Fan Sentiment

Meggan remains a beloved but underutilized character from the classic Excalibur era, cherished for her unique combination of empathic shapeshifting powers and a fierce personality beneath her gentle exterior. Fans consistently highlight her Omega-level potential and her standout moments of agency (particularly Excalibur vol 1 #43 where she asserts herself), though many lament that she hasn't received nearly enough focus in modern X-Men stories. Her marriage to Brian Braddock and her role in the original Excalibur run remain her defining legacy, with readers eager to see her return to prominence.
