[The Mad Titan]

@Queen of the Dead this is some of what I was talking about with the growth and development of cyclops character.

But yeah on the topic this has always been the appeal of the xmen, and as a young black boy this is why i truly got into comic's. This along with spiderman gave me a realistic view on and angles on things i loved like in a fantasy setting. And its why DC never clicked with me like that.

Charles was a naive idiot who got a lot of mutants killed.

I still remember Alpha Flight and Gen 13 comics.

Fairchild and J Scott Campbell...tbe good ol days. Everyone wanted them to cross over with Monet and Gen X.

I knew there was a reason why i liked the x men series more than anything as far as comics went.
