pad erases x-force from rahne's memory.

Where do these PAD x-positions get sent to?
I had some questions...

**Filthy Mutie** · 02-23-2011, 11:09 AM

Does this mean X-Factor-related threads can be moved over to the Marvel Universe board now?

**Toboe** · 02-23-2011, 11:18 AM

I love how PAD always brings up the crossover thing in all interviews.

This was truly a superb x-position. PAD really raised some valid points on the difference between X-Factor and the X-Men. I like that he basically said..."screw Scott, we're doing our own thing."

**cybrestrike** · 02-23-2011, 11:21 AM

I like it that PAD talked about Jamie and Scott's philosophical differences, and about how he sees X-Factor as Xavier's dream realized. Mutants and Humans living together in peace? Yeah, they've done that.

Happy that Darwin will make a future appearance.

Wish someone had got a question about Val Cooper asked, but a good X-Position nonetheless.

It's probably the one thing that he gets constantly pestered about. I see it as a running joke of sorts, the kind that he finds amusing.

pretty sure xavier didn't imagine charging flatscans for mutant services part of "the dream," but i digress..

Not participating in Age of X seems like a bit of a letdown.

Peter David doesn't want to associate his book with the X-men. It is why he is phasing out mutants in the book.

You mean because the questioner brings it up first?

Agreed. Very interesting.

Looks like the art of the upcomming issues will remain solid.

Man those were some though issues, when the art went really downhill.

I really like PAD's philosophical cut between Jamie and Scott towards how mutants should interact with the rest of the world. Actualy i would really like to see more of such internal difference discussions and dividing in the other X-titles. Instead of the majority just following the leader.

Yeah, he really shoehorned that in, by answering a direct question someone else had asked. Honestly, I'm glad he addressed the point in this interview, because it's time the 'all or nothing' attitude (that it's not really an X-book because it doesn't do the crossovers/link to Scott's leadership) was called out. Not every book about mutants has to tie to Utopia. How dull and reductive of the franchise would that be?
