Hmm...."burning out".

Are there no old mutants? What about Magneto?

He just burned out.

This gets me excited for the next issue, as I rather like Paul Smith's work.

As usual I'm off topic, but when I went to the link about where the X-multitudes were in 1991 (I didn't have time to read comics back then, not even Spidey, since I was learning how to be a stepmomster), it said: "The London based team still includes Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde in its ranks. At this point, half the team’s adventures seem to involve parallel realities and alternate timelines. Lockheed the Dragon has recently been revealed to be a sentient member of a telepathic race (though only we readers know that) and is recovering from injuries."

Can anyone point me to the right issues of whatever (Excalibur?) for that? I thought it was all Jossed up with that nasty Agent in Astonishing but apparently it was canon. Lockheed is one of my favorites, and I'd like to have some background on this.

Thx.

Elfdame, see the "significant issues" list at the bottom of this page:

It looks like it might have been Excalibur#40.

Is this just an Xmen Forever "burn-out theory"....or do you think 616 mutants could be burning out?

I'm not sure, Jeremus. However, other Marvel writers have obviously taken some of Mr. Claremont's ideas and run with them. Who knows? Maybe so.

NO!
I want Nightcrawler to live to a ripe old age and have a happy life.
616 Burn-Out will be my Draco.
