how did all those cosmic beings sneak onto the list? if you want cosmic beings: 1) Order and Chaos 2) Eternity 3) Simonson's Odin 4) Dark Phoenix 5) The Celestials (yuk) 6) Galactus 7) All the Watchers 8) Franklin Richards i mention Simonson's Odin because he's obviously a different Odin than the wimpy god that got his butt whipped by the Celestials (yuk). i also include Phoenix even though she is not alive because to the best of my knowledge, none of these characters are really alive (reality begins to creep in)

Right, issue 200 is just around the corner. I mean, look at
the blow off we had in 175. We have to outdo that in 200 (I
don't remember what happened in 150, offhand, and I never
read 100...). Actually, maybe Maddy will be involved (again,
gasp, poor kid). I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another
hoax like 175 with Mastermind. Grr. Well, you all know how
I feel about Jean Gray. I know we probably won't see her alive
again, and it probably would be bogus if we did. Guess I'll
just have to read some more "What if's"...

X-Men #150 was a double-sized issue confronting Magneto, where Storm could have killed Magneto and couldn't bring herself to do so, and where we found out Magneto's reasons for wanting to conquor the world. It's one of my favorite X-Men issues, along with #141-142. X-Men #100 had Sentinels shaped like the old X-Men fighting the new X-Men. Wolverine ripped the Marvel Girl-Sentinel in half. Sure he knew it was a robot... I don't recall anything special happening in #125. That may have been before they started making every 25 issues a special. > Actually, maybe Maddy will be involved (again, gasp, poor kid). I suppose #200 will be either the birth of Rachel or the marriage of Magneto and Aletys Forrestor. Or they'll save one for a annual - lord knows the last two have been abysmal (separate flame, if I get around to it). > I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another hoax like 175 > with Mastermind. I liked seeing Cyclops singlehandedly defeat all the new X-Men. I can't imagine why Wolverine didn't perform a quick lobotomy on Mastermind for messing with Mariko's mind. > Well, you all know how I feel about Jean Gray. *I* don't? Did I miss something? > Guess I'll just have to read some more "What if's"... Why? You *know* that everyone will just die, as always. :-( Carl ..!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher

Boy, they better NOT ressurect Jean in #200!!! Actually, I'm certain they
won't. I agree with your feelings about #175. Although even though I didn't
appreciate even a glancing reference to Jean/Phoenix in #175, it was a well-
crafted hoax. The Mastermind is one tough character--kind of makes you
wonder what ol' Charley would be capable of if he really put his mind to
it ;-). Nah, for #200 Claremont had better come up with something awesome
(like totally)! I don't mean just a double-sized tie-up-loose-ends issue,
either!
