Wow. That's pretty dope. Looks kind of Disney-fied.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Has there ever been an explanation as to why Scott, Jean, and the rest of X-Factor went from calling him Chris to Nathan? I know Claremont preferred Nathan and used that but it always bugged me that he was always baby Christopher in Simonson's run but that name never gets referenced after that. Scott and Jean start to only refer to him as Nathan as well in the 90s. Did they forgot all those years they called him Chris?
Story wise they called him Nathan cause Sinister wanted it and left a hypnotic suggestion since his real name is Nathaniel Essex. And because his full name was Nathan Christopher Summers

Story-wise, there was little reason to meddle with the name change. Especially since Claremont was the one who had Scott reveal he disliked the name from the beginning.
And that was a Claremont reveal rather than a Simonson one to go with his backstory for Sinister that he was really the little boy Nathan who was Scott's only friend at the orphanage. Scott even says in Inferno that he didn't like the name because it was the name of his "bully," which makes it even more odd how he reverts to using the name Nathan again by the end of X-Factor.
