House of M anyone? or when Mag's needed Pietro's blood! how about the forgotten sibling, Polaris? is she still related to anyone? I feel like I bumped my damn head!

Agreed, I think that retcon was redonkulous to the nth degree. Waiting to see it quietly get ret-retconned out in a few years, because honestly, even if being Magneto's kids was a retcon in the first place, it has led to so many interesting story threads, and has made the characters in ways that they may not have otherwise.

As far as I know, though, Polaris is still Magneto's kid.

Her not being a mutant explains why Onslaught was hurt by her contribution and not strengthened.

Eh, I'd rather it be a side-effect of the nature of her powers/how her powers have intermingled with magical training and aptitude. Makes her more unique in the Marvel Universe.
