It baffles me how so many people assumed Emma took the moral high ground when all she ever did was comment (and in some cases, sympathize) with Xavier’s unsavory decisions. She never claimed to be a saint.

Well I’m glad that he gave us some commentary on the issue and I’m glad that I was on the right track. He obviously didn’t need to give the commentary, but I wanted the loaded topic to die down so I decided to ask the question and hear it from the Scribe’s mouth himself. I hope the people who did have issues with the writing consider Carey’s intentions behind the conversation. And I honestly felt that she never took the moral high ground or past judgement.

Thanks for the mention Aimee… :p

It did not need any justification to start with since all this was pretty clearly spelled out in the issue itself. In the first two pages to be more specific, you just had to keep that in mind when you read the rest of it.

Did you read Xavier in the Silver Age btw? He could be a real **** at times. Carey’s portrayal is fully in line with that I feel. If he were real I would also be very surprised if what has been revealed so far is all of his hidden skeletons. You’d have to be a real saint not to “misuse” that kind of power more often, especially with all that he has had to contend with in his life.

I don’t think Xavier will upstage Emma anytime soon, he’s yet to kill a horse for starters. :)

Personally I like that the Marvel Universe is transforming into a more gray/dark/realistic direction. I just don’t buy that most people/heroes remain goody two-shoes regardless of what bad things happen to them. Which it does, year after year. These things are bound to affect you sooner or later.
