Who is David Haller? | A Reading Guide

David Haller is the son of Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Gabrielle Haller (the Israeli Ambassador to the UK) though neither Charles nor David would be aware of their relation to each other until after the founding of the New Mutants. While David was living in Paris with his mother and step-father, the home was the target of an Antisemitic attack that resulted in David’s step-father dying in front of him. The resulting trauma triggered David’s latent psionic powers but also fractured his mind resulting in the creation of many alters.

David is at his core a loving and gentle person, who struggles with his powers, his father’s legacy, and with his mental health. David is canonically autistic along with being what is possibly the strongest omega level mutant in the Marvel Universe. The full scope of his powers are incredibly complicated and for that I’ll link to the fandom wiki here. If you’re looking for the official Marvel Character Closeup for him you can find that here.

Reading list (with totally legal links) and synopsis/descriptors is under the cut.

David’s first canonical appearances really set the stage for the character- and are part of the acclaimed Claremont run of the New Mutants. I highly recommend starting with these first appearances to gain a better sense of the character before moving on.

New Mutants (1983) #26-34, 44

For those familiar with the FX show Legion (which is frankly a HORRIBLE depiction of David Haller), you will already be familiar with the main antagonist in David’s next major appearances, which take place during the Muir Island crossover event, where the X-Men battle the Shadow King. This event leaves David in a catatonic state that even Professor X cannot pull him from. This saga is extremely important for understanding both David’s trauma and the fears and anxieties other have about David. Definitely a must read. I’ve included here both the lead-up to the Muir Island saga and the official crossover event itself.

Uncanny X-Men (1963) #254

X-Men: Forever (2001) #2 - this comic is a much later look at the events of the previously listed comic from a different perspective

Uncanny X-Men (1963) #257-259

Uncanny X-Men Annual #15

X-Factor Annual #6

Uncanny X-Men (1963) #278-279 - Muir Island Saga #1

X-Factor (1986) #69 - Muir Island Saga #2

Uncanny X-Men (1963) #280 - Muir Island Saga #3

X-Factor (1986) #70 - Muir Island Saga #4

David next takes center stage in the lead up to one of the classic X-Men events, The Age of Apocalypse. The Legion Quest crossover event begins with David receiving intense medical care in the hopes that he’ll awaken from his catatonic state, but pushed on by Destiny, David awakens and pushes forward, grappling with his father’s legacy and eventually travelling back in time in an attempt to prevent the rift between the Brotherhood and the X-Men. David’s actions resulted in the alternate timeline “Age of Apocalypse” which is rectified by Bishop siphoning David’s powers to create a psionic-loop, the power from which was enough to damage David to the point he was presumed dead. This arc is one of the most important reads for this character.

X-Men (1991) #38

Uncanny X-Men #319

X-Men (1991) #39

Uncanny X-Men #320 - Legion Quest #1

X-Men (1991) #40 - Legion Quest #2

Uncanny X-Men #321 - Legion Quest #3

X-Men (1991) #41 - Legion Quest #4

Cable (1993) #20

David next appears in an arc known as the “Return of Legion” in New Mutants (2009)- where it’s revealed that rather than dying during Legion Quest, David had instead been banished to a place called “no-time.” This arc highlights David’s gentle nature while also showcasing the very real dangers posed by his mutation as one half of the New Mutants must fight David’s body, while the others enter his mind to try to rescue both him and a little girl named Marci from the darkness within David’s own mind.

New Mutants (2009) #1-5, 9, 14, 20, 21

David’s next highlighted in X-Men: Legacy, where David’s desire to be loved forces him to grapple with reality.

X-Men: Legacy (2008) #242-249

After that he’s next seen in X-Men: Age of X, there is some crossover in this event from the X-Men: Legacy issues I recommended immediately before this, but honestly I’d put Age of X as a must read as it places David in a role where he has to choose between a false universe where he is considered a beloved hero and reality where he must choose to be a hero despite the fear others feel about him.

