It’s also of course, a big step down in terms of power and prominence for Mystique, a character whose combination of intelligence, deviousness, and networking made her one of Claremont’s most formidable villains. Here she becomes Forge’s dependent. 6/9

Once Claremont left, however, all of this changed. Forge immediately fell into the same mistakes, Mystique underwent a heteronormative conversion, and the feud between them dissolved into an almost romantic pairing instead. 4/9

It just struck me why Chris Claremont made Madelyne Pryor a pilot. and were right.

Kitty’s skills with computers would come up extensively throughout Claremont’s run thereafter but usually as a sort of convenient narrative tool to move from A to B. Doug’s seeming integration with Warlock, however, would take that a step further. 9/9

“People are not picking up the book to see the action,” Claremont explains. “People are picking up the book to see the characters. The most memorable fan letters I would get would be from people who said, ‘What I see with these fictional characters are moments, behaviours,…” 2/4

Rogue and Gambit have become an iconic Marvel Couple, and though it wasn’t Claremont who developed the romance between these two characters that he created, the author did script their first flirtation in the pages of X-Men 3. 1/8

What do you think Chris Claremont's biggest "post-return after leaving in '91" contribution to the X-Men? The Sage retcon? Destiny's diaries?

In UXM 142, Claremont uses Storm’s relationship with Wolverine to validate Ororo’s new role as the leader of the X-Men at a time when no female superhero had ever been appointed the leader of a mainstream superhero team. 1/5

Through this depiction, Claremont gives us a superhero whose priorities simply don't include superherodom. Xi’an is wildly overpowered, yet more or less disinterested. It’s a fascinating subversion that adds something to the spectrum of different motivations on the team. 8/8

First and most obviously, her backstory is truly horrific. She debuts in Marvel Team-Up co-created by Claremont and Frank Miller with a backstory connected to the Indochina Refugee Crisis. Her parents died shipboard, and Xi’an was subjected to sexual assault. 2/8

I've been making my way through the Claremont run in the X-Men Omnibi- I'm up to Inferno & was struck by this great dream sequence teeing up Madelyne Pryor's transformation into the Goblin Queen, it so perfectly, surreal-ly presents her loss of identity at the return of Jean Grey
