Summers Drama, summarized:
Neurotic and highly-stressed Scott tries his best to be a good boyfriend/husband/father/grandfather/brother/son despite everything on his plate
His family: Scott Summers is a jerk!
If Spidey has the Parker Luck, should Scott be getting a similar curse?
Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

Compared to the other most iconic MU couple that isn't Reed/Sue, Peter/MJ, it's interesting how both MJ and Jean discover their love interests before physically meeting. MJ learns Peter is Spider-Man from watching him through her window. Jean's mind senses Scott's across the country when he's at his most lost and alone.
In fact, I've often believed that Xavier only learned of Scott's existence because of Jean sensing him first. So we can even thank Xavier finding and saving Scott, and granting him X-Men membership, because of Jean. Even in the What If? story Claremont penned where Xavier and Magneto both form the X-Men, Jean never gets found by Xavier at first so she's in her coma for years. And in this reality, Scott and Alex were both working for Sinister as a result because Xavier never found them, presumably as Jean was not awake to sense Scott's existence and inform Xavier about him.
I didn't realize Neal Adams wrote that. But you do know that the Neal Adams X-Men is considered one of the all-time classic X-Men runs? The one that proved X-Men sales were not as low as made out to be, thus ensuring the book was not cancelled for good. Also what was CC's first exposure to the X-Men and what inspired his own legendary run.
I never cared about Reed and Sue's relationship simply because Reed was never relatable to me. He's too old and too focused on his work for me to relate to. Scott and Jean on the other, when written properly, can be even better than Peter and MJ because they're destined to be with one another. I really don't know how to explain it but I've alway felt that Scott and Jean being together is an act of a higher power. Their love is so necessary that without it, future and past would be entirely different. It's why I couldn't take Jogan or Scemma seriously, they were just obstacles or at best, rebound relationships.
You're right, without Jean, Charles probably would not have found Scott at all.
I don't think I've ever read any X-Men stuff he actually wrote then. That First X-Men stuff seemed like par for the course from this era when Marvel loved to introduce retcons about the first versions of teams like the Avengers 1959 featuring Sabretooth of all characters. All of it disregarded today.
I was an FF fan before I was introduced to the X-Men so I always liked Reed. Which may also explain why I like Xavier since Reed was basically copied over as Xavier. I've often said the X-Men were more or less the FF reskinned.
Xavier kept Reed's role as patriarch of the team and big brain genius. Jean was Sue, the female of the team with defensive powers, also loved by everyone on the team who wasn't her blood relation. Bobby was Johnny, the kid of the team, but with the polar opposite powerset. Warren took Johnny's role as the flying character and mascot of the team. Hank was the muscle of the team like Ben and started off as a Thing knockoff with the exact same personality which took a few issues in to develop into the Hank we know today. And Scott's brooding nature and isolation was based off of Ben's appearance. Some of his no-nonsense behavior and work over play personality also came from Reed and thus made him Xavier's model student.
Also you're right about Scott and Jean being predestined by a higher power. The very next Classic X-Men issue after Scott's origin and his first meeting with Jean segues into Classic X-Men 43, Jean's encounter with Death after her suicide on the Moon. Death himself confirms that Scott and Jean's love was fated to save the universe from D'Ken. And Death also brings up how it's all connected, including Jean's mind sensing Scott's and why Scott was orphaned by none other than D'Ken himself.
In the real world i would be BOTH pro registration and Pro mutant rights. Xavier and Trask were both right.
Sometimes it feels like off panel Hope channeling the PF, Wanda, Doc Strange and Galactus all did a ritual with the infinity gems and the incantations was "NO MORE CHARACTER GROWTH!"

So apparently they’ll ignore the shitty open relationship, at least that’s what I understand from Brevoort’s new newsletter.