X-Men: Age of X (2011)

Following X-Men: Age of X, some of David’s alters are given corporeal form - with a small team of X-Men David embarked on a quest to reabsorb these personalities.

X-Men: Legacy (2008) #250-253

The following event is being recommended for context- and while you don’t need to read the whole 12-issue event to proceed, I do highly recommend reading #5, and familiarizing yourself with the event’s conclusion before proceeding.

Avengers vs. X-Men

Once you’ve acquired the context from Avengers vs. X-Men you’ll want to move on to X-men: Legacy (2013)- which chronicles David’s struggles to overcome his past and to preserve his goal of gentleness and love.

X-Men: Legacy (2013) #1-24 (this is what’s collected in the Legion Omnibus)

Uncanny X-Men (2019) otherwise known as X-Men: Disassembled has... a lot of issues in its writing of Nate Grey and particularly in its writing of Magneto. While I would NOT recommend this arc in terms of a general X-Men comic recommendation, I am recommending it for David specifically because it shows his desperation to help, as well as his consistent dismissal and mistreatment from the X-Men. This comic is not without its issues and my full review of it can be found here.

Uncanny X-Men (2019) #1-10

Moving on to the Krakoa era- the following comics take great pains to not only provide David’s character with depth, but also to address many of the issues inherent in the Krakoan system. These are absolute must-reads and provide some incredible insight into David and Charles’ father-son dynamic, and the implications of that dynamic within the context of the Krakoan resurrection protocols.

Way of X (2021) #1-2

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto (2021) #5 - reading the whole Trial of Magneto event recommended but not required, I just think it’s neat

Way of X (2021) #3-5

X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation (2021) #1

Legion of X (2022) #1-4

A.X.E.: Judgement Day (2022) #4 - David’s appearance here is not really David but another character taking on David’s form to attempt to communicate with Charles, it’s still a great read to get a look at David and Charles’ relationship in this era of comics

Legion of X (2022) #5

This list is updated to reflect the current publications as of 5. October. 2022! As Legion of X is still being published it will not take long for this list to be out of date. I’ll come back to update it again when I have the time!

For ‘Fleishman Is in Trouble,’ Claire Danes and Jesse Eisenberg Say I Do

In “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” Claire Danes and Jesse Eisenberg play two halves of a splintered couple.Credit...Thea Traff for The New York Times

The actors share a doomed union in this new FX series. In a joint interview, they discuss their own marriages and how it felt to depict such a contentious one.

By Alexis Soloski

Nov. 4, 2022

Marriage, the actress Claire Danes insisted, means sacrificing certain freedoms.

“That’s one of the great gifts of it,” she said. “But sometimes that shoe feels a little snug. There are moments when you’re like, ‘Actually, I would go in a different direction here.’”

“For me, I’m just so happy to have a shoe on,” said Jesse Eisenberg, her work husband.

In “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” FX’s limited series adaptation of Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s 2019 novel, Danes, 43, and Eisenberg, 39, star as Rachel and Toby Fleishman. Long married and recently separated, the Fleishmans — she’s a high-powered talent agent; he’s a hepatologist — inhabit the upper echelons of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The first two episodes arrive on Hulu on Nov. 17, with a new episode each Thursday for six more weeks. (Brodesser-Akner, who wrote seven of the eight episodes, is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine.)

On a recent afternoon, Danes (“Homeland,” “The Essex Serpent”) and Eisenberg (“The Social Network,” “When You Finish Saving the World”) met in an office at FX’s Manhattan headquarters with a “Fleishman”-like view of mid-rises and water towers. Danes is married to the actor Hugh Dancy, Eisenberg to the educator Anna Strout. But for about six months — despite having met only once more than a decade before, when Eisenberg was extremely high — they had to pretend to be married to each other in a show that shadows one union from early courtship to eventual implosion and beyond, tracing its breakdown with granular specificity and occasional double vision.

