Episode 180 - Lawful Badass

== Episode Description ==
In which Jay is deeply invested in The Gifted; Trevor Fitzroy is generally inexcusable; there are a lot of reasons to be uncomfortable in the Hellfire Club; the mix just got altered in this little clambake; Jean Grey (kind of) dies (again); Earth-1191 gives the Age of Apocalypse some glam competition; Lucas Bishop is a pretty decent metaphor for fan culture; everyone is probably Kang the Conqueror; and now Miles really has no excuse for not watching The Prisoner.

== Listener Questions ==
* I was interested in your answers to listener questions about which X characters you'd like to see represented as trans, notably because all your examples were retconning existing characters to say that the gender they presently identify as is trans, i.e. Logan is a trans man and always has been. You didn't mention any characters you'd like to see go through transition which would be my preference if we're going to change older characters to be trans. Any idea? Kitty or Rachel maybe? - Anonymous on Tumblr
* Are either or both of you Kang the Conqueror? And if so, when will your labyrinthine machinations come to light?- Anonymous on Tumblr
