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...
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Hey. New board.

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

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

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?

Dude, Scott could lose his dad in a mall today and sulk for weeks. Don't tell me he wouldn't.
The Summers family tree reads like a Stephen Hawkings essay.
Especially when you get to the bit where the aging Rachel raises her younger brother.
Or something.

And Cable fits in how?
(I hate Cable almost as much as I hate J---a R-----s.)

First stab at tree:
- Scott & Jean get together
- Jean "dies"
- The Phoenix Force assumes her form, goes nuts, dies
- Scott meets, marries, and impregnates her Sinister-grown clone
- Nathan is born
- Jean comes back to life
- Scott leaves Maddy and Nate for Jean
- Nate is kidnapped
- Maddy comes to the X-Men to get him back
Somewhere in there is:
- Rachel (kid of Scott and Jean) comes back from the future
- Rachel is traumatised by there being a son before her
- Rachel makes it so her future doesn't happen
Rachel also gets thrown way into the future along with a rescued Nate, who she raises, and then he comes back into our present and becomes Cable.
Jean sees a future in which her existence causes Beast to go Dark, so she commits suicide by Magneto.
