Then (and only then) we get a single-panel glimpse of the whole team together, exchanging a quick sequence of character-defining dialogue. All of this occurs over the course of just 6 pages, telling the readers pretty much all they ever need to know about Excalibur in depth 10/10

And, finally, the next page has Rachel stepping in to gleefully finish the job of Cain whilst exhibiting her psi-powers and showcasing their transcendence over the raw physical abilities of the otherwise unstoppable Juggernaut. 9/10

Late in the run, Claremont debuted Jubilee, a character whose bombast functions as a thin veil for deep insecurity and vulnerability. In “Generation X,” Scott Lobdell largely departed from that in order to take Jubilee from a dependent sidekick to a central heroine. 3/8

As UXM grew ever darker and deeper, Kurt Wagner stood out as a rare joyous character in an often bleak series, someone who relished the role of showman, and though Claremont at times punished him for this, he also found spaces to let Kurt thrive. 1/8

In terms of the romance, Claremont leaves it open, simply explaining that the pair spent some wonderful time together as teens. He only reveals that this time was profound, joyous, and spurred a romantic interest. 8/9

The story is framed around a generic white colonizer (safari hat and all) who holds a lifelong grudge against the pair. Claremont does, however, incorporate some interesting symbolism on the futility of racially-based hatred. 7/9

The idea that the two most prominent black superheroes at Marvel knew each other as kids (despite hailing from entirely different countries) is a big coincidence. The idea that they bumped into each other outside of either of those countries is a ludicrous coincidence. 5/9

“I was not satisfied reading narratives of Storm doling out the occasional lightning bolt or wind-storm at the best of her husband. Storm claimed space as a powerful, decisive, and moral leader; it was hard accepting her as a submissive follower who knew her ‘assigned’ place” 3/9

The simple point here is that Ororo’s punk transformation was not about making the character badass or angry or edgy. Those are – at best – superficial interpretations and more likely misconceptions. Going punk showed Ororo’s growth of character through commitment to herself. 8/8

The punk movement emphasized androgyny as a rejection of gender norms. We see this quite clearly in Storm’s transformation, which comes directly after a pair of life-changing encounters with two of Claremont’s most androgynous characters at the time: Callisto and Yukio. 4/8
