    I hope this wasn't already posted

    It's from X-Men / Alpha Flight: The Gift





    It's really one of my favorite scenes, and it's when I fell in love with Rogue!

    That is a really great page. Such a good era of X-Men. As a side note, I always forget Rogue speaks French

    My favourite panel from the Dark Phoenix saga is actually one where Mastermind gets his comeuppance. It was just such an incredibly cathartic moment because this guy had screwed X-men and particularly Jean every six ways from Sunday. X-men do break free but it looks like Mastermind might still escape...nope, Jean got the drop on him and got it good:

    And the final payback. This may not seem a big deal today but at the time it was huge character moment for Jean. At that point, X-men still largely believed in the 'system'. Bad guys were usually given the classic 'tie them up and leave them to police' treatment. Guess Wolverine might sometimes do something crazy. For some time they had gradually dropped hints that deep down Jean might have similar mean streak as Wolverine. And here she brings it forth. None of the other X-men at the time would have done this - even Wolverine would have just killed the guy and that's it. Jean declares she will do something worse and does it:

    I have always thought that the best mutants are the ones who's powers are steeped or have caused them real tragedy.

    That and the dance (which I posted) are some of my fave scenes from this crossover.

    Scenes like that make me think it would be more interesting if the idea of mutant power surpression medicine was more of a grey shaded subject than a black and white one in the X-men comics.

    Because the standard narrative for this kind of subject seems to go simply with "No that would be genocide, be proud of your powers!".
    Which isn't helped by writers over the past 20 years pushing the "mutant race" narrative more and more into a deep line.
    All while still apparently wanting the other metaphors to be still part of their narrative too. Which seems further pushes a black and white presentation for anything that handles the point of dangers and problems caused by mutant powers (including for the mutants themselves).

    But there is the catch, because as seen with Rogue and many other mutants, the metaphor includes disability and harmfull conditions and how it makes people pariahs or problems for societies.

    However in that metaphor anything that can help a mutant handle their powers better or get some way of relief from them should be a grey subject, not black and white one.
    Because there are plenty of people with mental and physical disabilities or conditions who can handle life a lot better with the medicine they get. Medicine which however can also be abused as drugs or has problematic side effects.
    For example antidepressants.

    So yeah an emotional moment for one part of the mutant metaphor, highlighting how the powers that make mutants what they are, can be blessings for some, a curse for others and sometimes even both. The X-gene is a lottery and only few hit the jackpot.

    I just thought I'd point out the XM/AF crossover is only called The Gift in trade and not to be mixed up with the Bolton back up story in classic x-men.

    This may not be as powerful as the others but it made an impact with me showing all of Rachels summers most important memories.

    Yes, I perhaps hated him the most out of all the villains because he pretended to be someone's friend.

    Speaking of Sean, I also liked how his actual strength was first really shown "and ye Major Maple Leaf ..... ye're the man to blame". He seemed to be quite fond of Moira all the way back then. How's he going to react when he finds out she and Xavier have been using him for years? Written well, that could be properly powerful and emotional.
    Yes he was, but he was expecting a rather sturdy woman to put it politely at the sound of her name and hearing she was from the Scots Guard. But as soon as he opened the door he was hooked.

    GOSH.

    Till this moment, I never noticed that these wonderful pages are built upon a structure such as... 'Watchmen', you may say?

    Nop. The Hernandez Bros.

    Awesome.

    You seemed to disappear when the movie came out. At least that's what I thought.