The novel argues that “beyond your point of view lies an abyss with a bubbling cauldron of fire, and that just beyond that abyss lies your spouse’s point of view.” And so the show stages some scenes from Rachel’s point of view and some from Toby’s. (The pilot was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, executive producers who are themselves married.)

How was it playing a couple locked in a cycle of neglect, reproach and retaliation? “Very comfortable actually,” Danes said, kicking off her Jimmy Choos. Eisenberg, on the opposite end of the sofa, agreed: “She’s the greatest.”

They had a terrific work marriage, Danes confirmed, while “depicting a very bad, unhealthy, unnatural one.”

In an hour’s chat, as the autumn light outside the window turned the city golden, the two actors discussed marriage, divorce and dodgeball. These are excerpts from the conversation.

Did you know each other before this?

JESSE EISENBERG We did.

CLAIRE DANES I didn’t remember.

EISENBERG It’s a funny story.

DANES Tell the story.

EISENBERG My [future] wife took me to some benefit thing in Brooklyn, probably 15 years ago. I was the most stoned I’ve ever been. I was just talking to this woman, and I’m like, “I’ve met my soul mate.” I ran over to Anna. I was like, “That woman is amazing.” She was like, “That’s Claire Danes, good luck.”

So you met once. Then suddenly here you are, married. This show is such an intimate appraisal of a marriage. Can anyone on the outside ever understand what goes on inside a marriage?

DANES I think the people in it barely understand, and it changes over time. It is an astonishing invention. It’s imperfect. But I personally don’t have a better model. I am attracted to it and fascinated by it and find it a very worthwhile pursuit. It’s a way to continue exploring who you are and where you are.

EISENBERG It’s also an attractive prospect for me. The alternative is not interesting or desirable. My wife and I have had probably the same dynamic for the many, many years we’ve been together, the same arguments and the same joys. The TV show presents that. Except that this is a doomed marriage.

DANES In my actual relationship, when we were met with a certain level of stress that we were ill equipped to cope with, we had to develop techniques and strategies and skills to become a better functioning couple. Our characters were not able to do that. They got swallowed by points on their continuum that were just too hard. And they didn’t have the self-awareness or the self-possession or the guts to be honest with each other. They just retreated further and further.

When you were preparing for these roles, did you sit down and map out what this relationship had been, what their history was?

DANES Not really. We had a few dinners with Taffy and the cast, which were valuable. And we had rehearsals, abbreviated but dense, which were really effective because of these exercises that Jon and Val offered us. Writing exercises, primarily, which was very annoying, because Jesse is an actual writer and an excellent one. I was like, this isn’t fair.

EISENBERG I thought iambic pentameter was appropriate!

DANES But it did provide a lot of insight. Then we played dodgeball. I was wearing clogs, which I don’t recommend.

What do you think Rachel and Toby saw in each other in the first place?

DANES They do, actually, really like each other. They have easy, happy chemistry. They probably share a sense of humor. And they did have similar values once upon a time. He was her first true friend ever. I don’t think she would have left him had he not insisted on it.

EISENBERG The thing that attracts you to the person is what’s different about them. But that’s also what becomes their undoing, because the chasm between my character’s value system and hers is too wide.

DANES Are your parents still together?

EISENBERG My parents are married.

DANES My parents, too. They’ve been married for 55 years or something like that? They met at 18. At RISD [Rhode Island School of Design]. And they’re still very in love.

So how was it being married to each other for the camera?

DANES Very joyful. I love working with Jesse. He’s very gifted and very present and profoundly, almost pathologically generous — truly, really. And just an amazingly playful partner. It was so much fun tearing into each other.

EISENBERG That felt right, too. It felt good.

