Since you said you liked the Rogue and Gambit twist I have to ask: What do you think about the Rogue and Magneto relationship? (Love your work btw, your chapter-by-chapter analysis has convinced me to study history)

Thanks very much! Very glad you decided to take up history.

It’s a fun star-crossed relationship, but it was specifically set up not to be able to work in the long run. Although Age of Apocalypse showed a more stable version, albeit with very different characters in both cases.

Personally, I find Magneto’s relationships with Lee Forrester and Briar Raleigh a bit more interesting, because it introduces a tension between his ideology and his personal life.
