Is Jubes still a Dracula? She is sure making a weird face on that cover, as if she had just eaten some festival dumplings or something.

If only they had 6 mutants who could enhance and supercharge other mutant's powers.

By performing this ritual, Wolverine would rise again as a Super Mutant God, and Laura would have to train with Whis to become a Super Mutant God Super Mutant, which will turn her hair blue.

That ridiculous scene in Gold where he gets beaten to "death" by a mob of fearful New Yorkers who think he's a demon (and for some reason doesn't teleport away) and then is angstily like, "Heaven will not accept me...I cannot die..." is just the blurst.

Hasn't he been on TV?

What are they doing with Armor lately?

The unreasonable hate and fear mutants deal with always seems way less unreasonable when something like a baby that can melt flesh by crying shows up. Why do writers keep doing things like that?

Creative bankruptcy.

What would be more interesting would be to look at other twists on this stuff. Mutant superfans. People trying to adopt a mutant identity ("I got an eleventh toe!"). Polluting-rear end companies saying that actually they're doing their workers a favor because who wouldn't want to be like the Guthries with at least two beautiful bouncin' mutant children? etc.

It immediately took me out of Red when the torch and pitchfork lynch mob, which itself was pretty absurd, had literal pitch torches. That, and Jean appealing to the UN to recognize mutants as some extranational unified entity which I guess she just declared herself representative of (in an admittedly good speech) made absolutely zero sense. Are the X-Men ISIS now?

Mutants are a presumably-ubiquitous minority group with needs (mostly of the 'please do not murder us or use us for biological research or evil schemes' sort) so I can see having some kind of... representative, of some kind. Some kind of international agreement even if it's just "mutants, even if very ugly, are human beings legally equal to flatscans."

Yeah but that�s one more than old Iceman.

I don't know, I always found him to be cool.

The Claremontism I remember most clearly, circling overhead like a great predatory bird, was "a body" used as a third-person expression. This is one thing when it's about milk but it was about sex thirst and... actually mostly sex thirst, but then again, Claremont.

She mentioned feelings of attraction towards another woman when talking to a telepath and I do not think that was meant as a goof (or at least, not primarily as a goof).

Magnus used to be as close to we knew as his real name, especially given it was coming from Chuck who knew him best.

Magneto is his real name; it is just not the one his parents gave him.

One of the reasons that Rachel is one of my faves is not only did she help solve the problem she came back for, but she realized she had the near omnipotent power so she had the responsibility to go back and fix her present, and did that too.

But they are always about ignoring everything Excalibur did which I guess I understand in a way because comics abhor solved problems and Alan Davis basically solved all the problems that everyone went into Excalibur with.

Excalibur seems like Marvel's Legion of Super-Heroes, it's stuff that's THERE and has had impact but is kind of coralled in its own little brexited ghetto for the most part. I'm sure it also has fanatical devotees. (I'm one.)

I thought it was dumb when I first read it but I dunno on rereads it feels like it makes sense, at least when Claremont or Davis is writing.

Claremont and Davis had a shared sort of breathless-adventure energy which makes a lot of these things work - I'd actually say Davis was better at it since I think he was also significantly less horny, or at least channeled it better. The whole lighthouse/linchpin thing also meant that the hilarious weird random chance made more sense.

It's interesting to read the Excalibur stuff that Davis wrote and drew later on. He's clearly having a ball with it. Nightcrawler trying to lead the Technet as the new Excalibur briefly is a delight.

The Technet loving own, I reckon, I was so glad to see them in that Rocket mini. I bet they're hard to draw and would slow down productions.

And she lives in a sewer by choice? The Morlocks are really badly conceived in general, given the time period they were created they should have been in a Brooklyn tenement

If there were enough of them, why, they might found some kind of Mutant Town.

Wolverine isn't a mutant, he's part of a race of wolf people.

They're called "Canadians," Rhyno.
