Love a good Fantastic Four origin story retelling, especially one that reexamines how horrifying it must've been for Johnny to burst into flames for the first time. This isn't on Claremont's level, but it IS good, and the art is very pretty.

Yes Claremont mentioned he could do that if I remember which built him up to be probably one of the most powerful characters created, but then again he didn't make him out to be really a villain either. :)

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

Claremont first created Jamie in the pages of ‘Captain Britain Weekly’ as the elder brother of Brian and his twin sister Betsy (Psylocke). Thereafter, Jamie Delano put together a story in which Jamie is tortured to madness for slave-trading. Brian abandons him. 2/7

Longshot & Dazzler ! 80ties power ! J'adorais ce couple et la période où ils faisaient partie des X-Men ❤

The relationship between Kate and Colossus was an arranged relationship, forced on readers due to Marvel's no gay character policy. Reading those old Claremont stories reinforces what said when seeing Kate and Illyana's interactions, "those girls are gay!"

Speaking to character consistency and distinctive voices, Claremont’s Colossus is repeatedly presented as someone who struggles with big emotions to match his big physique, but routinely stifles and represses said emotions beneath a veneer of stoicism. 1/10

Today in 1982, the New Mutants debuted in Marvel Graphic Novel by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod!

Looking back on some Marvel favorites from my trade/hardcover collection and Roger Stern’s name kept popping up and I realized how much I’ve enjoyed his stories over the years. He and Claremont were levels above the other Marvel writers of the time.

I saw some people commenting on this line; its my nod to Claremont-era X-Men where Storm called team members little brother/little sister. Not sure if they still do that in modern X-Men!

...a book for children, and a cruel twist for Claremont to put the character through even if she is swiftly rescued by Charles and Carol.

Illyana wakes in the infirmary, screaming that she won't be made a slave again, and breaks down in joy with the realization that, for the...

Happy Birthday, !!

He’s drawn many comics I’ve loved, but this may still be my favorite. Kudos to the entire creative team.

...Claremont has chosen Roberto, the second-most visible (well, only other in 1987) Black main character across both of his titles.

While it certainly feels like the logical extreme conclusion of Berto's rage throughout the series, the book's indulgence of the mutant metaphor...

...the story's marginalized class.

Children with genetic potential are stolen from their parents, humans exist as a literal underclass and live in a heavily policed state.

It is the wrong future–and given Claremont's assumption that readers have identified with the mutants...

Then, Classic X-Men 11 features a backup story where Claremont explores a writer (who is an obvious surrogate for Claremont himself) contemplating suicide before being saved – essentially – by meeting Storm, though for how long that will last is left unclear. 11/12

Madelyne Pryor has to be literally talked down from jumping off a cliff by Havok. Captain Britain expresses suicidal thoughts on multiple occasions. He might be Claremont’s deepest exploration of the concept of suicidal ideation. 10/12

Along those same lines, Claremont’s portrayal of a physically and spiritually exhausted Logan late in the run is referenced as a death-wish by multiple characters, though Logan’s mutant-enhanced longevity might complicate a connection to suicidal ideation. 5/12