DANES What’s extraordinary about the novel, and now this interpretation of it: It’s very comic, but it’s also quite raw and wrenching. Threading that needle is fun, but a challenge. Rachel was tough for me, because she was so intensely polished in some ways and so profoundly fractured in others. Figuring out how to coordinate that was the trick of it. There are episodes where we hear his account, then we get hers. We shot those scenes, one after the other — that was very strange. It was like an acting exercise. It’s a matter of degrees.

EISENBERG Exactly. She would be 10 percent more hateful, more stubborn. Then my character would be more aloof and unaware of her pain.

So these were small changes.

DANES But consequential.

Do you think you could be married to each other in real life?

EISENBERG When I met Claire at that benefit, I immediately ran over to tell my wife that yes, I could be married to that person.

DANES And he was right, in a way. A little prescient there.

Parts of the show are very light, very funny; other parts are more intense. Did you take any of that home with you?

DANES It’s funny: With “Homeland,” the character was so very other, so alien, it was easy to compartmentalize. I got a little cocky about it. This one was a lot closer, a lot more reminiscent. Playing a married person with kids, I was at greater risk of taking it home than I have been with other projects, which surprised me. I had a couple of fights with Hugh, and I was like, “Whoa, this is not to do with us.” So that was humbling. And mildly distressing. But once I became aware of it, it was fine.

EISENBERG I had the exact same thing. I would have these arguments that end with, “You’ve always done this,” which is how Toby accuses Rachel. You spend 12 hours a day having a certain very specific resentment. You take that home and the circumstances overlap enough to the point where you might accuse your loving, sweet partner of the same thing.

DANES But the appreciation for Hugh was also so heightened, because I was living in this hell. It was so painful and so terrifying, deeply destabilizing. We really do need relationships. We can’t really cope in isolation. It’s just not how we function. There’s something very moving about that.

EISENBERG As actors, you sometimes get to run these social experiments, playing a character that might overlap with you enough to give you a sense of what you would be like in these circumstances. This was a great example, because I’m quite similar to Toby.

DANES It’s a real privilege to be able to explore those particularly daunting, intimidating, scary zones, but in the land of make-believe. So relatively safely.

So did you perform the thought experiment of what life would be like if you were suddenly single?

DANES Very, very rarely. I don’t know. Doesn’t seem good.

EISENBERG I was just thinking about it because in terms of the show, he’s dating again. And he’s completely untethered. It didn’t feel tantalizing in any way — it felt exhausting and unsatisfying. I didn’t experience singleness in the modern era, where you’d be using technology to meet people. It increases both the options and paranoia.

DANES I would find that particularly intimidating. And unnerving. I don’t think I would do that very well.

Deep in the neighborhood

Walking around the neighbourhoods and clearing my mind has led me to many different places. Here, an apartment building in a neighbourhood. Built sometime during the early 1970s, every building has a nicely sized park next to it.

Taken with Olympus OM2000 film camera, with Tamron Adaptall-2 07A 28–‍50mm F3.5–‍4.5 compact zoom lens, on KosmoFoto Mono 100 black & white film. Developed in Adox FX-39 II developer, 1+9 dilution at 21.5°C. Scanned with Plustek OpticFilm 8100 film scanner.

There are some light leaks in the photo, I definitely have to check the camera for stripped and rotted light seals.

Development and future. These words define the meeting between the Commander of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), General Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior and the CEO of the Saab company, Micael Johansson, held on Tuesday (06/21), in Brasilia (DF).

Also present at the visit were the Director of Sales Gripen, Mikael Franzén; and the President of the Coordinating Committee of the Combat Aircraft Program, Air Brigadier Antonio Luiz Godoy Soares Mioni Rodrigues.

During the visit, held at the Air Force Command, Lieutenant General Baptista Junior emphasized the relevance of the partnership between Saab and the FAB, since the choice of Gripen in the FX-2 program. This synergy resulted in technology transfer to Brazilian industry, Embraer and other companies in the sector. "The presence of Saab's CEO represents the importance that the company gives to this long-term strategic partnership. May we continue to evolve and think about new products for the benefit of Brazil," said the Commander.

