Well done Andy! I hadn't heard of that one. Before Ann's second hint, I was trying to cram Magneto into Armageddon to give the classic, well remembered X-Event Armagnetton! Rubbish event, but with a good Def Leppard soundtrack.  Thoth, LOL  And I appreciate the kind words about Def Leppard.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Ooh, really gettin' it (All 384 multiple covers)? - Yes, Armagneton it!

Yes. The two storylines are X-Cutioner's Song and Fatal Attractions. The first, my favorite X-Men event of all time, and possibly my favorite superhero event ever. The second, my least favorite X-Men event of all time, and the beginning of the end as far as my "real time" involvement in the X-Men. The franchise kinda sorta bounced back with Age of Apocalypse, but immediately after that one, Fabian Nicieza was fired, driving the final nail in the coffin.
Over to you, Andy. Wow, how quality goes up and down over the X-verse! I read part of X-Cutioner's Song early on, before reading the full thing by borrowing my aunt's collection. Quite nice. Fatal Attractions I also had read part of, but the part I did read didn't grab me enough to seek out the rest.

Let's stay in the X-Verse (since that's what I'm reading right now so that seems convenient)...
Xavier pulls together a team to head into Shi'Ar space in order to warn them of a coming threat. He has picked some of his team for very specific reasons.
Why are Rachel Summers and James Proudstar on the team?

They're both linked to some cosmic entity, and so if *they* say it's a threat then it must be a big one?

Rachel was there because of her link to the Phoenix Force and also because of her family relationship with Vulcan?
I remember reading about why James was there, but dang,, I forgot... was he ever linked to the Phoenix Force? I'm pretty sure there was another reason...

Nope to both guesses Ibby - there was another person on the team for their relationship to Vulcan
And Thoth, unfortunately the link to their respective cosmic identities is not part of it. In fact, at the time of the story, Rachel was an outlaw in Shi'Ar space for her connection to the Phoenix

Ah, it was Havok for the relationship to Vulcan then...
Was Xavier telepathic then?
Rachel for her telepathy
Warpath for... um... I really knew this before. Darn. I know he became close to Hepzibah, but this wasn't the reason for joining, right? Ok... Warpath because he had a grudge against Prof X, and Prof X wanted him along to "keep him on the straight and narrow" / question his judgment calls?

You got it
Rachel was needed because Xavier did not have telepathy at the time.
Warpath was chosen because he hated Professor X at one point (after all, he did kidnap Charles once) and Charles wanted someone on the team who could understand Vulcan's feelings.
Over to you, Ibby

Hah, nice! glad my memory managed to kick in.

When the JSA went through a split / schism, spouses Liberty Belle and Hourman chose to go on different teams. Why?

Nope. Well, maybe somewhat, but it was not the main reason they decided to join separate teams.

Not:
- anything to do with their marriage
- to keep an eye on Magog

Nope.
It was not to baby sit a certain single hero...

One wanted to develop legacy heroes and the other one... um.. didn't?

Nope.
Clue: this doesn't relate specifically to either team's purpose or philosophy on crime-fighting
When the JSA went through a split / schism, spouses Liberty Belle and Hourman chose to go on different teams. Why?
Clue:
- happened after the Gog "schism"
Not:
- anything to do with their marriage
- to keep an eye on Magog or on Damage or on any specific hero
- to follow Gog
- related to opinions on developing legacy heroes
- related to the philosophy of either schism

Not very knowledgeable about this team or era but did it have something to do with the Speed Force side of Jesse's powers? Something else to do with her "Jesse Quick" aspect and the original Flash Jay Garrick maybe, splitting up the speedsters or on the other hand needing to put them both on the same team?

no, it had nothing to do with powers.
think about the advantages of having a superhero couple on separate teams. What are the advantages for the teams?
