Also, if folks wanna track down that issue with Kitty, Scott & Logan, its Wolverine: First Class #12. Its set just after UXM #150, and they are on 'Octopus-heim'/Magneto's island lair! Its one of my favorites in a fantastic run. All of those First Class series are a blast, tbh!

As a diehard "Rachel is trans and Cable should be too" truther, I obviously loved Josie's take! Metaphors, allusions and Body Shoppe visits aside, there's a moment in Excalibur v1 where she talks about never being able to find alternate versions of "Rachel Summers" in any timeline, but not Nathans!

Loved the various takes on the U-Men, although I predominantly read them as metaphors for cultural appropriation by white people, extending into the Rachel Dolezal/transracial stuff! I also never connected the “needing to breathe clean air” with the fact that they’re all on immunosuppressants
