Yes, this is true. Others have stated that Illinois requires that
bartenders be 21.

No more unusual than the "married at 18, but no celebration until 21"
that the US has.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Lee Forrester...just to stir up some trouble. What can she teach?
Don't know, but maybe star navigation? That would be useful for flyers.

Strange as it might sound, how about Dr. Connors, the Lizard? I can see him
fitting in pretty well...but I guess the Spiderman universe wouldn't want
him to be used.

Wolfsbane had enough smarts for Moira MacTaggert to recruit her as an assistant
for research into stopping the Legacy Virus.

But Cyclops stupidly put the kibosh on Ms. Sinclair. (Maybe he was too
distracted by thoughts of Emma's 'Hi, I'm A Slut' costume).

In England and Wales, if you are 16 or 17, you still need parental/guardian
permission to marry, which is no different than in nearly every state in the
US.

As others have explained, it was the case.

The Lizard's in jail at the moment, having turned himself in, so he's
really off limits generally for now.

Could be some sort of rehabilitation scheme?

Well I dunno about Ray, but Clairemont seems to be playing Kitty rather
like pre-Tara Willow.

Thanks for all the answers. Of course in true Marvel-fashion they
raised some new questions but at least I've now gotten the grasp of
Kitty's appearances in the past few years. She's my favourite
character and I'm trying to get hold of as many titles as possible
with her.

The other day I found an Excalibur off shoot written by Clearmont in a
used comics store. It was a mini series that I don't remember the
title of but it's about Kitty and Rachel being thrown back in time to
the 30s. In the story they get involved in a plot where a group of
nobles in England is collaborating with the nazis. Wolverine appears
and Kitty falls in love with an english pilot.

I kinda liked it until the final issue ruined everything for me. I was
just wondering what the opinion on this group was about that mini
series?

Was GLMK 2 any good?

And finally, what is Storm and Kitty's relationship these days?

That'd be "True Friends" I guess

I liked it. Would have liked it even more had it been released when it
was supposed to be.

X-MEN: TRUE FRIENDS. Two good issues and an absolutely fucking awful
final one.

The story was originally meant to appear in EXCALIBUR SPECIAL EDITION
#3-4, back around 1990. It was shelved, partially completed, after
Claremont left Marvel. Then they dug it up, finished it, and released
it as TRUE FRIENDS.

The crap issue is the new one, as far as I'm aware, but in fairness, I
don't suppose they radically overhauled a previously good story in order
to make it crap.

 >Was GLMK 2 any good?

It's okay, yes. It suffers a little from having movie characters
shoehorned in where they don't fit - Lady Deathstrike really shouldn't
be in it. But it's perfectly enjoyable stuff, overall.
