From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 3 rolls on as @IowasJoe and I try and help Wolverine get to the bottom of his history - with mixed and confusing results!
Also: Joe shares with us the "Soundtrack of his Life"
It's #FCTCXMen, Ep 3c - Wolverine (v.2) #49

One of the more common character tropes that Claremont uses is the idea of the being who is fighting their own dark destiny, and – more often than not – losing. 1/5 #xmen
20 years ago this month both Marvel & DC had some weird ass gimmicks for their books from DC's "Full Coverage" to Marvel's "Nuff Said".
I bet Claremont was depressed as hell this month.
Storm's birthday is on November 25th according to Chris Claremont. Happy Birthday to a real life Icon. God's Own X-Man.

@RClaremont Richard Claremont’s c2020 oils, various clouds scenes on successive mornings on same Board, Interesting impressions! My WCs similar idea, but same scene, at sunrise, night, & sunset:
@ClaremontRun Hey, @tegan_oneil5000,
Didn't you do a whole series of deep dives into the kink / hypersexual nature of Claremont & Alan Davis EXCALIBUR?
One can never get too much of that brand of weirdness.
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. #xmen 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 #283, an issue he never got to actually write.
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
