It used to be that they were dead if you saw the body. Not any more.

We gave up on the Xmen a while ago, and I'm glad we did. The best thing ******** ever did was die.

If it wasn't for the hair and some coloring effects I would have had no idea who I was looking at. When did Alan Davis' art go to hell? That is the ugliest I've ever seen ******** look.

I agree Scott. I wouldn't have recognized ***** if not for ***'s power showing.
Why even bring this character back? I wanted Colossus back, but was willing to stop there.

Can't disagree with you there.

X-continuity is so convoluted and utterly forgetable, I forgot: what happened to the woman with Betsy's old (white) body? "Revanche?" (or whatever the hell her name was) I so don't remember that story and I'll probably be sorry for asking ...
I couldn't help but think that she's back only because either Claremont and or Davis didn't want her to really be dead.

Revanche ended up dying from the Legacy Virus in (just) X-MEN, somewhere in the 30's I believe... it was after Scott and Jean's wedding, while Andy Kubert was drawing the title. Like you say, utterly forgettable.
I think Claremont was roped into getting rid of her... too many psi's in the X-books and editorial probably said Betsy had to go.
