As noted by Julius Darius of Sequart, the work of comics legend Alan Moore was directly influenced by Claremont. Moore praised Claremont’s run on UXM in interview while working on Marvelman, a story which drew quite heavily from the Dark Phoenix Saga in particular. 1/5

Claremont had also, for years, been playing with the internal divisions of the Hellfire Club and that group’s simmering hatred for the X-Men, not to mention their desire to lash out - weighed against their own image-control. There’s some delightful court politics in play. 4/7

This puts the X-Men at odds with their bodies; something Bukatman notes, and a very relatable experience for anyone who has been through pubescence. Claremont plays with this idea extensively throughout the run and from a variety of angles. 2/5

UXM 217-218 represents an important turning point and litmus test for the entire series. In the wake of the Mutant Massacre, Claremont uses this arc to try out new X-Men, a new direction for the series, and even a new penciler who will go on to redefine the franchise. 1/7

Claremont treated the X-Men as an ensemble, and, though he clearly favored Storm, even she would pass in and out of issues without a consistent central focus. In contrast, when Claremont left, Wolverine dominated all issues and the group dynamic may have lost its balance. 3/5

HAW! Watch Chris Claremont turn John Byrne's minor error into a clever offscreen action twist and reversal in X-Men

FOREVER!

Through all of this, Claremont ties together decades of Betsy continuity across multiple authors and franchises to form a cohesive vision of a traumatized person who hated feeling weak and therefore sought power. 8/9

Claremont did not always succeed at escaping stereotype himself (see accents as one example of this), but under his watch the characters became progressively more independent from type, often undermining it altogether. 3/4

Here, Claremont picked her up and wove her into X-Men through an attack by the Marauder Malice and a subsequent roster position as the safest option for Alison in the wake of the Mutant Massacre. 4/7

Claremont’s roster has various characters out for certain issues or even for extensive runs. This creates gaps in the lineup, allowing Claremont to try-out, debut or cultivate other members, a process that has resulted in multiple enduring characters taking off. 4/5

While the impact of death in comics has been much discussed, long-term injury and rehabilitation has not, despite having similar effects on character, plot and setting. Predictably, this is something Claremont often does very well. 1/5

The satirical aspect is established through several references to Marvel comics production as well as the presence, on-page, of the X-Men creative teams, such as Claremont, the Simonsons, Art Adams and Ann Nocenti in several instances. 3/6
