The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

When perceived through the lens of Critical Disability Studies, Nightcrawler’s ongoing struggle with a traumatic physical injury is rare in both its scope and depth, creating an important and humanizing representation of a disabled superhero. @GoshGollyWow #xmen 1/9

Unpacking Nightcrawler’s objectification requires unpacking objectification. His example is a forceful reminder that no image is singular or binary. Each is a constellation of possibilities to be worked through in conversation with history & culture, ourselves & each other. 11/11

But who's looking & how still matters. Scholar Neil Shyminsky argues the mutant metaphor can allow dominant groups to “misidentify themselves as the Other.” Kurt epitomizes this danger; his free-floating difference is ripe for both identification & appropriation. 9/11

As Dani imagines challenging Death for the life of her childhood friend, her power forms Death into the image of a cowboy, the archetypal opponent of Indigenous people in the Western imaginary. When the real Death appears to console Dani, it’s as an Indigenous elder. 9/10

Of course, Dani’s sense of cultural affiliation is subject to external forces as well, such as the horrific racism that she’s subject to at the hands of her white peers. It’s not simply a matter of which culture she likes best – acceptance and hostility factor in too. 8/10

All of this is consistent with Piotr’s treatment of Illyana moving forward. His love for her is without question, but he’s quite capable of condescension and denial, thus putting a sort of boundary between the siblings that might not always be in her best interest. 10/10

Piotr’s reaction is both affirming and a little condescending. He says she’ll always be his sister and that “Little Snowflake, a braver, truer, lovelier girl does not exist on this planet – or any other!” Thus, his acceptance of Illyana’s secret is a little superficial. 8/10

This process, of course, reveals her secret to her brother, whilst saving him, thus setting a context for heroic sacrifice that validates the revelation. This is further enhanced by the fact that her magic armour continues to consume her with each use of her powers. 4/10

In the story, the X-Men find themselves outmatched by a magical entity. Nightcrawler recruits his sorceress girlfriend, Amanda Sefton (later ‘Daytripper’) to aid them, but it isn’t enough. Illyana arrives on scene, however, and quickly turns the tide in the X-Men’s favour. 3/10

Claremont then takes up this thread in Excalibur by presenting Jamie as a Proteus-like villain with the power to alter reality (to a seemingly limitless extent). Unlike Proteus, however, Jamie has no connection to reality, believing instead that he is in a dream. 3/7
