Silly comic book names are something I came across at the store very frequently. I've got a buddy who named his son Logan after Wolverine - so it's definitely a thing..

I've known one Xavier for 15 or 16 years, and he was always Ex-avier

(I'm not judging. A guy at the comic store I used to work at swore up and down he was going to name his daughter Jubilation. Whenever he said it his wife's eyes would go a little blanker.)

Aside from being a comic book reference, Jubilation isn't that that weird, I knew a girl named Hallelujah (she went by Halley). Her parents weren't super religious so I always assumed they were just huge Leonard Cohen fans.

There's definitely some poor kids stricken with the names Gambit and Rogue. I'd put money on it.

Remy would be bad, but hopefully there's only an Annie Marie in that case. Still would be awkward now that they're married.

There's no way "Gambit Meyers" isn't the antagonist who's an old army rival to Chance Bordeaux (JCVD) from a lost Hard Target sequel from 1995 . Possibly played by Dolph Lundgren.

Why wouldn't you just name the girl Jubilee at that point, there's a poo poo ton of girls named Khaleesi right now, most of them can barely talk now but I worry about them in high school.

Nope. It was 'Jubilation Lee <last name' or nothing. Sadly she was born after I was laid off so I didn't get a proper conclusion to the tale.

I am interested in seeing how they get the X-men who haven't been hanging out for years assembled again to disassemble them immediately. That sounds sarcastic but it isn't.

Is adult cyclops alive again? I wouldn't be suprised to see them revive him only to kill him almost immediately again.

No, but they actually did that recently. The Phoenix resurrected him to tempt Jean then killed him again.

That was the best thing the Phoenix has ever done. Kill him as many times as you like and it wouldn't be enough.

Wolverine transitions to his rightful place as Marvel's lead villain by starting out a plan to make all the wolverine's on Earth's claws hot all the time.

I liked it too, especially that he was so unapologetic about it. "The world is better off with the X-Men in it, STFU you whiners", ha. Though it does feel a bit of a stretch from how Jean thought of him from the last time she saw him (in New X-Men I guess?)

I really enjoyed Extermination. Even though I'm one of the bigger supporters of the Young X-Men and them staying and knowing this will lead to them leaving.
