Okay, fair point. I haven't heard anything about them from him, but you must admit that he has had something bad to say about
almost everybody he has collaborated with at Marvel, right?

Anyhow, you know what I would love, if one of you folks could find for me, is a citation for the bit about how Claremont had to change his Fury/Jim Jaspers storyline. It's something we all seem to "know" is true, but I would like to see a quote from Claremont where he SAYS it is true.

Do you mean a quote from Claremont himself, or just the reason for why it all was changed?

I think I have this one. Not my favorite idea of his, but there isn't anything wrong with it in my opinion, and at least Kitty would have been in a book, since it turned out that she wasn't in any book at all. Anyways, here it is...

“My intent was to have Sue [Storm] “adopt” Kitty, seeing in her a classic troubled teen on the verge of going majorly bad. She would sort of function as Franklin’s big sister. (Since nobody was using her in the X-Men, I figured nobody would mind me sliding her over to the Fantastic Four. My mistake. Boyoboy can Marvel editors be territorial!) So that plot thread crashed and burned, and then when I tried it in X-Men (2nd Series) #100, it crashed and burned, and then when I tried to launch Kitty’s mini series, that got approved, got an artist assigned to the project (Lee Moder) and then it got shot down, crashed and burned!”
