A friend and I were talking about the current storyline in X-Men and X-Factor and she came up with a real doozy which I am posting since Reed alums can't post to the net. X-Factor is a *mutant hunting* organization. Moreover, it is an organization in which *mutants hunt mutants*. Never mind that Warren and Scott and Bobby and Hank and Jean all have the best intentions in mind; X-Factor *hunts down mutants*. Now think about Rachel's universe, in which *mutants hunt mutants*. If X-Factor and Freedom Force ever got together... Maybe nothing has changed. Maybe Rachel's universe IS STILL THE X-MEN'S FUTURE!!! Especially if Freedom Force took over X-Factor at some point and began by executing the original X-Men. Rachel's memories would be essentially correct. Xavier's mansion would be next to go. Except for Illyana's age at her death, the events would correspond. I think it makes sense. Ellen Eades -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Who's been repeating all that hard stuff to you?"
