"Don't worry" ! As though I could help worrying about the one I love. But I can never tell her! I have no right! Not while I'm leader of the X-men, and confined to this wheel chair!







Never to be mentioned again !







...until X-men #53, in which Onslaught takes Jean through a little psychic magical mystery tour and Onslaught reveals that scene to Jean. It was made to seem like Onslaughts influence, but this happened years before Onslaught began to manifest.
