It really was a sign of the times, Silver age Supes was a cad. I read a lot of those stories from a large omnibus my grandfather had, went up to '71 I believe...

With great power comes great d-baggery...

I recently re-read the Mutant Massacre in its entirety after purchasing the complete tpb. This filled in several blanks as I could never afford (or find) the ENTIRE run. What a big deal this must have been at the time. A brutal line wide cross over, the ramifications of which are felt for years as this really propels the X-books into a major shake up of the status quo.

Geez that's right! (Nice one with Lori Lemaris btw) And why did she need the frikkin' wig? The rage is contagious...

She's a big secret no one can know exists, flying around in a red cape deftly using her heat vision on water fountains to hide her as she engages in derring-do...

Good morning! I got into comics (exclusively Marvel for years X-titles for the most part) at possibly the worst time, late '92. Grim N Gritty 90's are in full swing, pouches pouches pouches, the Image exodus, speculator boom about to pop, style over substance, etc. Not knowing any better I fell in love anyway and spent as much time as I could immersing myself into the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, playing catch up with TPB's and the back issue bins.
I've used forums like this for answers or reference in the past but was never active. That of course has changed and I'm excited to be here... Excelsior!

Bad: The Psyloke/Kwannon/Revanche debacle. Why Nicienza felt the need to "clear" this up is mystifying... Not as mystifying as why Claremont felt the need to totally ruin Betsy Braddock by turning her into an Asian ninja in the first place... You are of course correct, I'm a bit of a Claremont apologist sometimes...👍🏻

Bad: The Psyloke/Kwannon/Revanche debacle. Why Nicienza felt the need to "clear" this up is mystifying... Bad: Jean Grey was never the Phoenix... Just an editorial parlor cop out to get the original five together again, completely craps on one of the greatest Marvel stories ever, marginalized Maddy to the point of literal redundancy, and was the main vehicle for turning Scott into a horrible emo man child...
I don't know if I can really come up with a good one... Except maybe Bucky's return?
