That's a great point, and considering the general level of Moira's current creepiness, if Hickman picked up on that deliberately (which I think would have been very difficult), it's almost genius.

Yes.

I spent months thinking, hoping, this was the case. Now I'm not so sure, I'm worried it's just really bad or very lazy writing.

Agreed. So, where the hell is Banshee in any of this? Not only has his relationship with Moira been completely overlooked, he's been asked one question about his daughter dying multiple times, and...

I really don't see many people voting for the Scarlet Witch on Krakoa unless something pretty drastic happens in the next couple of months. I also wonder about the possibility of votes for any of...

If their mission has gone well at least one of them will likely get a lot of votes. But at least one of the ten in the vote has to be included (most likely Polaris).

Cyclops and Jean.
Polaris
Banshee
Synch
Frenzy
Dazzler
Bishop

I think 8 is probably enough, but I'd like to see appearances from Wolverine and Storm regularly as well.

Yeah, I'm not going to change regardless of how long I live, how many lives I have, how many kids I have. The kids always come first. Since my first son was born my perspective on life has changed,...

The parenting skills of Marvel's mutants have never been what I'd call spectacular. I've got five kids, they range in age from mid 30s down to mid 20s, and even at those ages nothing, and I mean...

I think some of it's going to stick, it's going to be around forever. I prefer not to think of it as mutant magic, or mutant technology. But instead more as power synergy, by which I'm meaning the...

Val Cooper could be a good way in.

Also I'm seeing things about a new Guardians of the Galaxy team, and a huge expansion of the team in the comics. Looks like Storm is leaving Krakoa, is she...

No, he just was being used as wallpaper, flying around aimlessly, while Cortez powered up Sunfire in #2.

Yeah, clearly it is, if anyone's going to take a serious beating off panel in this era you can be certain Banshee's going to be one of them.

Yes, sorry you're right. It's just the heightened profile I was thinking about, and the comedy gold. He's obviously a character you like, he never has been for me, and actually this is the best...

Greycrow, Nanny, Empath, Orphan Maker, Sinister.

All of those have been brought right out of the shadows by being sympathetically handled and beautifully written. Anybody who hasn't read that...

Pick another one my friend, you've two angels. Me, I'd drop Dazzler in there and go right along with you.

Banshee.

The entire premise of the entire new direction was Moira, so obviously one of the most important characters was bound to be Banshee wasn't it? But he's been wallpaper and cannon fodder...

Exactly right. As the population increases the potential for problems increases and some kind of rule of law has to be imposed somehow. There has to be a stable system of government, perhaps a...

Ah yes, but that's not quite what I mean, my thought is that what Nightcrawler comes up with, and his new life and belief system is going to form the framework of a legal system for implementation to...

That being the case what interests me is who is not going to accept the belief system, and how it then relates to the governance of the country.

We're about to see the new X-Men team, set up by...

I'm guessing, of course, but it would seem to me that this isn't going to be about a religion in the conventional sense. By that I mean that it won't be the worship of a particular god, or God's.
...

Interesting. You and I see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I come at the X-Factor thing from a completely different angle.

I think it's a further proof of her strength as a character now...

I think the issue with completely doing away with characters who have been around that length of time is that they're popular still. You really only have to look at the results of the vote, it looks...

I'd be interested to know how you would like her to be written, what aspects of her character you feel writers should concentrate on. For me, the issue of her being controlled by others always has...

The five original X-Men, you could maybe call him Mimic.

Silvestri was doing particularly good work at that time, and it wasn't long before Jim Lee took over, a good time for X-Men comics overall.

I remember at the time being quite excited about Banshee...
