JB, how do you feel about the origin aspect of Scott banging his head in the parachute fall as an explanation of his lack of control over his optic blasts?•• 8-pppppppppppp +++ Plus, wasn't that "space pirate dad" scenario already covered in Star-Lord? •• More of a space emperor, there.

BTW, before anyone leaps to accuse me of hypocrisy, since I am obviously including the Shi'ar and Lilandra in my ongoing scenario, let me mention that Jean surviving leaves a whole bunch of dangling threads, and the Shi'ar, unfortunately, are pretty much the only way some of them can get tied up.

After all this time Willie Evans Jr.!!!
Thank you... just, thanks! :^)
Of course someone may've remembered him and he did show up again... but I missed that if they did. This is where he should've showed up.
I liked the Shi'ar and Star Jammers enough in that one two issue micro-series thing (and in spite of the cutesy bits, though the world with otter Keystone cops and Bald Phoenix were really a step too far for me, oh well)... it was fun, but yes, like Dracula and fairy tale/magical pretend stories, it was a very awkward fit in the X-Men for long. I mean what is Storm going to do in outer space, or Kitty? Impersonate Phoenix and get impregnated by The Brood apparently. Banshee if he had been around (or Siryn) would've needed air for even more than just to breathe. Binary fit better than any of the mutants, kind of like a female Firelord, but the rest seemed somehow deadened.

Hypocrisy seems hardly the right word for a writer who respectfully uses
characters he personally dislikes -- more like professionalism.

Willie Evans Jr. unfortunately reappeared in the Bob Harras written Iron Man Annual from 1986 in which its revealed he's developed a murderous imaginary friend called Grunt. Willie winds up dead at the end of the story after trying to prevent Grunt from killing his father. He destroys an entire town and himself in the process.

Let’s pump the brakes for a moment and consider the biggest hurdle in the way of this becoming a real book. I refer, of course, to JOHN BYRNE THE CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE. A quick perusal of the Internet produces all kinds of terrible things I have said—often referring to those things without providing an actual quote, or, the favorite move, quoting responses without what the response was directed toward. As I’ve often said, the Internet is where context goes to die. So, we know Disney is nervous and unforgiving, as, it seems, are so many corporate entities these days. Realistically, they have to be in today’s climate. But will this new sensitivity sink this ship before it’s even launched?
