The reason that Logan switched back to his old, blue and yellow costume was
that he was experiencing some sort of mental reversion to a state when he 
first signed up with the X-Men.  He was going through a lot, not knowing
which of his memories were real, getting a little more savage than usual
and starts to wear his old costume.  I think this happened around issue
#48 or so when he goes to the warehouse in which the Weapon X subjects were
kept and had mind/memory alteration scenarios implanted.  On the way over,
Jean Grey thinks to herself that he is reverting to his old self, even 
bringing out the old costume (written in a thought bubble while enroute
to said location inside blackbird).

I dont care what happens to scott as far as his love life is concerned.  He's 
obviously a loser.  I used to think that wolverine and Jean should be together,
but now that Wolvie has no past to speak of and anytime he loves someone they 
die, I dont think thats a ggod idea either.  He's just not the character he 
used to be.  So i think Ms. Grey should start boning iceman.  Or better yet...
her and Storm in a lesbian relationship.

Having just read Excalibur #63, I was wondering if the disease the
RCX (sp?) is investigating might be related to Captain Britain's
power loss?  It has been talked about here that Brian, Betsy and
their brother may be mutants, then perhaps they could get the
disease as well (if there is actually a disease).  Then again, if
Brian has it, why doesn't Meggan?  She's a mutant also...

Oh, well.  I guess we'll find out in time.

Actually, the identity of that "visitor" becomes quite clear in X-Men #18
(which I just picked up today).  She's Mandarin's former assassin before
Psylocke, and she wants to regain her rightful place as "Lady Mandarin"
by eliminating her "other self".  So what we're actually looking at here is
TWO upcoming catfights -- Psylocke vs. Jean and then Psylocke vs. Kwannon
(the other lady's name -- she actually looks a little like Betsy body-wise).

I think we have to assume the TV series is using a slightly
different version of Rogue's power:Where she absorbs someone's
strength and super-powers but not their minds.  Both Wolvie
and Cyclops were conscious while Rogue had their power,
Wolvie very weakened and Cyke with no eyebeams(I assume).

Also, does anyone else think the writing has improved with the
most recent episode?  It still had fairly corny spots but both
Magnus and Xavier seemed very close to the comic, and the fight
flowed very well.  Any other opinions?

Hmm, the reference about Nightcrawler being a second generation mutant.
Is Marvel finally going to resolve that plotline with Mystique that
Chris Claremont introduced in Uncanny X-men 142/3?

Or am I just getting my hopes up too high?

This is about getting hold of the old issues of Marvel Comics.
I was visiting a friend in England last year who had an attic full
of boxes of old, newsprint comics that they sold over there in the
sixties and seventies - weekly installments of Spiderman, Fantastic
4, DD, everything...  He also had a box of early seventies Marvels
in good condition (circa Iron Man 22, X-Men 80, Spiderman 120 - I
didn't think to look for the Punisher issues).
Magazines like that are around, but no dealer would spend the money
on them, and no colector would give them up.  You might try looking
for something like that.  Or if you're seroiusly interested, I
could look up his address (US Military overseas), but that might
cost you some bucks for shipping.

I haven't seen the issue(s) you're tlaking about but...
I has been stated before that Capt. Britain's and Meggan's powers are linked
to the Emerald Isles so that should they leave England they would grow
progressively weaker.
The reason for the power loss for Meggan is not known but for Brain it is
because his power is linked to the Energy Matrix that was maintained by
the existance of the lighthouse.  Now that the Matrix is destroyed (see
issue 50) it may be possible that the time limit on Capt. Britain's powers
have dropped significantly.

How I had hoped, after reading X-factor 87, that Lorna was just kidding
about that costume -- that she'd worn it to get a reaction out of 
the psych.

Oh, well.  Seems more and more of the team is giving up the uniforms,
huh?  Quicksilver never had one, Alex's really isn't a uniform, Lorna's
now wearing THT (The Hideous Thing)... Unfortunately, Jamie's still stuck
with that dippy-looking outfit.  Not justice whatsoever.

