Hey, Jay, so do the X-Men have any location specific spin-off teams like, you know, the Great Lakes Avengers?

Uh, yeah, there's the X-Men Peoria.

I would love to read that book.

No, I'm sorry, that doesn't exist, I'm lying.

But I guess, yeah, I count X-Caliber.

The first iteration was based in the UK, and then there was the later team in Genosha.

Oh, man, I forgot about the Genosha X-Caliber team.

That was the run that established that Grant Morrison's Magneto wasn't the real Magneto, right?

Correct, and it was also the run that included Professor X hallucinating serving in the army with Kate Pride's dad and Logan.

Oh, also, Eunice the Untouchable joined the team, which was somewhat surprising.

How did Xavier get Eunice to join up?

Inspiring speech about the dream of condescending paternalism?

He had a teenager turned into a giant monster and eat Eunice.

WHAT?!

I'm J-Edit.
