Nightcrawler in X@ 10

Post by michel »

In UX 210, the X-Men save Nightcrawler from a mob he couldn't escape because his power of teleporting was gone.
In UX 211, Kurt tries to teleport but that leaves him weak.
In between, he appears in X@ 10, in which he teleports normally.

I know the Mutant Massacre timeline is a mess and the MCP had a hard time to sort it out, so that's why I'm asking: has this been considered?
Coulnd't UX 210 (17:7 - 20) be placed after X@ 10? UX 210 (21) shouldn't, it's Wolverine and Storm discussing the disappearance of Rachel.

Re: Nightcrawler in X@ 10

Post by Leoparis »

Okay, first time I involve myself in X-Men crossover chronology. I've not read past discussions.

Moving UX 210 (17:7 - 20) after X@ 10 does not seem wise to me. In X@ 10 Kurt first teleports within the confines of the Danger Room and then teleports after the X-Men have been altered by Spiral (who displayed the ability to restore Storm's powers).

Here are some avenues that appeared to me:

1a. Place X@ 10 between pages 8 & 9 of UX 211.

1b. Or between 9:3 and 9:4 (i.e. X@ 10 occurs while the Morlock is being autopsied. Or the Morlock survived for a while so that Psylocke read his memory, then died and was autopsied.)

2. Place pages 1-3 of X@ 10 earlier than Nightcrawler "losing" his power (as a result of Nimrod in UX 209). Theoretically, you can do that on the premise that Mojo did not broadcast the training session live. But that requires Psylocke to join the team before UX 207. And by then it's Wolverine who's in bad shape.

3. In X@ 10, Storm regains her powers thanks to Mojo/Spiral then loses them again. You can assume the same thing happened for Nightcrawler. He regained his powers under Spiral's influence then reverted to the state he was in UX 210.

Assessment:

For the latter part of X@ 10 you've got the Spiral explanation. For the Danger Room part, you could place it earlier but there is no spot available as that would put the arrival of Psylocke in NM@ 2 circa UX 203.

1a is a bit rough but avoids the disadvantage of the X-Men waiting to help the Morlocks.

1b is better as Sharon Friedlander needs time to do the autopsy and X@ 10 can happen during this time.

2. I see no solution where to move the Danger Room session. Unless you put it between UX 210 and 211 like so:

X@ 10 (1 - 3) teleporting in controlled environment > UX 211 (1 - 9:3) teleporting too soon after session, Morlock arrives, sent to infirmary. > Psylocke reads Morlock's brain > X@ 10 (4 - 38) > UX 211 (9:4 - 22)

Creating a break in UX 211 raises the question of what to do with NM@ 2. Before UX 211 or after UX 211 (1 - 9:3) ?

NM@ 2 Psylocke arrives > UX 211 (1 - 9:3) Morlock arrives, sent to infirmary. > Psylocke reads Morlock's brain > X@ 10 > UX 211 (9:4 - 22)

or

UX 211 (1 - 9:3) Morlock arrives, sent to infirmary. > NM@ 2 Psylocke arrives > Psylocke reads dead Morlock's brain > X@ 10 > UX 211 (9:4 - 22)

This latter choice can explain the delay in the X-Men intervening. They have no telepath when the Morlock arrives and maybe they did not understand what he said. Then Psylocke joins and reads the memory (can she read the memory of dead people?), then informs the X-Men of what she saw.

There was a previous topic devoted to this very question.
Out in the Land Down-Under, beneath a rocky outcrop, deep within the back paddock, dwells the Stray Lamb.
