The Claremont Run is known for being highly sexual in nature, but the most prominent specific sexual symbol within it is that of BDSM, defined as a variety of practices involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and others. 1/9

Claremont uses the Morlocks to create a mutant class hierarchy, thus allowing X-Men an opportunity to speak to issues of class, privilege, and visibility in a way that the traditional superhero narrative (with its casual portrayals of wealth) often avoid. 1/6

Who was the second best Storm writer ever?

is obviously Claremont but after that it becomes much harder to decide.

Her character arc then becomes a story of self-definition in the absence of these external forces. By the end of her time in UXM, she is lost completely and utterly, but finds herself again in Claremont’s Excalibur, reborn (because Phoenix) as a confident and assertive hero. 4/4

One of the more direct commentaries on masculinity in the Claremont run comes in UXM 183. Logan takes issue with Piotr’s handling of his break-up with Kitty and decides to teach the young man a lesson through the time-honoured medium of bar-fight. 1/5

When plans for the character were cancelled, Claremont absorbed him into X-Men, using his purity to provide a moral compass for the team in the absence of Nightcrawler, while integrating Longshot’s villains, Mojo and Spiral into prominent positions in the X-Universe. 3/6

When people talk about the X-Men, some minds go to Claremont, others to Stan or Jim Lee, or Morrison. Mine immediately goes to and 's X-Force/X-Statix. People, let me tell you about the greatest mutant team ever assembled...

Callisto is one of the most gender-deviant characters in the entirety of Claremont’s run, to such a degree in fact that later authors (and even Wikipedia) failed to grasp Claremont’s complex treatment of the character’s relationship to her gender in a notable story. 1/8

Random C2E2 Chris Claremont Story Because I'm Bored: A Thread

When I got to meet Chris at C2E2, we ended up talking a bit about Mekanix because (surprise) I'm a huge fan of Karma.

He told me an interesting story about these 2 pages. (1/9)

Frank Miller and Chris Claremont's Wolverine mini-series was a game-changer. One of those rare works that continue to astound me, decades later.

As this example shows, the effects of such romance-based character-building choices (and how they manifest) are exceedingly complex (good, bad, complicated) and can be monumental to Claremont’s run and beyond. 5/5

One of the more interesting character questions in a group dynamic revolves around who gets to have a romantic/sexual side of their character developed and who does not. This question has had a particularly noteworthy effect on Claremont’s X-Men. 1/5

While Claremont is sometimes ridiculed for his inefficient prose, the efficiency of his character work is remarkable (and accelerated to new levels by Paul Smith art), with one issue establishing, resolving, or advancing a litany of character arcs operating simultaneously. 6/6

The Piotr/Illyana relationship is your average patronizing brother/sister dynamic on the surface, but through Illyana’s demonic transformation, Claremont adds a layer of irony and symbolism to create something unique and compelling. 1/5

The Frazetta horror style adds a great deal to the defining arc of Silvestri’s run (and possibly Claremont’s for that matter): Inferno, giving the hellish nightmare depicted a sense of spectacle that is genuinely hypnotic (even as it is terrifying), bordering on the sublime. 5/5

Claremont goes right at this, beginning with the X-Men encountering Hela and Kitty subsequently questioning her own mortality, while Wolverine expresses his comfort with the concept in its absolute certainty. 3/7
