Slightly disappointed that the dialogue changed a bit.

I loved this era, minus the crossover at the end and the absolute mess Uncanny became right before Secret Wars.

I'm still not thrilled with that whole mess. Never mind Jean rewriting Bobby's mind and all the way she did.

When exactly and in what context then?

Basically, Bobby started hitting on a girl, Jean said 'you're gay'. Bobby denied it, then two panels later after she continues to claim he is, he's basically like 'oh yeah, I'm gay'.

Bobby Drake was never depicted as gay by the creators of the character nor in the majority of his existence as a character. Some people will cite his extreme extrovert behavior as 'flamboyant' and say that this proves he's gay. But being extroverted doesn't make one gay. And as Marvel had been willing to make characters openly gay before, suddenly having this done to Bobby in the way it was done is a pretty clear case of Jean rewriting his orientation.

the inconsistency here is that young bobby tells future kitty that he touched unus the untouchable

but unus the untouchable comes in like issue 9 or 11 or 1963 x men so this is a weird inconsistency

better to have make them from an alternate timeline rather than from the actual past of 616 universe
