Just when was the point of divergence supposed to be?
I'd always assumed it was much, much earlier than the Phoenix-saga-era.
Because, Colossus has a different middle name. 
    This isn't a nonsensical reason. Russian middle names are
patryonimics (?) , or forms of the father's name. Instead of Nikolievitch,
Piotr's middle name is Alexandrievitch (I think) in the Future past
stories. So, if Peter's dad's name was different, or he had a 
different father, the dichotomy must have an earlier origin than
even the creation of Jean as Phoenix.  Any comments?
    (I'd also like to make a small note that the patryonimic-thing
proved Claremont will admit mistakes, though not out loud. Illyana;s
middle name changed from Natalyanova to Nikolievna.)
