How appropriate that I just started rereading her X-Factor run today.

Amen!! As a New Mutants fanboy as a teen she was just as important to me as Claremont! Love to meet both of them someday!
[CENTER]In 2019 Marvel Icons Chris Claremont and
[SIZE=6][COLOR="#800080"]Louise Simonson[/COLOR][/SIZE]
gave their inside perspective on [I][COLOR="#B22222"]Dark Phoenix[/COLOR][/I]
[video=youtube;olzmzobJpDI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olzmzobJpDI[/video]
which [SIZE=5]BOMBED[/SIZE] at the box office![/CENTER]
As far as i'm concerned Weezie did a MAGNIFICENT job regarding the [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Phoenix-Entity[/B][/COLOR], [COLOR="#00FF00"][B]Marvel Girl[/B][/COLOR] and [COLOR="#B22222"][B] Madelyne Pryor[/B][/COLOR]
[QUOTE=616MarvelYear is LeapYear;5706667]Not surprised in the least that Phoenix and DP Saga are in the lead...
[CENTER]The Phoenix Saga began in [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]Uncanny X-Men #101[/COLOR][/I] which featured the first appearance
of the [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Phoenix-Entity[/B][/COLOR] who usurped [COLOR="#00FF00"][B]Marvel Girl[/B][/COLOR]'s civilian identity, Jean Grey.

The Dark Phoenix Saga depicted the Phoenix-Entity devastating a planet. Thanks to MG's copied humanity,
the Phoenix-Entity, in horror, destroyed its mortal shell in [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]Uncanny X-Men #137[/COLOR][/I] [B][SIZE=1]Witness was [COLOR="#FF0000"]Cyclops[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
and tried to revive Marvel Girl from suspended animation. However, MG rejected it.
Thanks to MG's rejection the Phoenix-Entity found MG's clone[COLOR="#B22222"][B] Madelyne Pryor[/B][/COLOR]

and gave her life.
Very CLEVER of the writer Louise Simonson to have Marvel Girl absorb the memories of both the Phoenix-Entity AND Madelyne Pryor

so that in future comics it can be explained how come Marvel Girl remembers everything of what
happened in [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]Uncanny X-Men#101-137[/COLOR][/I] [B][SIZE=1]which featured the [COLOR="#FF0000"]Phoenix-Entity[/COLOR] who usurped [COLOR="#00FF00"]MG[/COLOR]'s civilian identity, Jean Grey.[/SIZE][/B]
MG also remembers everything that [B][COLOR="#B22222"]Madelyne Pryor[/COLOR][/B] experienced in all
the X-Men comics [B][SIZE=1]and every other marvel comics[/SIZE][/B] that Madelyne Pryor has been in. [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
Happy birthday! Your work on X-Factor would make all the praise in the world feel wanting.
It still means so much to me to see a woman breaking into the main writer role, of a very male-dominated field, and shine.
(I understand you're not much into forums, so I hope Walt is reads it and relays our wishes to you).
Thank you so much! And happy birthday! :)
Happy birthday to the great Louise Simonson!
A truly inspirational legend, always going to be thankful for the things you brought into the Marvel Universe. I'm a very big fan of your work in X-Factor, one of my favorite comic books of all time, how you worked with characters like Jean Grey, Warren, Cyclops, the young cast, the Morlocks, Cameron Hodge, etc. Tabitha Smith become one of my favorite comic book characters thanks to your work with her in X-Factor, as well as your OG character Rictor that has become such an icon for us readers from Latin América :)
My best wishes in this day, and forever thankful for your work!
To me, the Louise Simonson [I][COLOR="#DAA520"]X-Factor[/COLOR][/I] run is to be used as inspiration for a [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]Disney+[/COLOR][/I] series.
