In Banshee: Reserve X-Man: A John Byrne quote from Comics Creators On X-Men was added about Chris Claremont originally intending Professor X as the father of Proteus.
In Wolverine’s Secret Origin: In the part about Sabretooth and the Maruaders, the Wolverine: Deep Cut limited series by Chris Claremont from 2024 got referenced for Wolverine inadvertently freeing the originals of Mr. Sinister’s cloned Marauders.
In Nightcrawler’s Forbidden Origin: X-Men Blue: Origins #1 from 2023 got referenced at the end for making Mystique and Destiny Nightcrawler’s parents after all.
In Jean Grey’s Return In X-Factor: A few 2023 interview quotes from Bob Layton about how the return of Jean Grey came about instead of Dazzler joining and why he quit working on X-Factor were added. I also added quotes from Bob Harras from Comics Creators On X-Men about why Louise Simonson was chosen as new writer and expanded Louise Simonson’s comments about the same subject from her chapter in Comics Creators On X-Men. And the Wolverine: Deep Cut limited series by Chris Claremont from 2024 got referenced for Mr. Sinister’s orphanage where Cyclops grew up getting blown up.
In Cosmic Comedy with Excalibur: A 2024 interview quote from Alan Davis about why he initially quit drawing the series while Chris Claremont was writing it was added.
In Strip-mining Wolverine: Wolverine vol. 3 #50-55 from 2007 were referenced twice, first for Romolus being behind the Weapon X project instead of Apocalypse, and then for Silver Fox having both been killed by Sabretooth in the wild west and turning up alive as a Hydra agent.
In Upstarts, High-Lords and Armageddon: I added John Byrne quotes from Wizard #3 about his ideas for the X-Men were while he was scripting the books in 1991, including a new mutant massacre.
In Post-Apocalypse: The part about Adam X as the third Summers brother was expanded to now reference X-Men Legends #1 and 2 from 2021. The part about Senator Kelly’s telepathic aide in Uncanny X-Men by Scott Lobdell was expanded with info about the aide from Larry Hama’s Wolverine run.
In Taking The X-Men to The Extreme: Mentions of “the end of Claremont’s association with the X-Men” were deleted as he would continue to produce limited series and one-shots with X-Men characters after the X-Men Forever series ended. The 2014 Nightcrawler series got referenced for Nightcrawler remembering Bloody Bess of the Crimson Pirates, but it wasn’t revealed from where.
AND… I’m considering writing another chapter covering Generation X by Scott Lobdell and Chris Bachalo, Grant Morrison’s run on New X-Men and Chuck Austen’s attempt to explain why it wasn’t the real Magneto Morrison killed off. Expect this new chapter sometime later in the year 2026.
