X-Men #10: "Brinkmanship"



"All the characters currently in play have been announced. There will probably be some flex coming down the line. It's not a team I would say is firmly structured, like the Avengers, for instance. With the Avengers, it's like, these are the big Marvel characters. Whereas with X-Men, it's like, here are some big-name X-Men characters, here are some smaller-name X-Men characters — let's see what happens when they come together. And let's see if we can make these small names into bigger names."

Wonder Woman #6 - "World's Finest, Part 4"

image host

I came up as an intern for Chris Claremont. That was where I first learned story when I was a kid. Every day I'd go into the room, and Chris was telling me how his stories worked, and it was a lesson. Chris' thing was for every superhero, what makes them strong makes them weak, and that's how we make them interesting. Rogue's power is also that she can't touch somebody — that being the classic example. Or Wolverine — he's savage, and he's always having to overcome his own savagery, and that creates the tension. That's always been a thing with me. Looking at Wonder Woman, I was like, "She is that character." -- Tom King
