“I've emptied bank accounts and passed diktat through the mouths of leaders. I've made deals in borrowed blood. I've showed you-- you smug $%&@#&$ with your perfect bodies and your polycules and your indifference to death-- I've showed you how fragile your little identities really are. And yet? The simplest explanation never even occurs to you-- It's fun.”

Solicit Synopsis
GOD FOR SALE!
LEGION is offered an unholy deal by MOTHER RIGHTEOUS, wheeler-dealer of the astral plane. But is the price worth the prize for a young man stuck in his father's shadow?

– giving a massage...?Notes
Continuity Notes[]
- As revealed in X-Men: Before The Fall - Sons of X #1, when Mother Righteous used the Spirit of Variance as fuel for the Reliquary Perilous in Nightcrawlers #3, she caused the Spirit's retroactive erasure from the timeline. Consequently, Banshee never became Vox Ignis on Earth-616, with their entire existence being relegated to the Sinister timeline.
