Time for Chris and me to have dueling X-Books! (Something that was
actually suggested back when I left the title!)
It would be like handing Marvel a license to print money!

" I think Claremont loves writing both Beast and Angel, since he tries to use them every chance he gets"
---
Beast, maybe. But Angel????? He wrote him out of the book over silly reasons (Angel didn't like Wolverine), almost the minute JB left!

Don't tease us, I know I'd pay to see it.

Right. Angel left in #148. JB left in #143. Claremont gave Angel just one adventure (where they faced "Dr. Doom") before shuffling him off.

Ah. And I was referring to Angel's return to the team in #139 (which JB has said was his idea).

Indeed it was! And Bobby would have come back too, if only I could have
figured out how to draw him properly!

When Claremont returned to writing the X-Men in 2000, he used Angel in several issues. He also had Angel guest star in the two issue Xtreme X-Men Xpose mini series and wrote a story arc in the Genoshian Excalibur series that focused mainly on Angel kicking the crap out of a bunch high tech terrorist. In that Excalibur story, he showed how powerful and useful Angel could be with his original powers in a fight. Those issues of Excalibur showed that Angel doesn't have to be turned into Wolverine with wings in order to be a bad@$$ who can kick butt (which is something that the current editors and writers of the X-book don't seem to realize).

I think Claremont said he intend to use Iceman in Forever, not as a member of the cast, but like for Colossus i believe he will appear in a story-arc.

He also had Angel crucified, helpless and doomed to marry some butch with a knife in the sewers. He was rescued by Storm. :}
