Episode Description[]

In which Jubilee is the sassiest Xenomorph; Lady Deathstrike is way too good for the Reavers; Wolverine gets a sidekick; Forge arm wrestles the Shadow King; Moira takes a cavalier approach lab safety; Magneto’s motives get kind of reconciled; Legion is a chaos gamer; Mystique and Destiny break our hearts; queer erasure in fiction reflects erasure in life; and the Shadow King is not even a little bit subtle.

Listener Questions[]

  • I'd forgotten that Havok and Madelyne had had a romantic relationship in Uncanny X-Men, so my question is, has there ever been an arc or alternate universe where Scott and Lorna have been romantically involved?
  • Which Marvel character that isn't currently a mutant or X-Man do you think could be worked onto any of the X-Man teams with little to no alteration done to the character's bio and background?
