As much as it is exciting it is for Corrin to play the villain, the same is mirrored by the fans. Unveiling her role as Cassandra Nova breaks through fading secrecy. Nova stands as the sinister mirror image of Charles Xavier. She is his malevolent twin, whose existence embodies an equilibrium of power and opposition. Since conception, a psychic battle raged as Xavier aimed to end her existence, but destiny intervened. Surviving his assault, she embarked on a lifelong journey of rebirth, seeking revenge against her own brother.

Exuding formidable psychic prowess, Cassandra Nova stands as a harbinger of mutant animosity. Her intense loathing for those with extraordinary abilities drives her, fueling a relentless pursuit to eradicate them. As a formidable adversary of the X-Men, her sinister schemes cast shadows of turmoil upon their existence. Initially, whispers hinted at Corrin’s role as Mrs. Alternity, a Time Variance Authority overseer, within the tapestry of Deadpool 3′s narrative.
