One of Claremont’s most consistent approaches to character is to build their identities around dualities, with each X-Man embodying what seems, on the surface, like contradictory attributes. 1/5

In Claremont’s rough early planning notes, he lists the key developments or antagonists of his future issues. Planning ahead beyond what would be his actual tenure, his notes list “Bobby – Jean – Death” as the main thrust of UXM an issue he never got to actually write.

Me at 40 to my 15 year old self: “and during this pandemic, will arguably be the best they’ve been since Claremont, but the hero is Apocalypse, Krakoa is home, and Logan went to hell”

Me, back: Ha! Crazy old man... Logan going to hell is the only think that makes sense 🤣

Claremont connects this latter aspect directly to Scott’s abandonment, with Madelyne telling the Genegineer “I am what I am. What men like you have made me.” She then leaves him broken in Sinister’s costume, foreshadowing the truth we don’t yet know: Sinister made her. 7/12

Claremont even has her function as the moral compass of the arc, allowing Madelyne to deliver the moral of the story to the Genegineer. That duality is fascinating – a damned character committed to betrayal and destruction, who is still the voice of righteousness here. 5/12

The Genoshan Saga stands on its own as a powerful and compelling story (Jason Powell calls it Claremont’s best), but the B-story is the Goblin amongst them, and watching Madelyne embody both good and evil adds a lot of nuance to her Inferno character. 3/12

Always building character, however, Claremont uses the simple confrontation to seed looming interior problems for each of the X-Men involved: 3/11

isn’t it funny how this is one of grandpappy claremonts major complaints of Krakoa when it’s addressed before Dawn of X even starts

I really must come back and do some more paintings up here... so much to paint around Wisemans Ferry. “Pink Light on the Hawkesbury River”, 35X45cm, oil on board.

In his first full issue of FF, Chris Claremont has Sue Richards train with Iron Fist, stand her ground and take a full brunted blast from him before laughing it up.

If there's been another writer whose done more in making female heroes strong and sexy, I haven't encountered it.

The issue is pivotal for cultivating the intersection of the mutant metaphor and Jewish heritage/history. The severity of Claremont’s portrayal of Haller thus adds context and motivation to key characters, even retroactively. 10/10

I would start with Chris Claremont's classic run of Uncanny X-Men (Phoenix Saga/Days of Future Past/Mutant Genesis) or if you want something more modern start with Joss Whedon's run, Astonishing X-Men.

Thus, the decision to step Xavier out of the classic patriarch role has deep, and long-lasting consequences for the entire series, showcasing again the extent to which Claremont’s plots tend to pivot around character development. 7/7

Good story by Claremont.
