myxmentrashblog:kalinara:xchaix:One of the biggest X-misconception is that Scott Summers abandoned his wife Madelyne and his infant son for his former love Jean Grey, who everyone thought was dead, but is actually alive. In actuality, Scott gets a call while they were going through some issues with what seems to be his mid-life crisis. Madelyne is insecure because she’s afraid he wants to return to being an X-Men. Scott is restless because he never felt like he left on his own terms. To prevent Scott from what she thinks will be a chance to rejoin the X-Men, she makes an ultimatum they will both come to regret. Scott having no expectations to return to life with the X-Men reunites with the very much alive Jean Grey. Things begin to spiral out of control for him. Not only has Madelyne in a way kicked him out, but Jean expects things to go on like nothing had happened between her death and resurrection. She and Warren hatches a plan for a new team called X-Factor. They take in Hank and Bobby who then convinces Scott to return. Scott reluctantly agrees to lead X-Factor if only to stay long enough to tell Jean about Madelyne. I suppose it was easier to just call him out for abandonment, but canonically, it was a series of unfortunate events and emotionally fueled decisions mad by Scott, Maddy and Jean. X-Factor 001 (1986)This is a great write-up about what EXACTLY happened with Maddy, Scott and early X-Factor. It is SO much more complicated than just “Scott ditched Maddy for Jean.”Can you imagine telling the recently resurrected woman you proposed to two days before she died that you’re married to a woman who looks exactly like her? XD Scott was an ass for the way he handled his first marriage but I think he was cheating on her with the X-Men more than anything. That’s all he’s ever been good at so it makes sense, but he should have tried harder. Given his unresolved issues and the fact that Madelyne was a clone created to have a kid with him and nothing else, their marriage waould probably be doomed anyway. -- source link
