User blog comment:Demileto/Is Lincoln Campbell really an alias for Thomas Ward?/@comment-18086040-20150525031944/@comment-26918230-20151012193119

I don’t know much about Cyclops, Havok and Vulcan outside of the X-Men films (out of which I only like the ongoing prequel series) so thanks for the information. All the sibling pairs I could think of had completely different power sets though come to think of it all the ones I can think of are male-female pairings which might factor into it. It just made sense to me the variation of it and I readily assumed it to be standard. Thanks for explaining otherwise.:-)

(Sorry for the comment dump. I was carried away by work and other things last month and didn’t get around to replying to some comments. I think I still have two more to go on here but this is all I can pull out of me for now as I’ve also gone back to blogging (thanks, MCU, for dragging me back to Tumblr every couple of years). I’m trying to get everything addressed as we might be getting some answers starting next episode. We always talk about how the eighth episode of every season is the most Ward-family-centred, but I just remembered that while Episode 1.08, "The Well", was the first in which Christian and Thomas Ward appeared, they were first mentioned in Episode 1.03, "The Asset", and we’re already up to the third episode of the third season. And while I’m still not completely onboard the Lincoln is Thomas train, I can’t help but be a little warmed at the idea of potentially two years to the episode after we were given the knowledge of Grant Ward’s older brother targetting their younger brother, having one half of the episode be about Grant and the other half of it about his older sister trying to hunt down his younger brother. That and I just checked and the sole writer for Episode 3.03, “A Wanted (Inhu)man”*, is Monica Owusu-Breen who was also the sole writer for “The Well” (to date the most insight we’ve had into the Ward family) and “The Only Light in the Darkness” (the only time in the series so far that the Ward sister has been mentioned) and who seems to be the primary person responsible for putting together the Ward family backstory so it could all be happening (maybe)! Though unless they change things up a bit this season the eighth episode is still key so I hope they still leave some things to be teased over the next five weeks.


 * I like how the title of the episode with the use of parentheses both separates and makes parallel the two halves of the story, with the hunt for the Inhuman Lincoln Campbell on the one hand and for the man Grant Ward on the other (who for now at least we are supposed to assume is a plain old human). This episode should be interesting…)
