Zzzzz Wha? Posting?

Well, don't expect anything long-winded or brilliant, not that you're likely in the frame of mind to deal with such things, anymore than I'm in the frame of mind to type them. Therefore, please consider the following when you can:

Layla Miller - First appears in House of M, where Marvel-Earth is not as we're accustomed to seeing it (Mutants running the show). Nowadays, the House of M universe is an alternate reality at best (I'm sure it's taking place out there somewhere in the multiverse/Omniverse/Whateververse). Says she knows stuff. Frequently cryptic, frequently irritating to people she works with. Currently trapped in the future, having gone there to investigate great upheaval caused by mutant baby.

Starhawk - First appears in Defenders, with 616-Earth also not as we're accustomed to seeing it (Conquered by Badoon). Eventually, activites are relegated to alternate universe (Reality-691), since in the 616, Vance Astro never became an astronaut, and can't get lost in space for a 1000 years. Calls itself "The One Who Knows". Can be cryptic, vague, and unhelpful, leading to consternation on the part of teammates. Currently running around in the present (the past to Starhawk), as a result of some great upheaval it wants to stop.

I have nothing to say beyond that, it just popped up when I read Starhawk calling herself The One Who Knows. Probably don't mean a thing, probably best if it doesn't mean a thing, as I don't think we need Layla being an avatar of the Hawk God Arcturus*, just figured I'd mention it.

* That legacy thing is DC's shtick, after all.

If you really want to mess with your head on Time Travel try and figure out how Starhawk is working here.

Starhawk is the one who knows, because his spirit was banished through time and thrown back to when he was a baby, but with all of his memories. Therefore he knows because he experienced everything that had happened to him before.

The original Guardians of the Galaxy had a lot of really insane characters and histories, but Starhawk's took the cake (the above doesn't even factor in physically sharing a body with his ex-wife, who eventually hooked up with his teammate Vance, while still sharing the body).
