Synopsis for "Elegy"

Reprint of the 1st story from
X-Men #138
X-Men past and present attend the graveside rites for their fallen team mate, Jean Grey. Jean's grieving parents and sister attend as well. As Scott listens to the eulogy, he thinks back over the years of his relationship with Jean Grey.

He recalls the earliest days of the X-Men and how, when Jean first joined the team, they were all in love with her. He then recalls the team's first battles with Magneto,[1] Vanisher,[2] and the Blob,[3] the formation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants,[4] and the X-Men's subsequent clashes with them.[5].

Scott's recollections range over the course of the X-Men's history: how distant he felt isolated from his teammates when Professor X briefly put him in charge of the school and how Warren began pursuing a relationship with Jean,[6] their encounter with Ka-Zar in the Savage Land,[7] the encounter with the Stranger that saw the defeat of their old enemies Magneto and Toad,[8] and their battles against the Juggernaut[9] and the Sentinels.[10].

In quick succession, he recalls battles against the likes of Mimic,[11] Count Nefaria,[12], the Locust,[13] Kulculkhan,[14] Banshee,[15] the Super-Adaptoid,[16] Warlock,[17] and Cobalt Man. He thinks back to how Warren's eventual relationship with Candy Southern cleared the way for Scott and Jean to pursue their own relationship.[18]

The threats would continue to come, however, with the return of Juggernaut (whom they defeated with the aid of Dr. Strange[19]), their battle with Tyrannus and the Mole Man,[20] their first encounter with Spider-Man,[21] Mekkano[22] and the ongoing war against Factor Three,[23] which ended with a graduation and the group getting unique costumes.[24]

Scott remembers the day they fought Grotesk,[25] a battle that saw the seeming demise of Professor X[26] and the temporary government-ordered dissolution of the X-Men. He recalls a non-stop whirlwind of adventures such as saving Lorna Dane from Mesmero and a Magneto robot,[27] rescuing his brother Alex from the Living Monolith,[28] stopping Larry Trask's Sentinels,[29] and battles with Sauron,[30] Magneto and his Savage Land Mutates,[31] and the Japanese mutant Sunfire.[32]

He then recalls how the very much alive Professor X resurfaced to prevent an invasion from the alien Z'Nox[33] and how Hank quit the team and was mutated into his more furry form.[34]

Scott's mind then focuses on the formation of the new X-Men to save the old team from the mutant island Krakoa,[35] and their first mission against Count Nefaria[36] that ended with Thunderbird's death.[37] He recalls the capture of Jean and several X-Men by Stephen Lang's Sentinels[38] that would lead to the rebirth of Jean as Phoenix,[39] battling the threats of Black Tom and Juggernaut,[40] the return of Magneto,[41] the arrival of Empress Lilandra[42] and how Phoenix saved the universe from destruction by stabilizing the M'kraan Crystal,[43] and their battle with Weapon Alpha.[44]

He recalls how their abductions by Mesmero[45] and Magneto[46] would lead Scott and Jean to each believe the other dead. Scott and the X-Men would go on to help save the Savage Land from Sauron[47] and Garrok,[48] then Japan from Moses Magnum.[49] The X-Men would again clash with Alpha Flight in Canada[50] over Wolverine.

While Cyclops and the X-Men were battling Arcade, Scott recalls, Jean was being secretly seduced by their old foe Mastermind.[51] He remembers their clash with Proteus[52] and how the team - now reunited with Phoenix - would meet Kitty Pryde and attempt to recruit her into the X-Men, only to be ambushed by the Hellfire Club,[53] and how the Hellfire Club manipulated Jean into becoming its Black Queen,[54] inadvertently unleashing her Dark Phoenix persona[55] and ultimately leading her to sacrifice her life.[56]

With Scott's recollection complete, he offers his condolences for Jean's parents. Lilandra offers them as well and gives the Greys a gift: A holomatrix globe that will fill them with Jean's essence whenever they touched it.

After most of the mourners have left, Scott informs the Professor and his team mates that he is quitting the X-Men. The Professor understands and wishes Scott the best of luck, remarking on how proud he is of him.

But just as one X-Men leaves their ranks, a new one arrives. A cab pulls up in front of Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and out comes Kitty Pride who sits on the steps waiting for the X-Men to come home from the funeral.

Synopsis for "The Child is Father To...?"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers #200
After experiencing an impossibly short two-day pregnancy, Ms. Marvel delivers a baby boy in the Avengers infirmary, attended by Dr. Donald Blake (a.k.a. Thor) and Jocasta. The Avengers treat the event like a happy normal occasion and coo over the infant. Ms. Marvel, however, is decidedly upset by the experience.

Overnight, Ms. Marvel’s child grows into a toddler and begins speaking. In just a few more hours, he is an adolescent boy but demonstrates an even more advanced intellect. He calls himself Marcus and gives evasive answers to questions about where he came from. He promises to explain everything just as soon as he can complete a secret project. Given technical gear to work with, he sets to work creating a sophisticated device.

Meanwhile, all around the NYC area, people are experiencing shifts in time, either being transported to different eras themselves or encountering historical or futuristic beings.

Initially, Ms. Marvel refuses to even see her child, but Wonder Man persuades her to confront her problem, difficult as it might be. Thus, she goes to the lab and meets a now fully grown Marcus, who instantly recognizes her but alternately calls her “mother” and “Carol.” Ms. Marvel seems to recognize his face but can’t recall how.

Just then, the mansion comes under attack… by a T-Rex! Spaceships and WWI era fighter planes buzz the mansion as well. While Iron-Man and the Vision tackle them, the rest of the team inside the mansion encounter various other time-displaced, aggressive intruders. Hawkeye, who has been especially suspicious of Marcus all along, ducks out of the melee, intent on confronting him in the lab.

Down in the lab, all the other Avengers (aside from Ms. Marvel) depart to join the fighting. Carol shoves Dr. Blake into a secure room for his protection and he uses the opportunity to transform into Thor and join the battle. Marcus assures Carol that everything will be alright just as soon as he activates his device, a time flux generator. Carol demands answers from him but he knocks her out. Seeing this, Hawkeye assumes Marcus is a straight-out villain and destroys the machine with an explosive arrow.

Thor and Iron-Man burst into the lab. Marcus is ready to take them all on, but Ms. Marvel (who has recovered) intervenes, stating that she will defend them from him. Marcus then admits he merely wanted to goad them into killing him!

He goes on to explain that he is actually the son of the Avengers' old foe Immortus. Ages ago, the master of limbo had rescued a doomed survivor of a shipwreck, an unnamed woman, and brought her to limbo to be his consort. Together, they produced Marcus. The woman eventually had to return to her point in time and Immortus himself was killed (actually, his predecessor Kang was killed, thus negating Immortus's existence). Marcus was left alone and as a child born in limbo, he could not exist on Earth without disrupting the timeline. He devised a plan to be re-born on Earth: he plucked Carol out of time, brought her to limbo and wooed her. (Marcus specifically mentions “...admittedly with a subtle boost from Immortus’ machines…”, baldly stating that she was mentally manipulated.) Once he implanted his seed in her, he restored her to her own point in time so that she could give birth to him. Marcus intended his machine to stabilize his presence on Earth, but since it has now been destroyed, his only options are either to return to a lonely existence in limbo or die.

Carol takes pity on him. She tells her male compatriots that she realizes she has feelings for him and wants to be with him. Thus, Thor transports the pair of them to limbo. The time disruptions immediately vanish and Ms. Marvel is gone.
