There's not really a good couple of panels or even pages to sum it all up, but Bendis' whole Daredevil arc with him being publicly outed is really good and deals with secret identities in a way that I don't think any other comic has really done before or since. It starts in Daredevil Vol 2. #26 if you want to read it, but I do absolutely love the cover of issue #32



I loved this run and this is one of my favorite sections from it:

I think that for as divisive as "Planet X" was and as clumsily as the character was handled post-Morrison, the actual issue that reveals Xorn's secret was really well paced and does a killer job of setting up a mounting sense of dread. I remember reading that issue when it was new and my hands shaking by the last page.

The Xorn reveal was absolutely loving incredible, the high watermark of Morrison's run on X-Men (which I absolutely adored all of).

It's been a long time since I read it, but if I remember correctly Magneto was using a drug (which itself was generated by a mutant, or actually the mutant WAS the drug? I can't exactly remember) that upped his powers but made him dangerously unstable mentally which was the explanation for why he was pulling the dumb poo poo?

That was the wrap-up of Morrison's time on the series I believe, and I think it was less than a single issue later that they'd completely removed every new setup he'd created and reset things to the standard X-Men status quo from before Morrison's time on the series. I think House of M and then No More Mutants was not long after that?