The meeting was essential to consolidate the cooperation signed between the FAB and the Swedish Defense and Security company, since the frameworks of a new contract for the second phase of the Gripen Project were discussed, which provides for the delivery of 26 more aircraft. At the time, topics such as architecture and the basic factors to be established at this stage of the Project were addressed.

On his visit, Micael Johansson congratulated the country on the work done by the FAB military and highlighted the importance of the meeting not only for today's business, but also for the next products. "It was a very productive conversation because we were able to discuss essential issues for all of us and also for the Air Force. We have an excellent partnership, and I believe that it involves industry, defense and strategy, providing subsidies so that together we can build a future based on force and air defense," he concluded.

Manny; Muse Info

“To love something that deep, it’s fucking terrifying. I didn’t become a man until I became a father.”

Full Name; Manny Nickname; None Face Claim; Manny Montana Gender; Male Pronouns; He/Him Marital Status; Single Sexuality; Bisexual Age; 39 Date Of Birth; September 26, 1983 Occupation; Unknown Faction; Mayans Motorcycle Club Title; Full Patch - Vice President Club Status; Active Murders Committed; 5 Residence; Yuma, Arizona Species; Human Family; Bella (daughter) Verses; None Side Note; Manny’s bio will obviously need to be rewritten. Biography; Manny was the Vice President of the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Yuma charter on Mayans MC, a spinoff of the FX original series Sons of Anarchy. Played by American actor Manny Montana. Manny first appears in the first episode of season four, "Cleansing of the Temple" he is a series regular until he meets his demise in the finale, "When the Breakdown Hit at Midnight". Manny was a member of the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Yuma charter. Initially a full patch, he later becomes Vice President after the death of then President Canche, and the Vice President role is vacated. He is married and has a young daughter. Manny is shown to be highly intelligent and fiercely loyal to his club and his family. Manny takes part in the assault on the Santo Padre clubhouse. He is able to get on to the roof of the clubhouse and attacks Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, he is able to overpower EZ and puts a gun to his head and tells EZ, "Sorry". Implying that he doesn't want a war with Santo Padre but is just following orders. He hesitates for a few moments and EZ is able to stab him in the chest and kick him off the roof. Four months after the war on Santo Padre, Manny is present during a Mayans meeting at the Santo Padre clubhouse along with the other charters. He attempts to make peace with EZ; who is uninterested at first. After describing the civil war as "bullshit" and describing to EZ an analogy that if the club stays divided they won't be ready for real enemies, he and EZ shake hands. Manny attends Templo at the Santo Padre clubhouse. Canche gives them a mission; to assist El Banquero in getting his accountant, Randall, over the border in to Mexico. Canche believes successfully completing the mission, which will be difficult, will lead to better relations between El Banquero and the Mayans, meaning increased profits for the club. EZ is up for the mission and Manny says he is familiar with the area, Angel Reyes is also roped in to assisting with the mission.Manny later congratulates EZ on becoming Vice President. Randall arrives with a young boy who is assumed to be his son. Manny tells him that there is no way they will bring a kid across the desert but Canche steps out and tells Randall there will be no problems. The trio of Angel, EZ and Manny ride in the back of Neron "Creeper" Vargas' van with Randall and Noah to the outskirts of the desert. Noah appears quite nervous and Manny and EZ attempt to keep the boy happy. The team trek through the desert in the night but are forced to stop and rest for the night when they see a vehicle patrolling. Manny strikes up a conversation with Angel, aware he is going to be a father soon. He gives Angel some fatherly advice and tells the brothers a story about Marcus Alvarez and how he heard that Alvarez had his own son killed for the club. Manny says he values family above everything and didn't realize it until his daughter was born. The three Mayans continue to bond before turning in for the night. Manny is awoken by a nearby gunshot and