Of course he's probably come back a hundred times already, for all I know ****************** He's Red Hulk.

Those things happen all the time to take certain players off the stage for various reason. A shift in direction for the books or an attempt revitalize the main character. The "plan" was usually tied to a single character or book, rather than a company wide masterplan.

That obviously is how it turned out, though I can recall thinking in my teenaged mind back in the first half of the 1980s that it almost looked as if some company-wide masterplan was slowly in the works. Clearly not, or if so then it was more a plan fit for Daffy Duck than Victor von Doom.

Wasn`t Marvel Girl about 16 years old at this point? Shame, shame, shame.

The odd thing about that to me is this happened in the second issue of the title, IIRC. ( I've just begun my massive X-Men Essential voyage from start to finish). How much time has passed from the time she joined in the first issue to this point in the second? Enough time for a teacher to fall in love with one of his students, I guess, but it seems odd that it happened so quickly.

Not really, Xavier had been working with Jean long before she joined the X-Men, he helped her when her powers first manifested after her best friend was hit by an automobile and killed.

Yeah, which would mean she was even YOUNGER when he first started falling for her.

That wasn't part of continuity when that story was written though was it?

No, it wasn't. X-Men #1 makes it clear that it was Jean's first day at the school. And of course, she didn't have any telepathic powers back then. That was retconned in long after.
Of course, even without that, Professor X's word balloon is odd. However, other than that panel, I don't think Stan wrote anything else that indicated Professor X was in love with Jean. Most likely, Stan realized it was a mistake and never mentioned it again. I would not consider it to be part of continuity.

Michael,
Are you sure there wasn't a panel later in that X-Men issue that set things straight, where Xavier exclaimed "Oy! That's the last time I use the odd tobacco I found in Hank's dresser drawer, hidden beneath his socks. A pleasant smoke, but such strange, weird thoughts I had!"
