding unsigned comment by 170.163.100.196 (talk • contribs) )

I was wondering about Polaris being shown as Magneto's daughter in House of M too. I came here looking for information on that subject... only to find the history portion of the article denying it, and the information on the right bar confirming it. What issue was the "genetic testing" done in? For that matter, what proof did Iceman offer way back when to the contrary? Ocicat 03:08, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Iceman (in I believe Uncanny #52) said that he had affidavits from a number of people asserting that her parents had died in a plane crash. Unfortunately, I have not read House of M, so I'm not familiar with these latest developments. Kurt Wagner 05:54, 10 November 2005
In Chuck Austen's run on Uncanny X-Men, Polaris discovered genetic material that apparently proved Magneto was Polaris's father (the revelation occured in "The Draco" storyarc). --DrBat 00:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish?

I wasn't aware that Lorna was Jewish. Can someone point me to the reference if this is so and if not remove her from the Fictional Jews and Jewish Superheroes catergories? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.76.132.215 (talk • contribs) .

I can only presume this is related to Austen's fustercluck of trying to make Magneto her dad - although there was an attempt to establish him as a Gypsy at one point, that was established as a false story. I don't think anyone's firmly established him as Jewish though - and isn't Judaism matrilineal anyway? - SoM 14:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Magneto is Jewish, his wife Magda was Romani. Lorna is therefore, due to Austen's retcon, Jewish in terms of ethnicity. Judaism as a religion is matrilineal (though this depends on the sect), but the Ashkenazi Jew is a genetic ethnicity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.225.199 (talk • contribs)

Powers?

Has it been confirmed if she gets her magnetic powers back? I was under the impression her abilities would have changed.
