The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

The third is “Huntsman” who Claremont describes as “ultimate teacher – show pix or any possession/article of clothing of prey, he can find ‘em – combination of physical & psychic skills.” 4/6

Kurt’s arc of maturing into a leadership position had run its course in UXM (which already had its share of capable leaders). Moving him to Excalibur to take up his own leadership role made sense, and Longshot is thus something of a maturity reset, naïve as he is. 9/10

Claremont did not create Longshot. Instead, right when Kurt would be departing the team (the two characters overlapped for just one annual), Claremont imported Longshot from a titular miniseries by Ann Nocenti and Art Adams that had failed to produce an ongoing. 3/10

This is consistent with widely held definitions of stereotype, such as those of David Theo Goldberg, who argues “The set of representations thus constructed and catalogued in turn confines those so defined within the constraints of the representational limits” 5/7

The suggestion is that Kitty has transferred a symbolic archetype onto Storm, intuitively, but -like all stereotypes- it’s one that limits Storm’s ability to operate as an individual with agency, rather than someone who simply internalizes the roles that others expect of her. 4/7

“Despite the many routes they have taken in matters of work and family, Black women have been associated with mothering other people’s children, particularly White children, since the era of slavery.” 3/7

Carrington argues: “In the spectacle of Storm’s transformation, her relationship to young Kitty Pryde models the ways in which White Americans have learned to perceive women of African descent as caretakers.” 2/7

Of all those impacted by Storm’s transformation from Goddess to Punk, Kitty Pryde took it hardest, perceiving it as a betrayal. Interestingly, scholar André M. Carrington sees this as a symbolically important disentanglement of Storm from a Black caregiver stereotype #xmen 1/7

“My idea had been - I always wanted Magneto to turn out to be Professor X’s brother. If I had stayed on the book, that’s what I would have done…Another thing I wish I had thought of was that whole Phoenix story. That was really brilliant.” 3/3

Return-home-pain surfaces a lot in DPS, from characters reflecting on their past, to revisitations of old group dynamics (which inevitably fail), to a literal return home, in which Phoenix finds that she is no longer welcome in her childhood abode. 4/10
