On this week's episode your Solving Boys are joined by Charlie Peppers. We are so excited to talk X-Men with this X-Men: Evolution stan. Unfortunately the video did not come through since Podcastle sux, you must never use it! So much to chew on for this crazy episode featuring Mesmero!
Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. Comics legend Marjorie Liu joins our host Lodro Rinzler to discuss an incredibly fun and disturbing issue of X-Men! Before we sell you on all the hilarity, let's get real for a moment: Marjorie Liu is not just an extraordinary comic writer, she's also just a lovely, grounded, kind human being. It was an honor to have her on the show. Okay, now on to the silliness. In this episode we discuss how Marjorie writes from the gut and, in her words, her gut is really weird. Also, how she went through a cathartic experience writing X-23 (now Wolverine). Topics include: teenage Marjorie wrote X-Men fanfic in the Marvel Universe, a hat and trenchcoat is more than sufficient to disguise a six foot, blue, furry man Charles Xavier sends postcards from space Mesmero is a bag of dicks Also Mesmero read a Playboy once and thinks that's how people should always pose the Phoenix force has limits on how badly you can mess up Jean Grey At the end we answer questions from YOU! Yes, you! Then Marjorie Liu spits wisdom on how to be yourself even and especially when others are trying to tell you who you should become and how to transmute hatred and negativity into gold. This episode is not to be missed! Marjorie Liu is an attorney and New York Times bestselling novelist and comic book writer. Her work at Marvel includes X-23, Black Widow, Han Solo, Dark Wolverine and Astonishing X-Men. She is also the co-creator of Monstress from Image Comics, which has won multiple Hugo Awards, British Fantasy Awards, the Harvey Award, and five Eisner Awards, making Liu the first-ever woman (and woman of color) to win an Eisner in the Best Writer category. She teaches comic book writing at MIT. Marjorie's extensive work with Marvel includes the Dark Wolverine series, NYX: No Way Home, X-23, and Black Widow: The Name of the Rose. She received national media attention for Astonishing X-Men, which featured the gay wedding of X-Man Northstar and was subsequently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding media images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. You can find more of Marjorie over at her website.

Welcome to the X-Verse, Lorna Dane! Today we're bringing our team back together, and shipping them off to San Francisco to face off against Magneto's "noble pupil", the dread Mesmero! We get the return of (and the opportunity to say 'goodbye' to) the original X-Men logo, before it's Sterankized next ish! All'at plus the usual backmatter nonsense and more of my "insightful" tangents than anyone could (or should) handle! -- Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen
Intro Season finale New patron - Tamara Patreon paused for December Background (3:05) Polaris (Lorna Sally Dane) created by Arnold Drake and Jim Steranko in X-Men #49 (October 1968) Lorna Dane summoned to the X-Men by the mutant villain Mesmero, who mentally called upon all mutants to help him fight the team Magneto showed up to rescue her and claimed to be her father, explaining why she has his same magnetic abilities - Iceman spoke to her foster parents, who told her that her birth parents died in a plane crash - she joined the team and began a relationship with Havok Erik the Red, a Shi'ar agent, telepathically controlled her and gave her the name Polaris - she was freed by Xavier, but kept the name Gained a secondary ability to manipulate emotions and use them to enhance her own powers - this was removed after a battle with the Shadow King She & Havok were reserve X-Men for many years, until joining X-Factor - left the team after his apparent death Helped Magneto run Genosha for a while, as she felt she needed to make amends - she also learned better control over her powers - during this time, it was confirmed that Magneto was her father Rejoined the X-Men after the Genoshan massacre, although she was suffering from trauma as a result Got engaged to Havok, who left her at the altar for a nurse that he had a psychic affair with Was transformed into Pestilence by Apocalypse, and served as one of his Horsemen - after she is returned to normal, she once again quits the X-Men Joins the Starjammers, where she helps the Inhumans as Crystal's sister-in-law Later learns that her powers manifested at 3 years old - she witnessed her parents arguing about her mother's infidelity, and her ensuing emotional response triggered her latent magnetic abilities, which crashed the plane they were all on - Magneto showed up and had Mastermind wipe her mind of the memories Currently living on Krakoa where she's on a team investigating any mutant deaths Issues (6:36) Jeanine - Dealing with constantly revolving powers Her powers impacting those around her, as well as the electrical impulses in her brain (11;51) Her revolving door relationship with her father (18:36) Break (28:17) Plugs for BetterHelp, Take a Knee for Marvel