I like to imagine that Luna and the twins have arguments about who's really the older one AKA who should be in charge when they hang out
the fact that Luna Maximoff was literally born before Billy and Tommy but bc of the retro-reincarnation* the twins are full grown adults and Luna is still a middle-schooler.
*nobody in the mid-2000s was playing close enough attention to the timeline, also because Luna is the Franklin Richards of Atillan and will never age.

That is such a parent/little kid thing
I have this headcanon that Luna likes to paint, specifically watercolour painting. I think it was in Son of M, but Luna describes her powers as seeing different colours around people, and I think it would be cool if she began to express the emotions that she sees around people in art. I think watercolour painting is the most accurate to how she sees these coloured auras around people.
THERE WAS NEW LUNA CONTENT AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT

Fabulous take and absolutely what my dream direction would be for them both in the future
So Luna is a pretty popular character, reaching most of the Marvel fan base thanks to the many connections she has, even though she doesn't get used that much. Marvel loves to bring out the next young hero so why not have one who is known yet can also be developed, letting her have a shot at something and there are 2 paths that come to mind.
That would be the Avengers path, first the Young Avengers later on joining a different Avengers group most likely Uncanny. The other would be the Magic path, as it is revealed one per-generation of the Maximoff line takes on Witchcraft powers and holds a Scarlet Title, so have her be the next inheritor going to Strange Academy while getting private lessons from Wanda.
Ok now that 2 paths are out there what about a costume, most superheroes wear some kind of costume and she has a family full of them. Well I would put costume in 3 sections. Design, Colour, and Attributes. The design would be leaning to the Inhumans, she is a literal Princess for them. Plus her mother's family seems to have a theme that she could follow
A prime colour, with black trim, and a given name symbol on the waist
Crystal = Diamond Medusa = M So Luna could be a Crescent, as for colours I would look to her father for this
Switching out the Black trim for white, as for the Prime I think it should depend on the path she would be on. I would go green for the Avengers, and Blue for Magic. Now Attributes to really scream Avengers or Magic.
If Avengers then wear her mother's Avenger's jacket, a real passing of the torch moment.
If Magic, then Red/Scarlet like Romani articles of clothing. She would adopt these not just with her costume but also everyday clothing as well. Since she would be at Strange Academy and while they have a uniform it does look to have some customization.
So powers, as an Inhuman who has gone through Terrigenesis she has gained powers that in the form of empathic aura reading and control.
But this has given also some precog abilities. It has not been explained how this is, but I think it might be she sees the future someone is leaning to the most based on their emotional state.
She holds a high amount of Inhuman DNA so will have their advanced bodies even before Terrigenesis, as well has received martial training from the likes of Karnak. Of course if she goes the magic path then Witchcraft will be a birthright as much as her Inhuman gifts. Witchcraft a magic that connects to a Goddess and the Earth.
Now while all of these are good things for a hero path to have she doesn't feel at least right now a solo act. Teams and Companions will be important part to her, and how she will act with either the Young Avengers and Strange Academy will depend on who could/should/will be there, but I do know someone who could get added to these Franklin Richards.
Currently depowered him getting his own new path could work here. For the Young Avengers give him a suit like the Thing Suit + Thing Rings, but make it something that connects to the other three Fantastic Four members letting him take on their powers though it being weaker. Each of the main members of the Fantastic Four have been part of the Avengers so he captures still the Young Avengers theme. If magic, well Agatha Harkness was his nanny maybe her recommendation to try plus get into the academy could work here, him learning Quantum Magic, still leaning into the F4's more science connections but looking at it another way.
Their families are close so they know each other and depending on who is on the teams they would most likely have the closest connections with each other, perhaps even moving from friendship to romance.
I have good news. He’s leaving the Fantastic Four soon. So that’s something.
Can someone tell me what Dan Slott knows to continued to be employed by Marvel? I mean, they even put a hit piece out on him back in 2020 and yet he's still there.
#Teddy is 20 even though the avengers were present at around the time he was conceived and the avengers have existed for less than 16 years.#do skrull age fast. did the recent time travel story give him some time to grow up more some when. we just don’t know#I do want to know how old Luna is though#she was stated to be six around civil war time. that makes her 12 now#they grow up. painfully slowly#wait the young avengers who are 20 now were 16 then. she might only be ten#okay and this was all before civil war. I hate it here#marvel#comics [tags @meanstiel on this post]
I tried my best to break down Luna’s age progression in this post last year, after realizing that she is paradoxically the oldest and youngest out of all her cousins.
Luna was born first, Billy and Tommy were born second, and Ahura was born last. The boys have all been aged up supernaturally, which allowed writers to refurbish the characters as adolescents and teens. It totally breaks the timeline, but that’s the point. They’re all young adults now, but Luna has been left to age naturally, which means she was stuck as a little kid for a really, really long time.
That definitely holds Luna back as a character, but at least she fits into the timeline. Pietro and Crystal haven’t really aged since the 90s, so it still makes sense for their daughter to be super young. Nowadays, Luna only shows up once every few years, but she’s a little bit older every time. In Quicksilver: No Surrender (2018) she looks like a young teen.
And in Fantastic Four #32 (pub. 2021), Crystal says that Luna has “blossomed into a young woman.” Luna mostly appears out of frame, but I think she looks like a teenager here. Maybe 14-15? Hard to say. Anyhow, that’s her most recent appearance.
Character ages never make sense, and that’s just something we have to accept, but the arbitrary timelines that writers will set around big events like Civil War or HoxPox really break things. How am I supposed to believe that the Avengers have been around for less than twenty years, and the X-Men have only been around for ten, when there are characters on both teams who have full grown children that were born and raised within those timeframes?! Some of those kids are timewarpy and weird, like Wanda’s sons, but some of them have had fully natural lives and are just way too old to have parents under thirty.
