1991 X-Men: Mutant Genesis ad only published in Advance Comics #32.

This is the dual ad by Jim Lee & Whilce Portacio that featured very different teams and directions for the X-Men line when the X-Men spinoff title debuted. It’s a fascinating piece of lost media that never happened.

Chris Claremont had an unrealized direction for both series (Much of that explained in these links

before the artists and Editor Bob Harras forced those plans to be abandoned which ultimately led to Claremont’s departure immediately after the X-Men book launched after 17 years on the franchise.

Catholic Character Tournament

Rules

No real-life people (No, you can't submit Jesus or the Pope)

Only submit a character once. You can submit as many other characters as you like

Catholic-coded characters are allowed. If your character is not from Earth but they follow a religion that is clearly inspired/based on Catholicism, then it's ok. (ex: Church of Seiros in Fire Emblem Three Houses)

Orthodox Christians in communion with Rome are allowed. (Ex: Copts, Greek Orthodox, etc. Click link to see the list)

Rule Modification: Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christians(implied or hcs supported by text) are allowed. Click here for details.

If a headcanon can be supported by the text then the character is allowed. (ex: the Familia Madrigal from Encanto). Will accept simple explanations like "Donatello makes a cross"

Former Catholics/Lapse Catholics/non-religious characters are allowed only if being ex-Catholic is important to their characterization or story (themes about religious guilt or trauma).

Characters from religious allegories/texts that were heavily inspired by the creator's catholic faith are allowed (ex: Lord of the Rings and Narnia)

Biblically inspired characters are allowed (ex: Castiel from Supernatural or Aziraphale from Good Omens)

Characters from horror movies are allowed. Demons, however, are not. Unless you want to argue that the Demon is still Catholic, then be my guest.

Propaganda is allowed and encouraged. No holy wars tho, we gotta learn from our mistakes.

Episode 19 brought us the end of Fallen Angels....but the introduction of this song from X-Men 2: Clone Wars. Perhaps the hardest level in the game itself but it did bring out some of the best the Sega Genesis could offer!

Do you think Charles Xavier is a good person? Or, if not, how close to the mark does he consistently land?

"In judging a man like Gandhi one seems instinctively to apply high standards, so that some of his virtues have passed almost unnoticed."

"...Moreover, if one is to love God, or to love humanity as a whole, one cannot give one’s preference to any individual person. This again is true, and it marks the point at which the humanistic and the religious attitude cease to be reconcilable. To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others."

("Reflections on Gandhi," George Orwell)

I've talked about this here and here, but yes, I think in order for Charles Xavier to work as a character he has to be a good person. I would argue that the Charles Xavier of the Silver and Bronze Ages was always a deeply flawed man, prone to manipulation and deception and overriding people's free will in the name of the "greater good." Later writers, in their efforts to write their own stories that seek to make Xavier even more complicated, have had a cumulative effect that eventually becomes overpowering - to the point where the complications are all that's left. As I've said before:

"In recent decades (certainly since Brubaker’s Deadly Genesis, although I would argue you see signs of it in Morrison’s New X-Men), there’s been a tendency to deal with this issue by giving Xavier such increasingly large feet of clay that it’s become an active hindrance to how the character is supposed to function within the story and vis-a-vis the audience. I would argue this created a great deal of unnecessary tension in the fandom come HOXPOX, where a significant part of the fandom was convinced that Xavier was mind-controlling characters who were supposed to have had a sincere change of mind, because if Xavier was involved, whatever he was involved with had to be bad or dangerous."

This becomes a problem of audience buy-in when you try to write stories in which Charles Xavier is supposed to be on the side of the angels, because now you have to overcome decades of the readers being conditioned to the opposite before you can get them to engage with the story on its face.

To Morrison and many of those who came after him, the answer is that Xavier is simply an exhausted concept that needs to be pushed aside, so that the franchise can be led by new characters with new ideas. With all the best will in the world, this was tried repeatedly, and it failed. First, it was "killing" Xavier so that he could be replaced by Cyclops as the new leader of mutantkind on Utopia - only for Cyclops to basically do the same shit he was pissed at Xavier for having done; then in the Carey run we had Xavier's amnesia, the reconstruction of his mind by Exodus, and the retcon of his childhood connections with Mr. Sinister so that he was alive but totally distrusted; then in Avengers vs. X Men, Cyclops killed him; then in 2018 there was the whole mystery about whether his soul on the Astral Plane been swapped with or merged with the Shadow King.

After a decade of attempts to push Xavier out of the franchise, they finally gave up, in part because I think they ultimately realized that Charles Xavier is a load-bearing character for the franchise. Even just as a foil, he's too important to the themes and character dynamics, and if you try to replace him you usually end up just replicating him inside another character.

To my mind, the most successful writers to deal with Charles Xavier in recent years have been those, like Jonathan Hickman and Kieron Gillen, who have managed to lean into the idea (expressed in those Orwell quotes above) that what makes Xavier interesting and complex is precisely that he is a good man. Out of his universal love for all, he will turn the individuals he loves into pawns to be sacrificed for the cause; in order to achieve an outcome of a better world for mutants and humans, he will violate any procedural ethic; to save billions, he will trample over the free will of hundreds of thousands.

And that is precisely what ORCHIS weaponized against him to bring down Krakoa.

X-men Red #17: The Avatar of Life!

Let's get straight into it: Storm is the magic. Apocalypse returns clearly with a plan to provide an opportunity for Arrakkii to choose liberation, which Storm offers. Storm, prior to Apocalypse return, is faced with an opportunity that impacts the outcome of the war: Uranos. He offers guaranteed and absolute victory, but absolute death of Genesis and those loyal to her. Storm's goal isn't death. It's choosing to live and having the freedom of choice. So, she chooses.

In a fit of desperation, Jon Ironfire looks to end the war or his life on his terms. Apocalypse returns and acknowledges his approval of his son, Death, fighting with Storm's ideological faction, who he dubs as the honor Arrakko. Now, we learn Apocalypse has been gathering people, elements as ingredients to perform a spell!

The newly returned Sunfire, now bonded with Redroot, is the element of Earth. The immortal metamorph Apocalypse, who went by many names and survived the flow of time, is the element of Water. Vulcan, the hot-headed energy elemental who seeks to destroy anything to fuel his own flame of anger and entitlement, is the element of fire. The liberated Daemon, independent of Annihilation and Genesis' thrall, represents the element of freedom: air. Storm is the magic.

Storm is Aether. The element of connection, as she is the source of the newfound brotherhood. The element of the divine; the fruit, in my opinion, represents manna and mana, divine and spiritual nourishment, and God's edible substance to humanity. Aether is also the element of life force itself. Storm's connection to lifeforce is a recurrent theme and a part of her powers. The spell harnesses Storm's magic, powers, and life force to create a mutant island: Kaorak! A final challenge to Genesis.
