I cannot imagine Oracle's story being told more succinctly yet completely in one panel as you created, Mr. Byrne. Never doubt your mastery.
And - maybe only to me - the idea of a mentalist, pretty much the ultimate long range warrior, suddenly becoming a cyborg, who is a close in melee fighter, makes a very interesting character, I think. I cannot think of too many "half and half" heroes of this nature - Deathlok and Tharok, maybe (so I guess we have to spell her name as Orakle from now on...) but they're not so defined as Oracle. I'd be interested in her restoration (not physical), as well as the rest of the IG - but then, I've been a sucker for the Legion for a LONG time.
It intrigues me, Mr. Byrne, that you think Jean, Ororo, and Scott are the long distance warriors of the X-Men. With no disagreement, I also consider Banshee, Havok, Iceman, Polaris, and Nightcrawler as ranged attackers. I'm personally fond of Sean Cassidy - but he is surely not as powerful as Cyclops and Marvel Girl. And of all the ranged attackers, his limitation is obvious and most common.
I miss Banshee. I hope that someday he heals and can return to being an ANAO X-Man. I have to suspect that your handling of him would be nothing less than masterful.
