Professor X & Storm's Relationship Revoked After 50 Years (Spoilers)

By making Storm the Regent Of Sol and the Queen of Arakko, Marvel Comics has brought Storm back to her earliest of days in the X-Men.

By making Storm the Regent Of Sol and the Queen of Arakko, Marvel Comics has brought Storm back to her earliest of days in the X-Men, and today's X-Men: Red #11, coming out of Sins Of Sinister, draws that line back to the past, of 1975. Almost fifty years ago.

The time, as now, had Storm looking after her people, nurturing the crops of the people who gave her a home and support when she had neither.

Just as she was, in Giant Sized-X-Men #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum.

Before she was to meet one Charles Xavier, to help her deal with the island Krakoa…

… the more things change, the more they stay the same.

And we see that revisited today.

And a division between the remaining founder of the Krakoan nation, and his regent, Ororo Monroe, Storm, who has a very different take on things now. We have a Prime Minster in opposition to his Queen – and not a queen he ever voted for. Quite apposite considering the events of this weekend.

Charles Xavier has seen his future Sins Of Sinister self-controlling and abusing others with his telepathic control and insight. But just as with Forge in today's Rogue And Gambit #4 regretting his decisions regarding the creation of a lifeform from mutant DNA to use as a weapon…

…so Professor Xavier has the same doubts… whether to use the power or not, and the consequences that would play out.

I guess that's what Emma Frost should be used for… as in today's Invincible Iron Man #6.

But one way or another, as Charles Xavier finds out Magneto's last wishes and requests… even as he is returning over in Scarlet Witch…

And a final parting of way… as Storm goes back to the farm, back to her planet, back to her lands… and back to her date.
