Thanksgiving: What these comic book characters are thankful for

Mutants for Moira MacTaggert

Comic Book: House of X

Who would have thought that Moira MacTaggert would be the savior of mutants? After decades of being around, her story was retconned. In House of X, we find out that Moira is a mutant with the ability of reincarnation. After several rebirths, she helped Professor Xavier and Magneto devise a plan to create a mutant nation – one that’s recognized by the United Nations. With the island nation of Krakoa came the mutant resurrection protocols – a system that made sure that no mutants would remain dead and give them back their powers.

Without her, hundreds of mutants would be without a home, powerless, or dead. She may be the most important mutant in the X-Men’s history.

Batman for Catwoman

Comic Book: Batman

Over the last few years, there are more than a few things that Batman should be thanking Catwoman for. During City of Bane, she helped him defeat Bane, Thomas Wayne, and helped him regain his life in Gotham. In The Joker War, she got his fortune back from The Joker and Underbroker. More than that, Catwoman made him happy.

Batman was broken. Bane broke his body and his father broke his spirit. Catwoman helped mend both of those. During and before his time of healing, she showed him what it meant to be happy and accept that happiness is needed. Something he hadn’t truly known.

Right now, they aren’t together. Hopefully this won’t last forever, Bruce truly needs her in his life.
