...Kitty's best friends, it makes sense that a friendship has developed between the two (and that Illyana would be so protective of him).
When Doug questions how they're to explain Illyana's actions to Xavier, she shoots back, sarcastic as ever: "tell them I used black magic?"
While Scott and Maddie's plane seems fated for trouble, we cut back to Westchester, where Doug cracks jokes alongside Illyana at local diner.
Outside of their scenes in the New Mutants signaling them as teammates, Doug and Yana haven't had too many interactions, but as two of...
...of inviting you all along for the ride!
It's been quite some time since the Run paid Alpha Flight a visit, and in the intervening years, John Byrne has evolved the characters beyond the set dressing they served in their Uncanny appearances.
For a limited series...
Hello and welcome back everyone! (Or, welcome to any new followers entertained by my Madelyne Pryor jokes!) Today, we're reading X-Men/Alpha Flight #1!
To catch anyone new up, (just about) every day I read through an issue of Claremont's Run on the Uncanny X-Men with the hope...

Anywho, Kitty makes a final stand against the wicked White Queen...
...to be pointed out. Ahem. And two, that even without her mutant abilities, the once-weather witch contains multitudes of strength and will.
After tracking down Lockheed, the ragtag group of space pirates is again ambushed by the White Queen, leading to the explosion of...
...manages to convince Ororo to take up flight to rescue Lockheed, even if she is the woman who can no longer fly.
It's the correct appeal to make to Ororo–one, that she once honored the sanctity of life, and two...
...wait. I'm sorry. Lockheed has a dragon harem & it needed...
...a heavy hand in pointing out Ororo's hopelessness to herself (but, to be fair, she did learn manners from an allegorical Satan).
No matter who's telling the story, be it Claremont or Illyana, Kitty will always be given an opportunity to dramatically monologue, and the girl...
