Some while ago in the letter column somebody asked about this, thinking that the point of divergence was the attempted assassination of Senator Kelly and wondering how that could be reconciled with (at the time) hints of earlier divergence. The reply said quite specifically that the point of divergence was the death of Jean Grey. Recent events suggest a more specific point of divergence: Jean/Dark-Phoenix's encounter with Jean's family, and their reactions. > Because, Colossus has a different middle name. Hm. I'd missed that, or forgotten it. Perhaps that should be "point of major divergence". The real point of divergence would have to be much earlier, and very subtle, to have such slight effects over wide geographic separations without perturbing the major events beyond recognition. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
