Summary

In Episode 69 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Josh Cornillon slither about with Miranda Leevald, the serpentine Stacy X! Created by Joe Casey and Tom Raney, Stacy employs her pheromonal power over the endocrine system in her career as a sex worker at the X-Ranch, a mutant brothel in Nevada. Rescued by the X-Men from a vicious attack, she becomes a prominent member of the Uncanny X-Men field team during Casey's brief tenure on the title, before exiting abruptly under the following writer, Chuck Austen. After decades of shabby treatment since, the character has found new purpose on Krakoa.

The CEREBRO character file on Stacy X begins at 1:19:32.

(Content Advisory: Stacy's story includes sexual violence including implied child sex abuse, domestic violence, survival sex work, torture, and transphobia directed at another character.)

0:46.6	previously on the show for episode 34 on Megon Gwynn, aka Pixie, artist extraordinaire. Josh, how are you today? I'm doing good. I'm doing great.
0:58.1	I'm excited to be back to talk about just a stunning part of X-Men lore. Yeah, an icon, really.
1:05.8	I think as gay people, we have really ruined the word iconic. And yet it's all that Stacey can be described as.
1:11.6	Yet Stacey X is iconic. We are here for episode 69 of Cerebro to talk about Stacey, whose real name
1:20.8	apparently is Miranda Levald, but don't worry about it. We're going to call her Stacey because her name
1:25.7	Stacey. It makes sense.
1:27.7	If you are a sex worker, it makes sense to have perhaps a working name. Like if she's at the
