I really like Injustice Harley. Not just that scene, but her characterization as a broken person trying really hard to be better.

She may be the best version of the character, honestly. It always makes me smile when I see the Injustice 2 version with the bat symbol on her jacket. Mostly because, Red Hood idiocy aside, that symbol means something, and Bruce wouldn't let her wear it if he didn't believe in her. So it symbolises both how far she's come, how hard she's worked to process and live with her trauma, and also says a lot about the Injustice-verse Batman and how much he DOES believe in redemption.

So I wasn't imagining the weirdness surrounding Kitty Pryde during this time period? She seemed to phase out of her clothes on a regular basis when Claremont was writing.
And was also the occasional victim of vore.

Step-brother.

Every time I think about the Juggernaut, I think of what he looked like in his first appearance or two vs what he turned into in the 90s. Skinny dude who had armor into the Hulk on steroids with a bodysuit.

They should bring back his exposed legs.



We need more man gams in comics.

And it's cool his costume has changed so little since his debut. Just gave him pants.

They really only changed how muscular his arms were drawn - he was big in his first appearances. One might say, too big for his britches.

Aren't they all from different points on what's hypothetically the same timeline? The Summers include siblings from explicitly contradictory timelines and sometimes alternate versions of the same person at the same time.

What's the extra axis mathematicians use to describe stuff that's more than 3 dimensional? That's what the Summers/Grey need.

And that has to be a different Rachel Summers than the one that's hanging around in 616. But Adult Franklin is a reality manipulator on par with any of the other ones, so that just gets way too confusing.

Where did all the Summers goofiness start? At face value, Cyclops and his power and personality do not seem to warrant such confusing timelines and family stuff at all. I remember even in the X-men cartoon, Mr. Sinister especially wants Summers DNA for some reason.

His space pirate father must have been a huge step.

I think a combination of space pirate father and once Jean started coming back from the dead regularly, most of the wackiness started with her death and Madeline Pryor showing up looking like a clone of Jean and then you started to get a whole bunch of time-lost kids like Rachel as Phoenix in Excalibur, and Cable and Stryfe. At that point there's so many clones and time travel and poo poo happening that future writers just took that ball and ran with it.

The Summers tree would not be what it is if Jean wasn't involved. Cyclops himself is kind of incidental to the whole thing.

Inferno is probably the boiling point, since that's where Mr. Sinister gets involved on both sides of the family tree.

I feel like it's mentioned somewhere, maybe in Excalibur, that Rachel Summers is unique across all timelines. There's only ever one Rachel Summers/Grey/Grey-Summers.
