I have to give this one to spirit, even if i disagreed with him on the rest. Gwen was a supporting characther and the "Lost Love" to Peter, there is Spider-Gwen but she doesn't really count, being a completly different version of the original (scrath that all post-Death Gwen are very different from the original) and she is more of a B-List. You could make an argument about Jason, considering the popularity of the Robin mantle, but at the time, he was a supporting characther for Batman, nothing more, he came back and now is a B-List. I don't think that Jean was ever treated as a C-List thougt.

I love this cover, Kurt and Laura have almost the same hairstyle and oh God! Contemplate at Jesus Gray!
Currently Jason is very famous and has led his own teams, is still a character in the mythology of Batman but like Dick is increasingly away from the stories of the bat. In the past I don't know but he is currently an A-list.
Does not matter. If Marvel wants him to be the leader, he will be (just look at Wolverine and the X-men), in the comics there were many other X-men that could have been the leader of the X-men and they were not, just look at Kitty nobody would have imagined her as the leader, but that was what they wanted and that was what we had. Now Logan is coming back from the dead and is the most beloved X-men of all, Marvel will not give him a secondary role, that is sure and if they want him to return to be the leader, he will be again. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.
is it safe to assume that the ugly costume from x-men red will be gone for good once things get back to normal?
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”

It's definetely not a sure thing, but I feel like if you kinda consider normal Gwen + Spider-Gwen as one when it comes to brand recognition, she becomes an A-List. She's one of the few supporting characters that are more famous than most heroes, like Lois and MJ, she's known by the general audience from the Andrew Garfield movies, she is/was on 2 cartoons and 1 animated movies just this year, etc.
Wolverine is popular for sure, but his return hasn't been meet with too much enthusiasm. His leadership only happened because of the fight with Scott, you can't ignore it.
Also he is a character that had solo books, so he doesn't steal spotlight that much from x-men books.
Kitty didn't came from nowhere, she was one of th emost logical people to lead the x-men.
Maybe Logan is going to be the leader(I doubt this, since he is returning to anti hero status)), that Still leave Jean personal live free. That would be 1 bad thing and 1 good thing
Wolverine is extremely popular, just because some people on this boards hate him doesn't mean he isn't or that people aren't happy to see him.
These boards speak for a vocal but passionate minority.
is this alternate reality gonna last till june? arent' you guys worried that we arent gonna get any meaningful character development till its finally over? I did enjoy aoa at the time it was published but thinking back now it had zero impact on 616 jean
