X-Men Monday 5 /06/19

They are now. They have been since the start of Morrison's run.

Prior to that, Emma was written as around 10 years older than Jean and the original X-Men, about 5-10 years younger than Xavier and Banshee.

Actually, even in Gen. X, she meets Dark Beast (who came to the timeline about 10 years prior) as a teenager, and editors said she was in her 20's in letters.

Not true.

Prior to Generation X it was not determined. Her bios from the 1980s described her has as young.

Gen X addressed her age and that placed her around Icemans age.

From then on she has always been described as around the O5s age or younger e.g. her ongoing, Gen X and making her a contemporary of Sway, Petra and Darwin

Oh boy I saw the topic of this week and I got my popcorn ready. This thread is already delicious. Now to just sit back and enjoy

Dark Beast and Sugar Man came to 616 about twenty years in the past, so Emma would have been about 36 in the mid 90's.

Dark Beast and Sugar Man came to 616 about twenty years in the past, so Emma would have been about 36 in the mid 90's.

The letter pages and the in story of Gen X addressed this.

Gen X minus 1 and the Gen X 49 was 8 years x months and 21 days as addressed by the characters and the writer of that very story.

It placed Emma between 25 to 30 when GEN x 49 was written

Lobdell's Emma didn't read as a 20-something. Mid-to-late 30s at least. Old enough to have teenage children.

Dark Beast, along with Sugar Man, were shunted 20+ years into the past--the same era when "Legion Quest" occurred with Xavier and Magneto were palling around in Israel. The issue you're referring to is Generation X #-1, part of the Flashback event. Emma was in her late teens, hanging out at NYC cocktail parties and using her telepathy to begin building her fortune.

Nope Emma was 16 at that Gen X minus issue. She left home a year ago as per the narrator. And her meeting with Adrianne occurs 8 years after Emma leaves home. Which makes Emma 23 in Gen X 48 if you go by what is written.

Secondly Cordelia is 17 at that same time. Emma would never have known Cordelia by your time line.

Thirdly the editors wrote that they saw Emma as 25 to 30 in Gen x

Am I the only one shipping Emma and Sean?

Am I the only one shipping Emma and Sean?

Sean is a good man and i would hate to see him being butchered in dumb shipping fights.
I would like him to see him with someone but at the same team i fear it

[phoenixzero23]

AOXM really have been lacking LGBT relationships

Seriously?
that is surprising,What about Northstar?
(i only read marvelous)

[Harpsikord]

Am I the only one shipping Emma and Sean?

Nope. They're good for each other. Sean grounds Emma and Emma gives Sean a bit of edge.

[Snoop Dogg]

He will have the spotlight on next issue of x-tremists, but so far no gay romance

[FluffyCyclopsRLZ]

Figures editorial would start talking about classical shipping after their Glorified Exercise in Alternate Universe Crack Shipping crashed and burned, lololololololol.

Risk is Sean getting same hate as Bishop. Majority of Emma fans ship Scott or Namor, Sean isn't even on radar.
He is probably her best option
