Summary

In which Nimrod is probably an honorary Summers by this point; Claremont hits a centennial; it’s probably pretty hard to get an unconscious person into tight leather pants; the X-Men finally encounter a world that actually hates and fears them; and the Power Pack fits somewhat uneasily with the grown-up Marvel Universe.
X-PLAINED:
- Nimrod
- Uncanny X-Men #193-195
- Thunderbird II (James Proudstar)
- Situation-inappropriate attire
- The worst Hellions
- Firestar (Angelica Jones)
- Why you call ahead before breaking into NORAD
- Leadership
- Public opinion
- Juggernaut fights
- How the X-Men wake up
- Nazgûl
- Tyranny of the Masses: The Robot
- The Voltron Special
- The Power Pack
- Navigating crossovers

| 0:00.0 | Hey Rachel, what's you're reading? |
| 0:01.4 | New X-Men. |

| 0:40.2 | Nope. |
| 0:40.8 | Forge messed with the tech he installed |
| 0:42.2 | so that Nimron didn't jump in time but hopped between dimensions to the main Marvel Universe, the 6, 6. |
| 0:46.0 | Still significantly later than he intended to end up, so he tracked down that forge and tried to get him to send him back. |
