A time-stamp so bad that it gives the ones from Frank Miller’s All-Star Batman & Robin a serious run for their money in just how little sense it makes! From Chuck Austen’s most infamous X-Men storyline, The Draco, wherein the very first page of the issue flashing back to Nightcrawler’s birth is complete and utter FAIL:

To explain why Nightcrawler’s birth taking place “20-years ago” makes absolutely ZERO sense, when Kurt Wagner was established as a member of the all-new X-Men in Giant-Sized X-Men #1 during the mid-1970s, it was established that the youngest team member at the time was Colossus at age 18. And shortly after in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #129, Kitty Pryde joined the team at age 13 and-a-half. And to make matters even worse, shortly before The Draco came out in the early 2000s it was established in Chris Claremont’s X-Treme X-Men run that Kitty held a job bartender while attending the University of Chicago, and in the city of Chicago required people to be at least 21-years-old in order to have a bartending license at the time the series was written.

So that means at least 8-years had passed in-universe between Nightcrawler’s introduction to the X-Men and the Draco, and Kurt was obviously older than 18 in Giant-Sized X-Men #1. So there’s absolutely no way his birth took place “20-years-ago.”

You’d think an editor would have caught such an obvious mistake… but I guess not…

And that’s not even getting into the WORST aspects of The Draco, which not only made Nightcrawler’s father this Satan-wannabe named Azazel (which thankfully the recent X-Men Blue: Origins one-shot retconned by going with Claremont’s original plan of Mystique being Kurt’s true father and Destiny his mother…), but features Azazel stupidly plotting to escape from a Hell-like dimension he was trapped in by going to Earth to breed a bunch of mutant teleporters who could open a portal allowing him to return to Earth.

Except… if Azazel could already leave his dimension in order to have a bunch of babies on Earth, then what’s even the point of his plan in the first place?!

X-Men: Sage, a latex makeover (comic books, 2000-current)

.

Uncanny X-week Week, Day 3

In the new millennium the X-Man character, Tessa, would get a new name, a new job, an expanded backstory and a new shiny latex and leather wardrobe.

.

After 20 years in the background, now going by the name Sage, she would take center stage in the X-treme X-Men comic series (2001-2004)

.

A new dominating demeanor went with the new do'

.

The new Sage was much more hands on

.

... and scary

.(X-Men: The End)

Her old identity would pop in from time to time.

.

...with a few differences

.

But for all intents and purposes, the old, submissive, Tessa was gone.

.

.

... I think?

.

As the rest of the team shifted to more of a leather, street-wear biker look to be more in line with the rest of the X-books, so did Sage.

.

a final look back thru the years

Sage character bio

'

deep dive podcast (yeah, it's the same one from Tessa's entry)

.

When the X-Treme X-men title ran it's course Sage transitioned over into other X-Men books and with each new book a new, not quite as fetish-y, costume.

Sage would be regulated more and more to the background as the years went on.

She never totally faded away, though. The character is still active in the X-men comics to this day,

However, I prefer to remember the character of Sage like this, in her glory years-
