"dying" on national television and then having no contact with your bereaved husband for months afterwards pretty much removes one's right to a "how could you?!?"
When did Madelyne do this? When Scott left her for Jean, she was alive.
Yeah. He's my hero.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

That whole story was a mess, wasn't it? I mean, Scott did go chasing after Jean when she turned up alive, even if they weren't romantically involved again at first.

I thought Scott didn't become romantically involved with Jean (again) until after Madelyne and the X-Men "died" fighting that lame Trickster adversary in Dallas, got sucked through Roma's Siege Perilous for an identity makeover, and relocated to Australia.

Hey. New board.
And people wonder why I'm afraid to try to figure out the X-men continuity...
Think I'll stick with Astonishing and Ultimate, and just let my continuity issues slide...

Here's the discussion, Matt:
Leaving your wife and kid? Why not?
Scott would never. He has issues about that. His father abandoned him and Alex and their mom to go superheroing about the galaxy.
I wasn't diving into sleeping with Jean. Just abandoning his family.

Actually, Corsair didn't abandon his wife -- she was killed in front of him by the Shi'ar Emperor. And the last he saw of his kids they were jumping out of a plane with only one parachute between them.
I miss Rachel Summers. The Summers family reunions must be like The Ice Storm, only with superpowers and aliens included.

Scott got abandonment issues anyway. He's good like that. It was a bit of a reconciliation process.
No need to miss Rachel. She's around.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I miss Rachel Summers.
Yeah, I was looking at one of my old X-men and it took me a second to remember her whole history with the psychic-hound alternafuture thing. Which was gloriously fucked up and interesting.

She's back, in one of the X-books. The Summers family tree reads like a Stephen Hawkings essay.

To be fair, that happens with a lot of children who lose their parents very early.

Well, spell it out for me. Who's who and when does Jean resurrect?
