Index to Generation X Version 1.0, last modified July 6, 2001 by Robert Diehl (rfdiehl@yahoo.com) Introduction: Name the Frost girls. What 3 buildings on campus were destroyed? Who is Chevy? Where are Artie and Leech now? Mondo? Maggott? Tom Corsi? Who is Penance III? Lobdell: Writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo created the team. (1-28) with characters old and new. Emma Frost was made the most conflicted schoolteacher since Michael Xavier, and repulsive powers were invented for Chamber, Skin, Husk, and Penance. Mondo was a non-starter, and Emma, M, Jubilee, and Chamber became most prominent. Oh, and Artie and Leech were given a tree house. Best: Leech and Artie beating Bulwark while Jubilee beats Emplate. Not-So-Much-the-Best: the Glamour Machine. Hama: Larry Hama took over for a little over a year, and seemed to think what the world needed was another cross-time caper, and then swapped M with Penance. Best: Chief Authier, Synch being nice to the punks who beat him. Not-So-Much-the-Best: the Pooka, Gaia, Bianca Laneige. Faerber: Jay Faerber brought in another, meaner Frost, broke up Jono and Paige and gave her to a rich kid, and took the kids on their most enjoyable adventures. Best: Maggottıs visit, Paladin and Jubilee, the formal. Not-So-Much-the-Best: the third Penance, Monetıs vampire schoolmaster. Ellis & Wood: Warren Ellis and Brian Wood took over in iss. 63 as part of the Counter-X revamp. They had time for 3 storylines before cancellation of many of the X-books under new management. Best: 4 days. Not-So-Much-the-Best: Seanıs stereotypical Irish drunkenness. Honorable Mention: James Robinsonıs 3 OZT issues. Dishonorable Mention: Mahfood. Anyway, Enjoy the index. Let me know if you find any mistakes.

Paige jogs at dawn, and Jubes, in raincoat and bear-paw slippers, berates her for getting up so early. Paige husks instead of showering, and Jubes says when she was ³with the X-Men² they never left their skin lying around. M swoops out of the sky, unwilling to hide her powers. Sheıs a rich, beautiful egotist, and it takes a truck to deliver her luggage. Jono files in from England, giving a glimpse of his ³bio-nuclear psionic biokenetic field² to a nosy and precocious girl on the plane. He thinks heıs a freak. Ev and Angelo spar: Angelo surprise-attacks; Ev synchs his skin power; they entangle. Sean takes the girls on a tour and shows them the biosphere (Jubes: ³A Danger Grotto?²). Ev and Angelo crash in; Sean bickers with Emma over letting them train before theyıre ready. Emplate and D.O.A. wait for Jono at Logan Airport, while Sean takes Jubes and Ev to pick him up. M finds her old mentor Gateway in the yard and realizes why. Emplate, out of synch with normal space, walks through the airport undetected. He bypasses an old mutant, hungering for something younger. Ev says he understands human fear of mutants, since they all passed through the metal detector. Emplate sucks the marrow from Jonoıs bones with the mouth in his palm, and Sean wails. Emplate rechannels Jonoıs and Seanıs powers back at them, but Ev just absorbs it. Jono blasts full-force, which Emplate didnıt think was possible. The rest of the team arrives courtesy Gatewayıs portal; Emplate canıt read M, but she knows him. Paige attacks and gets bloodied, and Sean remembers the deaths of John Proudstar (Uncanny X-Men 94) and Blink (X-Men II:37), but Jubes just rips her skin off, to release her new form underneath. Emplate promises to eat each of them, but then fades away. Emma telepathically stops M from rushing him, but she bristles at the intrusion. Emma has also masked them all from the crowd. Jubes welcomes Jono to the team. Emplate returns to his lighthouse (?), hungry, but the captive he feeds on has escaped. Back at school, Angelo lights a cigarette, Emma enjoys their victory, and Gateway is on the lawn. Sean demands answers, but he just says, ³Penance² and leaves a girl lying nearby.

He ignores her, of course, and Ev has to stop her from hitting him with a flashlight. They leave Gateway with his regrets. Emma bandages Seanıs hands, cut when he carried Penance inside. She offers to dull his pain, but he warns her to stay out of his head. Emma canıt read Penanceıs mind, but M deduces that Emplate has been feeding on her. Angelo and Paige play Scrabble: he calls her a hick; she calls him a loser. Jono stands outside in a major storm, and then alarms go off: Penance has escaped, trashing the infirmary. Bxlomrmlezq! The team searches for her, but she runs toward the river to Jono, who is also trapped in a ravaged body. Paige tries to impress Sean but is still unskilled. Emma is infuriated by M, who is too skilled and condescending. In Monaco, a gunman tries to assassinate Mıs father, but his gauntlet and then his hand are invisibly yanked off.

Penance plays possum and then counterattacks; Sean screams, but she just uses the blast as momentum to burrow away.
