Production

Background

Mystery's lineup changed drastically from their previous album, Theatre of the Mind, and had only two of the same members from that album. Bassist Richard Addison left the band in 1994 after finishing his parts for Theatre of the Mind and was replaced by Patrick Bourque, who played as a session musician on the album. Keyboardist Benoît Dupuis and acoustic guitarist and saxophonist Michel Painchaud left the band in 1995, leaving the band with four members. Then, drummer Stéphane Perreault left during the recording sessions for Destiny?. Gilles Peltier, the owner of a studio at which Mystery was recording knew Steve Gagné and suggested him as at least a temporary replacement for Perreault so the current album could be finished. Gagné was given three songs to learn in a short time frame and when his recording of the tracks was heard, it impressed Michel St-Père and Gary Savoie very much, leading Gagné to become a full time member of the band.

As far back as 1981, Claremont had intended Destiny to be the lover of Brotherhood of Mutants teammate Mystique, and had originally intended for Destiny and Mystique to be Nightcrawler's biological parents, with Mystique taking the form of a man for the conception. However, at that time, the Comics Code Authority and Marvel policy prohibited the explicit portrayal of gay or bisexual characters. Destiny was simply referred to as the only member of the new Brotherhood that Mystique saw as a friend; all the other members being male and prone to arguing amongst each other. Much later, the two were confirmed to have been a couple.
