Great Leap Forward

This is now home for my 1980's X-Men PBEM. The story picking up around the 180's of the classic X-Men series - issue 184 has been excised and 185 moved to its place. We open with a new issue 185 and the arrival of Rachel Summers in the 'real' timeline.

The alternate title for the game is "What if Louise Simonson (nee Jones) never stopped being the X-Men editor?"

At a fan's request, here is the list I gave the players of what will never be appearing in this game:

The Beyonder (aside from references to Secret Wars I); Fenris; Freedom Force; X-Factor; A living Jean Grey; Cyclops as a Deadbeat Dad; Magus; Warlock; Douglock; the technovirus in any way shape or form; The Marauders; anyone being brainwashed into becoming a Ninja; Mojo; Mojoworld; Longshot of the Mojoworld; People being mutated by the Mojoworld; "Dying in Dallas"; Siege Perilous; Infernos; Malice; Goblin Queens; Mr. Sinister; Nanny; Lady Deathstrike; X-Tinction Agendas; X-Men Team Blue and X-Men Team Gold; Cable; Bishop; X-icutioners Songs; Stryfe; Pretty much any Evil Clones; Apocalypse; Ages of Apocalypse; Ages of anything, really; Onslaughts; Cassandra Nova.

Who are the Morlocks

I’ve had reason with recent plot arcs to further familiarize myself with what happened to the Morlocks after I stopped reading X-Men around issue 200. And the answer is that they fell prey to the Stupid. But since I’m not going to replicate much if anything from those stories in my own X-Men PBEM, and have already had significant divergences from them, its best I think to break down who the Morlocks are.