Vs. DC, and Chris Claremont Treatment (29:53) In-universe - Create a machine to use her powers to help regulate her emotions Out of universe - (34:15) Skit (47:39) DOC: Hello Polaris, I'm Dr. Issues. POLARIS: So whaddya wanna talk about first? D: Just cut right to it, eh? P: Not one for beating around the bush. When you've seen the stuff I have, you don't waste time. D: Fair enough. Well if that's the case, I'll leave it up to you to choose the topic, and we can go from there. P: I don't like being manipulated. D: I'm sure you don't, like most people. P: I don't mean mislead or gaslit, I mean people actually getting into my brain and making me do things beyond my control. D: I'm...not sure how I can help with that other than to tell you to avoid situations where someone would get that opportunity. P: *bitter* Thanks for nothing. D: Wait! I'm not saying I can't help you completely, I'm saying I don't have psychic powers. I didn't know if that's what you were looking for; I didn't want to mislead you...which kind of ties in, right? *nervous laugh* P: Nice save. Yeah, I understand if you thought about it from a mutant perspective. No, I don't want any psychic stuff. I want...resilience I guess. D: You've survived, so that shows a baseline resilience. What sort of emotional and physical responses occur when you think about those situations? P: Everything. All of it. It's horrible. D: No wonder it's the first thing on your mind. Not to sound stereotypical, but trauma really does carry its own special kind of baggage. Is this recent stuff, or childhood, or both? P: This is where it gets weird. It started at childhood, but I didn't know about it, and then there were other problems as I got older that were unrelated to that, but were a direct result of the kid stuff. It sounds convoluted when I say it like that. D: And yet, I was able to follow. Families hide things to theoretically protect the innocent, but there's the risk of altering the relationship at a later age. P: Exactly! And then I have to sort out all of it. My father, my foster parents, Alex, the other ones who controlled me...it's too much. D: It sounds like a lot- P: *interrupting* And don't forget everyone that died...they didn't HAVE to die...I'm not saying it's my fault...but what if I didn't do enough...I'm not some hysterical monster! D: Whoa, I didn't say - P: And don't say it's not my fault. I had to be the embodiment of making the worst fears of humanity come true. Whenever someone powerful sees me, they automatically think of me as a commodity. And what's the fix? Mind wipe. False memories. But all I ever do is keep digging. Nobody was able to keep me from my own truth. D: Do you have - P: *clear pattern of interrupting from this point* Anybody to help? Yeah. I really do, but how can they understand? They can't. You can't understand. *frustrated* Ugh, what's the point of all this? I know that nobody else has the answers. D: What do you - P: I want trust! I want to be trusted, and to trust other people. Whenever I do, it backfires. I'm just so sick of- D: FIRST OFF, LET ME FINISH. P: Why are you shouting? D: *sigh* I'm trying to match your intensity...although that's a difficult task. You have identified the problem accurately. For some people, that takes years of counseling, so you're ahead of the curve. P: Well thank - D: I'm not done. HOWEVER, it's clear you're trying to compensate for a historical lack of control with an even bigger focus on commandeering a conversation to your whims. That won't work for longer periods with a professional. And… P: *pause* and what? D: Oh, I'm sorry, I was just expecting another interruption. Anyway, the point is, trust is not a light switch, even if everyone around you treats it like one. Does that make sense? P: Sure. But try convincing anyone close in my life of that. D: Not gonna give you any BS on that. You're going to struggle with this for a while. ***electrical sound effects*** what the hell is that? P: I didn't do anything. D: ***walking effects*** oh, I think we just had a power surge. ***thunder effect*** Damn weather is going crazy. You'd think Storm was… oh no... P: *more electrical effects, possible female scream* D: Are you okay?! P: *calm* Okay with what? D: You just look like you got electrocuted. I think we have a blackout in the area. P: That sounds bad. Who are you, by the way? D: NO! P: Oh...well, If you're gonna be a jerk about it, I'll introduce myself first. I'm - D: I know who you are...do you remember anything that you already said to me? P: I asked you who you are, and you have this freaked out look. I'm supposed to meet with a therapist, so if you're the assistant- D: Let's just reschedule...no wait, I think if…*rubbing shoes on carpet* hopefully I can build up the static P: It looks like you're a weird dancer so…*another electric shock sound* D: Ow! I hope that did it P: WHAT KIND OF SICKO PSYCHIATRIST ARE YOU SHOCKING ME LIKE THAT?! I spent all of this time pouring my heart out to you and you turn it into some joke? D: Um...you're welcome? P: Ugh. You're just like all of the others! *walks out of the office, door shuts* D: *shouting far* AT LEAST I GAVE YOU YOUR MEMORIES BACK!

