The editors wish to thank comic greats Stan Lee and the late Jack Kirby, the real X - perts! We’ d also like to thank series editor Bill Irwin for his X -vision and X - traordinary editorial instincts! Love ya, Bill! Special thanks go to our beloved contributors, whose lively intellects and creativity help make this volume a superpower - packed X - ploration into the vast space -time of the X - Verse. We also want to give our appreciation to Connie Santisteban, Eric Nelson, and the entire Wiley team for their publishing super- prowess. As for the mutants: Beast, for being both a science geek and a badass; Wolverine, for being short; Mystique for bringing blue back into fashion; Phoenix Force, for being the ultimate sentient cosmic force of life and death (c ’ mon!); and every other mutant superhero, either in the pages of a Marvel comic or in the recesses of a human mind yet to begin a great hero ’ s journey . Jeremy wishes to personally thank Meg Lonergan, now an old pro at making things happen; she did an X - cellent job helping with the copy editing and the index — keep it up, Sparky! Nico Meyering and Nick Forst read versions of the manuscript and offered some useful initial feedback. Nick gets an X- tra “ thank you ” for donating his illustrating abilities (and his imagination) to the book. (Nick is responsible for Jeremy ’ s inner superhero at the end of chapter 17 .) Jeremy is grateful to his wife, Dorothy, for putting up with his eccentricities (yet again), and his daughter, Audrey, for letting him play with her toys. xi flast.indd xi 1/28/09 6:28:44 PM xii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Rebecca would like to send special thanks to “ Mighty ” George Dunn, Bob Housel, Aaron Fields, Connie Santisteban, Stephanie “ Shadowcat ” Collins, and Marguerite Schwartz for lending super- vision to sections of the Marvel -ous manuscript. Bill Irwin gets a Giant - Sized shout out for reading countless e - mails over four years with eighties trivia and X - Men pleas. Tom Morris also gets a nod for accepting Rebecca’ s fi rst article ever (!) on X - Men in his 2005 Superheroes volume. Rebecca ’s sincere appreciation goes to her husband, Bob, who lovingly made superhuman efforts in the domestic sphere while Rebecca typed away into the wee hours of the morning, and to her son, Gary, who has been her comic partner - in - crime for the better part of the last twenty years. flast.indd xii 1/28/09 6:28:44 PM X-MEN AND PHILOSOPHY flast.indd xiii 1/28/09 6:28:44 PM flast.indd xiv 1/28/09 6:28:44 PM INTRODUCTION You Are About to Embark on an X - perience with “ the Strangest Heroes of All ” 1 The X - Men franchise has made billions of dollars over the last forty - fi ve years from major motion pictures, animated televi- sion shows, video games, and, of course, the best -selling comic series in American history. 2 The Marvel X - Verse is a large and diverse place full of complex storylines, timelines, seemingly endless characters (can you believe the fi rst volume started with only seven?!), and — of course — philosophy .

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • “The Once and Future Juggernaut”
    WITH THE RECENT DEATHS OF CHARLES XAVIER AND WOLVERINE, THE JEAN GREY SCHOOL FOR HIGHER LEARNING HAS BEEN LEFT IN CHAOS. THE X-MEN ARE SPLINTERED AND BROKEN, AND WITH THE FUTURE OF MUTANTKIND HANGING IN THE BALANCE, IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES HAVE SET LIFELONG FRIENDS AGAINST EACH OTHER. IN THE WAKE OF THIS SCHISM, MANY OF THE X-MEN HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES LOST AND SEARCHING FOR PURPOSE. ONE OF THESE X-MEN IS PIOTR RASPUTIN, KNOWN AS COLOSSUS, A MAN WHOSE HAS BEEN LEFT SCARRED BY THE HORRORS IN HIS PAST. HE HAS SEEN HIS FAMILY TORN APART, EVEN HAVING HIS SISTER CAPTURED BY THE DEMON BELASCO AND INFECTED BY THE DARK MAGIC OF HIS REALM OF LIMBO. HE WATCHED AS THE WOMEN HE LOVED WERE KIDNAPPED, LOST, AND KILLED. HE HAS DIED AND BEEN RESURRECTED. AND HIS MIND POSSESSED AND PERVERTED BY BEINGS SUCH AS THE PHOENIX AND CYTTORAK. A MAN WHO ONCE STOOD AS A SHINING, METAL EXAMPLE OF GOOD HAS SEEN HIS SOUL TAINTED BY HIS CHOICES AND THE BLOOD OF THOSE HE HAS KILLED. DESPITE ALL THIS, HE WAS GIVEN A CHANCE AT REDEMPTION BY WOLVERINE, REJOINING THE X-MEN AT THE JEAN GREY SCHOOL. HOWEVER, FACING DOWN HIS DEMONS WILL TAKE MORE THAN JUST SOME FREE ROOM AND BOARD. “THE ONCE AND FUTURE JUGGERNAUT” PART ONE OF FOUR WRITER CHRISTOPHER YOST ARTIST JORGE FORNÉS COLORIST RACHELLE ROSENBERG LETTERER VC’S JOE CARAMAGNA COVER BY KRIS ANKA ASSISTANT EDITOR XANDER JAROWEY EDITOR MIKE MARTS EDITOR IN CHIEF AXEL ALONSO CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER JOE QUESADA PUBLISHER DAN BUCKLEY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ALAN FINE X-MEN CREATED BY STAN LEE AND JACK KIRBY AMAZING X-MEN No.

Palaeontology in the virtual era BOOK OF ABSTRACTS 6 4 PRESENTATION The 1st Palaeontological Virtual Congress (1st PVC) is just the natural consequence of the evolution of our surrounding world, with the emergence of new technologies that allow a wide range of communication possibilities. Within this context, the 1st PVC represents the frst attempt in palaeontology to take advantage of these new possibilites being the frst international palaeontology congress developed in a virtual environment. This online congress is pioneer in palaeontology, offering an exclusively virtual-developed environment to researchers all around the globe. The simplicity of this new format, giving international projection to the palaeontological research carried out by groups with limited economic resources (expensive registration fees, travel, accomodation and maintenance expenses), is one of our main achievements. This new format combines the benefts of traditional meetings (i.e., providing a forum for discussion, including guest lectures, feld trips or the production of an abstract book) with the advantages of the online platforms, which allow to reach a high number of researchers along the world, promoting the participation of palaeontologists from developing countries.
