Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
Can someone provide more information about Layla Miller? I don't know much about her, but from what I read, it sounds like she is a contemporaneous mutant, who has traveled to the future, and then returned to the present. At a glance, it doesn't appear to me that she is from an alternate timeline or from the future.

I didn't know. I just threw a random title out there and hoped it was correct. I just googled the title I guessed and a swing and a miss!

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
I'm going to challenge this one. I did a lot of searching, cause I was curious as to why there was so little information about her. It turns out (as best as I was able to find) that she only ever appeared once, in a novel and not a comic book.
http://www.comicvine.com/rachel-grey/29-3566/
http://www.mauspfeil.net/Dream_(Marvel%20comics).html
The novel was Time's Arrow: The Future:
http://www.amazon.com/Times-Arrow-Fu.../dp/0425165000
Using the "Search Inside this book" feature, it appears that she was only ever referred to as "Dream" but the last name that she chose or uses is never mentioned within the book. That's why there's so much confusion in all the various Wiki's as to whether her name is Dream Summers, Dream Richards-Summers, or Dream Richards; because people are just guessing.
I'd argue that between the original source material being a novel, and that her last name is never given in the original source material, that the answer is wrong for this reverse sheep.

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
Is it an alternate past? (Is that even a thing)? The question specifically asks about the future and/or alternate timelines -- I'm not reading the All-New X-Men, but my understanding is that the cast is the original X-Men from our timeline brought forward in time to today. So unless there's some other alternate timeline Cyclops out there, I would not count it as correct.

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
Stuck at work so can't type a lot but how on earth (616) could an alternate dimension not be considered to have an alternate timeline - if nothing else time there moves differently as shown by Longshot/Mojo/Spiral's ages and how events transpire there different than on 616.
An alternate dimension is something that happens within the same universe and timeline, but just in a different physical space that can't be accessed normally. Think of Mister Mxyzptlk, who lives in the 5th dimension and sometimes travels to our dimension to torment Superman.
I think this sentence also helps explain it:
Shatterstar comes from the planet Mojoworld (about a century in the future, as opposed to the Mojoverse which co-exists with the contemporary Earth dimension, making him a time traveler as well as a dimension-hopper)

I couldn't think of anything Valiant has done, and I couldn't think of a funny answer either. Although I just now thought of one... Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. (That was actually a four issue miniseries Marvel made in the 1980s which was based on the similarly named animated cartoon series. I actually did have those comics when I was a kid.)

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
If you were reading comics in the early 90's, Valiant was all the rage. At the height of the speculator boom, certain Valiant issues were getting by far the highest prices of anything current at the time. My understanding is that the early issues from the beginning of the line were all pretty good too.

Re: Comic/Super-Hero Sheep NOW!
Then wouldn't Cyclops be right using that logic, since him and Jean Grey traveled to the future and raised him? Or any other X-Man that traveled into the future and returned at some point?

Second, I think you're right. Her origin was in the alternate House of M timeline, but it was clear that she was from the mainstream timeline and was the only one who remembered it. She also traveled into future and came back much older, but she's still a 616 character.
Third, the Dakota Fanning character in "Push" is totally a ripoff of Layla Miller.

Hi guys! 
My name's Obi-Wan Jabroni. That's me. So whenever you guys say Obi-Wan Jabroni, you're clearly talking about me.

An alternate timeline would be a timeline where you have the same characters and places, but they might have happened in a different way, thus causing a divergence in events.
An alternate dimension is something that happens within the same universe and timeline, but just in a different physical space that can't be accessed normally. Think of Mister Mxyzptlk, who lives in the 5th dimension and sometimes travels to our dimension to torment Superman.
