"She's Katie Kaboom, Katie Kaboom,
She lives in a house with a garden in bloom,
The family knows that anytime soon,
The little lady Katie goes KABOOM!"

Beast thinks he's dying so he's doing this one last thing to see if he can change present Cyclop's mind or prevent young Cyclops from going down this path. He has to do it quickly and return them back. I hear the original x-men don't want to or didn't plan to stay in the present.

I don't think he'll do it quickly

plus I don't think showing Cyke his younger self will make him have an epiphany

this is gonna be a train wreck for real

Well now I'm really intrigued.

spoilers:

Jean's TP unlocks automatically and she already knows she's dead. So what is it that's going to make her flip out?...Oh crap. It'll be Scott seeing her won't it?

T.Jean handles herself quite well, No angst, no emo, no nothing she just takes it and moves on attitude.

She did cry a little, but she did just learn she dies before she turns 30.

I think it's too soon for the emotional beats of this book. After the Cyclops confrontation we'll see Jean dealing with what happened to her.

Ultimate Jean also appears in the last page of Ultimate Comics X-Men #19.

I'm a bit let down spoilers:

she just started to use TP out of the blue.

end of spoilers It seemed way too cheap.

yeah I think it's because we thought or expected it to be a big moment.

It is odd. Also that she's using it so well already when she didn't even know she had the power an hour ago.

Seeing Scott really is going to be what makes her wig out.

Shouldn't she have had someone unlock it for her? How'd she get around it? That is a let down. Did coming to the future do something?

Seeing Scott's thoughts about Emma would make anyone wig out. Eeewww.

Bendis said time traveling would have consequences. Jean got her TP back when Xavier was going away and she changed into the Marvel Girl dress. I remember in X-Factor when she got her TP back. You know everyone is waiting for the Jean stuff to start.

Yeah that bugged me too. A lot. She had it blocked because she couldn't control it, spoilers:

and now she can put people to sleep? And Logan of all people? the guy that has TP resistance? I mean, come on.

That's what bugs me. Cause Bendis was going with the whole she didn't know she had it, so how could've unlock so easily? It was just weird. But most of all, it was just dissapointing as hell, cause you think that Jean unlocking this would be something that would deserve more than a few panels. It just felt like Bendis wanted a quick way to convince the 05 to do something. I don't know, these issues are double shipped so I don't know why they need to rush this story like this. maybe it'll make sense once the arc is finished.

[ariwl1]

Trying to rationalize it I guess when she first got TP she was 12 and in the middle of a highly traumatic event.

Now she's older, had some disciplined training, and hasn't been around many people yet. Wouldn't explain her sudden skill though.

I do like how Bendis has her excited about her powers.

Maybe in those early days Xavier had to actively keep those blocks in place. He was always there in those early days when Jean's TP was locked. Coming to the present means no one is there to keep the blocks in place. Though it does mean past Xavier would know the O5 aren't there?
