What if rather than Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the early X-Men had been written by Jack Kirby and Tennessee Williams?

Obviously, we can keep Xavier's mansion but it will have to be moved to Mississippi.

I can tell you that Jean Grey would be a lot more interesting.

The spin-off comic is of course "The X-Menagerie".

I note that in the early issues, everyone on the team -including Xavier- was smitten with telepathic Miss Grey, almost as though she was using her powers to bewitch them...

It does occur to me the X-Men didn't run into a second tolerable female until Jean Grey was distracted. Hmm. I'm sure that's not suspicious at all.

It's not her fault; she couldn't help herself; she didn't even know it was happening.

It was an entire school full of teenagers... and just one girl. Of course they all liked Jean. (No, I don't know what Professor X's excuse was.)

He's a telepath, so he was being subconsciously influenced by all those young men lusting after her.