But tell me... what happened at the end of X-Factor 87?  Did I miss
some in-joke with those tendrils grabbing Val, did PAD just forget,
or did we just get set up for an EVIL VAL COOPER CLONE...?

Lorna got a new costume.

that hasn't been seen since the 120's/130's.  In Marvel Univserse, they

Imagine... you have great powers, but with them great responsibility,
you have the ability to destroy the world but choose not to, etc etc...
but best of all, you don't have to keep a job, but always have money to
go out for dinner, the theater, shopping, you can take a trip to Japan
whenever you want, and when you crash the car Prof. X pays the bills, no
questions asked.
The ultimate teenager life.  Mutant powers may be cool, but which would
YOU choose:

1) the ability to shoot energy projections and destroy buildings,
2) a great and noble destiny, or...
3) no job, unlimited cash, and police immunity

What a life it would be....

Excalibur had and has little to do with the rest of Marvel continiety wise.
Case in point:  Rachel Summers  Instead of correcting the discrepenies between 
UX #141-142 and what latter writers wrote Alen Davi went off and reworked
everything.   His origin is little better then any of the others and does not
match Days of future past either, even though Excalibut #26 DIRECTLY tied
Rachel Summers the timeline of UX #141-142.  Somebody pointed out that
Captain Britian's power outages around issues #8-9 don't match what was told in
early issues of Captain Britian {The trade paperback is little help, Brian is
in England most of it so I cannot conferm the stated disrepencies.}
Nightcrawler seems not remember that Mystique(sp) even exists much less they
may be related.  I heard a rumor from a dealer here that NEITHER Marvel nor
Excalibur pay that much to each other as far as following continiety between
it and other Marvel titles. {He also told me that Exalibur came close to being
canceled around the #30s.}.  As far as fooling Brian, well a warwolf did it 
back in Excalibur #41 into believing that it was his sister.
So as far a what is going on with Psylocke, look to other books in addition
to Excalibur because writers in other titles tend to IGNORE Excalibur.

I believe you're referring to Reiko (from WOLVERINE #31-33, and #55-57,
where she referred to having her corneas removed by "laser-surgery".)
Nope, she killed herself when she realized she was used by Silver Fox and
Matsuo to kill Mariko, Wolverine's betrothed. She impaled herself on the
Silver Samurai's Black Blade (from WOLVERINE #1-4; a nasty customer,
indeed!) as a means of atoning for her error.

I do apologize for opening the proverbial "Pandora's Box" again on
the mutant traitor, but recent events dictate...

Now, people are talking about the traitor surfacing as Psylocke -- the
one CURRENTLY in the group -- because a purple-haired woman beat up
some ninja in assumedly Tokyo and then mentioned the X-Men.  Jean
Grey _also_ has reasons (personal ones) for that "...never should have
trusted..." line in regards to Betsy.

But, people, this WILL kill a love triangle.  A _MAJOR_ running
plot complication for Scott.  I just don't see that happening.

However... Gambit has been getting pretty darned close to Rogue recently.
Now, consider one of two situations occuring:

	1) Rogue finally, in a moment of weakness, kisses Gambit and
		does her best not to "veg" him.  Unfortunately, she
		absorbs only SOME of his memories, and he becomes a
		murderous maniac.  Marvel gets away with looking good
		"See -- Gambit IS the traitor after all!" while, should
		the X-Men manage to stop him (Duh), not losing a single
		popular member and not resolving a romantic subplot.

	2)  Rogue finally, in a moment of weakness, kisses Gambit and
		absorbs his mind and powers.  She's so stricken by the
		event that she lashes out blindly, clinging only to
		anger -- at herself, at Remy, at everyone -- for letting
		this happen.  Again, assuming she gets stopped (Duh),
		no deaths, no subplot losses, LOTS of angst.
