    Default The name of the SCHOOL and the continuity

    How many times has Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters changed its name in the comics? Have you actually keep some sort of record about it, no matter how hard it is?

    About the movieverse, we know that - in the revised timeline - Beast and Cyclops renamed it "JEAN GREY SCHOOL". Surely, in the positive ending of DOFP, the name of the school is STILL supposed to be that one, because I doubt that Xavier would re-rename it after himself, even after Jean has returned on Earth inbetween "Dark Phoenix" and 2023.

    Being DEADPOOL an obvious alternate universe, the school is still named "Xavier's School", or so I remember. Is the school ever mentioned by name in any of the DEADPOOL movies?

    In LOGAN, another alternate universe, the school is not mentioned at all (if memory serves me well), but they mention the infamous "Westchester Incident".

    Um, once?
    First there was Xavier's school and then Wolverine called the new school after the schism, the jean grey institute for higher learning.

    other schools like emmas in massachusetts or scott's in bendis run are not located at the same site and are different schools.

    Wrong. During the ResurrXion era, the Jean Grey part was dropped and it became the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach

    Someone knows or remembers if the school is addressed as "Xavier's" in DEADPOOL/DEADPOOL 2 (the movies)?
