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.) --Kathy Li
