Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel not much sympathy for anyone that wants to get into Cyke's pants. I give Jean a break because he was tempted by Wolverine, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've been reading through all the classic X-Men comics on my computer. I'm up to 1981. (Dear God, Kitty's self-designed costume is hideous. Granted, it's meant to be, but yeesh. And Dazzler just hurts my brain, and not in a good way.) The early years were really, really painful. In fact, I skimmed through a lot of the issues and found a site that had summaries. Even now, there's a cheese-factor to a lot of the storylines I have to ignore, but overall I'm enjoying them. Liked the Pheonix and Dark Pheonix storylines. Was somewhat surprised to find out that Wolverine hasn't really been made that much darker over the years. He started off as a blood-thirsty, smoking, short-tempered, scoundrel.

But it's definitely interesting actually reading all the stuff I pretty much knew second-hand from the cartoons, friends, and the occasional comic. Of course, a lot of my time is spent waiting for the ret-cons to crop up as I run into things that contradict the X-verse as it is now.

I know I'm alone here (and pretty much everywhere) but Cyclops really doesn't bother me. He's not my favorite character, but I don't have any dislike for him either.

The whole Maddy Pryor thing grates for me, Kalshane. And the retcon failed to mitigate that.

Maddy Pryor? Not familiar with who/what that is.

After Jean's death, Cyclops meets and marries and has a child with Madeline Pryor. Then Jean comes back, and Mr. Summers dumps her and the kid without a backward glance to get back into Jean's pants. Cad.

Ah. Okay, yeah, I can see that as being a big problem.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I know I'm alone here

No, but I didn't know about the Madeline Pryor thing either. They were still an item when I stopped reading.

I think they retconned it by saying it was the Goblin Queen messing with his mind, but it was too late to erase my emotional response. Plus clunky.
