upon more thought , what if her father was an anachronastic quic.ksilver-esque character . someone who was on a mission through time , stopped to mess around , and accidentally made a child with someone who would later join the brotherhood with ma.gneto . maybe the character only seems fast , but he's really bending time ? small wormholes just for him to mess around with ?
her mother's telepathy was strongest with animals and illusions ; she specialized in making people firmly believe they were animals , down to movements , habits , and mannerisms . maybe she's more powerful if she uses a particular plant that allows her to manipulate reality ; literally turning people into animals .
this would give maggie the softball set up to be connected to portals & travel ( through her father ) + illusions & substance use ( through her mother ) .
high key thinking about giving maggie a mut.ant ver.se / gen. superpow.ered ver.se