runs down the hill to see what has unfolded. Manny discovers that Angel has shot Randall in the chest. The horrifying truth emerges to EZ, Angel and Manny that Randall was molesting Noah, who isn't actually his son. EZ and Angel debate what to do but Manny puts a bullet in Randall and finishes him off. Stating that they will let the coyotes deal with Randall and they will get Noah's parents to pick him up. Back at the table, Canche is demanding answers for what went down, Manny tells Canche that he killed Randall. Outside Templo, Canche pulls Manny aside and tells him it's time to return home to the Yuma charter. Manny tells EZ that he will be leaving and Manny jokes that he "wouldn't change a thing, except maybe getting stabbed and kicked off a roof" and "getting stuck in the desert with a fucking paedophile". The pair shake hands and Manny departs. Manny returns to the Santo Padre club house upon hearing that the Sons were behind the hit on the Oakland clubhouse. He is shocked to learn that Santo Padre had no idea this was the case. He sits with EZ at the bar and EZ says that Marcus Alvarez, Santo Padre President and founder of the Mayans doesn't want a war. Manny laments that he is tired of waiting for retaliation and wants the Sons to pay and reminds EZ that he is VP now and he has to step up and lead. Manny sits at the Santo Padre table after confirmation that it was the Sons who attacked Oakland. Alvarez informs them that they will react but not right now as the club is still too divided. He wants to reach out to SAMCRO first. EZ bravely squares up to Alvarez and tells him they aren't waiting and will act now. He proposes a plan that the club will kill Les Packer, President of Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, San Bernardino who is currently in hospital undergoing chemotherapy and is unlikely to survive much longer. They take out Packer and they take out their leadership. Che "Taza" Romero remarks that it is a suicide mission and EZ agrees saying that is why he will do it along with Angel and Gilberto "Gilly" Lopez. Hank "Tranq" Loza pipes up and says that Gilly shouldn't go, he needs to stay and defend Santo Padre. Manny says he will take his place and the club is in agreement. Alvarez reminds EZ how dangerous this plan is but agrees nonetheless. EZ, Angel and Manny sit in a vehicle outside UC Davis, they monitor how many Sons are hanging around the hospital in various places. EZ lays out the plan, to simply go in and kill as many high-ranking Sons as possible. Angel doesn't like EZ's plan but he insists every time he tries to make a plan it goes wrong so he wants to keep it simple. They figure out that Packer is likely to be in the oncology ward so that is where they will head. Angel heads inside undercover and struggles to find the oncology ward, he eventually finds the floor and lets Manny and EZ in from the outside where they are waiting. They then head to the elevator, EZ suggests they go to the 8th floor and then back down the stairs to avoid any surprises. Ironically, as he says this the elevator arrives and opens and there are four Sons inside, upon seeing each other everyone reaches for their guns but the Mayans are more prepared and begin unloading on to the Sons, they appear to kill or seriously wound all of them. They begin to run in to the lobby but more Sons pour in upon hearing the gunshots. They begin to run blindly through the hospital and Manny decides he will split off and distract the new wave of Sons that have arrived. Manny is seen again ramming a row of Sons bikes to draw attention from EZ and Angel who are fleeing in a stolen car. He then flees in his stolen vehicle back to Oakland and contacts EZ and Angel to inform them of his safety. Manny sits in a diner with Dondo, Otero and Tex, an Oakland Mayan. Dondo discusses the suspicious death surrounding Canche and the other Mayans agree. Manny; still doesn't want to believe that Angel or EZ were responsible but the more he listens he comes around to the idea; knowing of the beef that EZ and Canche had. Suddenly a shot rings out and Dondo is blasted in the back by a Son, Hoosier and is killed instantly, other Sons surround the Mayans and take them captive. The three and the dead Dondo are taken to a field. It is revealed that Otero and Manny are the only surviving Mayans (Two burned corpses can be seen in the background, presumed to be Dondo and Tex, although not confirmed). The Son presiding over the executions we know as a man named Isaac Packer of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, San Bernardino.
