Hmmm I’m skeptical that that Mark Brooks teaser is as simple as “they can clone anyone they want” because I’m also skeptical that the cloning will specifically involve picking different characters from different eras; I’m one of those people who think Jean’s characterization and costume in HOX are as simple as “that’s how Hickman wrote her” and “that’s what she felt like wearing.” And clearly there are plenty of people represented on the spread who are there for reasons other than present day cloning.
But it’s getting harder to see how *all* of the random things featured that we haven’t seen yet could possibly have a role to play in the remaining five issues, like Baby Havok, young Storm, roller disco Dazzler, Barry Windsor-Smith Weapon X Logan... so some of it could be symbolic of the vastness of continuity. But I’m skeptical that it’s all there because of cloning. One thing that I’m definitely still expecting, maybe spread through the remaining issues or maybe packed into one dazzling montage issue (HOX #5?) is a grand tour of what exactly Moira has been up to behind our backs throughout the history we know. I wouldn’t be surprised if it involves Weapon X, or Storm circa her picking Charles’ pocket. I would be more surprised if it involves disco Dazzler or the Mojoverse, but extra delighted if it does!

Or...more accurately...it's not the same writer.
Why do character-specific fans never account for different writers/stories/intentions?
For all we know, that's just how HiX-Man wanted to write her in that scene, for emotional gravitas...but it's not a pointed attack on Jean and Jean fans. Character-specific fans need to stop taking things so personally because the writers aren't writing/working for you specifically.
Because CHARACTERS SHOULD BE WRITTEN CONSISTENTLY ACROSS WRITERS. Why is it so hard to comprehend that?
If a character has to be written OUT of character to make the plot work, the problem is not the character. Writers should not be just ignoring a character's established personality or behavior just because they want to do something with them that the character ordinarily wouldn't do.

Agreed. Pick characters that fit the story you wanna tell. Don't just take characters and write them ooc to make them fit. It's like putting together a puzzle. It comes with the pieces that fit. Don't take a bit and cut on it to make it fit in the spot you want. We have thousands on X-Men characters, many who could use good spotlight, so writers do have plenty of options to chose from regarding their stories. But some only wanna use the same basic characters because they are "the ones who matter", and you get them written 5 different ways with different histories to make them fit in whatever given story at the time.
Writing characters "consistently" doesn't mean writing them exactly as Claremont wrote them ie only in bad-ass and powerful mode...and let's be honest that's exactly what you all mean when you say "consistent". Powersful characters can sometimes have weak, vulnurable moments that belie their strength...it's called three-dimensional characterization and every good writer knows how and when to use this. Even Claremont didn't write Jean...or Storm...or Cyclops...or Wolverine etc...consistently across his decades spanning runs. But wrote them as the situations dictated.
