== Listener Questions ==
* I know post Avengers vs X-Men, Magik suddenly had a weird-looking, Final Fantasy VII-style buster sword, compared to her more traditional Soul Sword. Was the aesthetic design change ever explained? Does this have to do with warping by the Phoenix Force, or is she just way more badass and magic?
* Your most recent episode got me thinking: Bobby dated Opal, Warren dated Charlotte, Hank dated Trish. Jean only dated Scott, right? Rogue and Gambit, Storm and Forge... have the women of X-Men ever dated a civilian?
