Nothing to apologize for.

For better or for worse, they're a big part of each other's history, and hopefully, writers will create history for Polaris that doesn't involve Havok, but it is...

Yeah, I don't blame you for not wanting Austen's "run" to be rewritten, because apart from the character derailment of Polaris that required Grant Morrison of all writers to fix, Austen's tenure is a...

When I say him always being the bad guy, I mean the writers putting him in the position of being the one to do horrible things to Lorna, such as the examples you cited, rather than showing her...

While it is unfair to Polaris, that's on the writers.

Maybe they don't bring it up through Havok because there's nothing left for him to say on the relationship. They're in a good place as it...

You're probably right, and considering everything he's done and been through since then, it'd probably be hypocritical to hold a grudge.

I should do a reread of the Outback era, honestly.

It's funny, but going over Havok's history in the X-Factor thread led me to reread UXM #219.

Makes me wonder why he doesn't resent the X-Men more if they're willing to mess with the heads of...

His life experiences are different than...

Not every mutant needs to be, nor should be, associated with the X-Men or be sequestered from the larger Marvel Universe because the X-Office doesn't like sharing their toys.

Maybe, but it still distinguished Alex from Scott, which is what he needed.

That's not to say he became some self-hating mutant, but people ignored the nuance of what Remender wrote, which, among...

Rick Remender did that with him in Uncanny Avengers.

He gave him his own point of view, and put him through the grinder for the hard-earned victory at no small cost to himself and the Wasp. But of...

I don't need the book to last forever, just as long as the character is left in a far better place than he was at post-Axis, Hellions and Dark X-Men.

I dig it.

Anything that hopefully gets Havok closer to his pre-Axis Uncanny Avengers days can only be a good thing, rather than toeing the collectivist mutant line.

He's still right, by the way.