If you're afraid of clowns, don't watch the X-Men Evolution episode "Mindbender" (but feel free to enjoy our recap). The show introduces the hypnotic villain Mesmero, who uses his powers to take over Jean's mind and get her to steal a bunch of jewelry for him. Soon, he also takes over the minds of several other X-Men and takes them on epic heists to steal more stuff. Unfortunately, Mesmero does all of that so he can start the process of awakening Apocalypse, but this episode is pretty fun anyway.

Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont X-Men material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME! In this episode we read a series of non-Uncanny issues that lead up to the in medias res start to Uncanny X-Men (1963) #111. First, we see what Magneto has been up to after his encounter with the team in UXM 104 in his Jack Kirby penned appearance in Captain America (1968) Annual 4. Then, we check out how Mesmero managed to mesmerize the full team of X-Men - and, especially, Jean Grey - in Classic X-Men (1986) #17. And, finally, we learn how Beast gets roped into this adventure (and what Havok and Polaris have been up to) in Marvel Team-Up (1972) #69. After all that, we're ready for UXM 111, and I'll be honest - we spend a lot of the time talking about how hot we think Magneto looks. Our conversation includes some minor comments and spoilers for House of X and Powers of X - especially for House of X #2, so you've been warned! We also comment very broadly on Reign of X, but in a non-spoiler fashion.

It's the Trials of Mastermind and Mesmero! These two villains have similar power sets... the ability to influence minds through illusions and hypnosis respectively. And both have used their powers to awful extent, removing the will of others and ordering them to do as they see fit. (Warning: sensitive content in this episode). Chad acts as judge, and our jury this time includes Cory Thomas! Justin and Alicia Wilder (of the X-Wife Podcast), Noelle Reed (of X-Men Unraveled), and Derek Kunsken (author of the Quantum Magician!)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Plus, Jim Steranko takes over the art on X-Men! It's Lorna Dane! Mesmero! And... the return of Magneto?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
(Sensitive content warning) Chad hosts a panel discussion featuring Susan Kirtley, Jessica Baldanzi, Carrie Harris, Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos, and Marsheila Rockwell all about the portrayal of mind control powers in comic books used for sexual assault. Chad (a survivor of sexual abuse) frames the conversation around stories from the 1940s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 2000s, showing the evolution of this topic over time. Following the Trials of Mastermind and Mesmero, which portray evidence of the removal of a woman's will, forcing them to submit to sexual assault, a more focused discussion was needed. This one has some weight to it. Give it a listen, and take care of yourself along the way. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
It's the first appearance of Lorna Dane, the daughter of Magneto, as well as that creeper, Mesmero! Plus, gorgeous Jim Steranko art! Chad is joined by a super-star combo of Matt Horak (X-Men Unlimited) and Susana Polo (of Polygon) for a wonderful episode that covers a lot of incredible territory. I love gathering groups of strangers and watching us all leave as friends. Among the topics covered in this episode... What is a Demi-Man? How do artists prepare for penciling in an Infinity comic format? The connections between Arnold Drake, the X-Men, and Doom Patrol! And the depiction of sexual assault in comic books.
