You know, Miles, it's kind of shocking that Serebro's never gone evil.

Oh, hey, Jay. Uh, you mean given the whole danger situation?

I mean, I guess there was the time when it thought it was the professor and tried to, you know,

collect mutants to protect them from the world.

I don't know. That's pretty benign as far as Villainy goes.

Serebro's had some wild times, though. Remember when Beast used it to find humans to eat in Marvell Zombies?

I try not to, but wait, I thought only telepaths could use Serebro.

Nah, Kate Pride fixed it so that non telepaths could use it when Nightcrawler went missing

after their fight with Nimrod, but everyone just kind of forgot about that.

Huh. I mean, not that she should have needed to.

Like Cyclops was using it way back when it ran on punch cards.

What?

I'm Jay Editing, and I'm Miles Stokes, and we are here to explain the X-Men,

because it's about time someone did. Welcome to episode 417 of Jay and Miles,

explain the X-Men where we walk you through the ins, the outs, and the retcons of comics,

greatest superhero soap opera. And welcome back to a comics run most in

intriguing. We are back with Uncanny X-Men and X-Men today, but more generally with comics.

So after a long absence, I'm going to be working San Diego Comic Con for my day job,

which is Dark Horse Comic. So if you happen to be there and you want to say hi, please do so.

But also, like, remind me who you are, because I'm not great with faces at the best of times,

and the last few years have been a lot.

A long absence, like, your whole life up to this point?
