In our penultimate post, we’ll cover Moira’s time in Excalibur<\/em> under Warren Ellis and Ben Raab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #86 <\/a> by Warren Ellis, Ken Lashley & Tom Wegrzyn (“Back to Life”, February 1995).<\/strong> This is the first issue of the Ellis run proper, although it’s almost immediately interrupted for four months by the Age of Apocalypse crossover. Moira fits quite nicely into Ellis’s style, and instantly starts to become stroppier and grumpier. Ellis also introduces a running joke about her awful coffee. Be advised, though, that Moira doesn’t actually do <\/em>all that much in the Ellis run, aside from providing colour while the team are at home on Muir Isle. In this issue, Pete Wisdom joins the cast. Nightcrawler works out that Moira has the Legacy Virus, but she insists that they go on their important mission anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-Men Prime<\/a><\/em> by various creators (“Racing the Night”, July 1995).<\/strong> This is the one-shot that sets up the resuming X-Men titles after the “Age of Apocalypse”. In the bit that’s relevant to Moira, Trish Tilby reveals to the public that the Legacy Virus has spread to the human race, with Moira as the first human victim; Moira and Rory watch on TV. This is meant to lead in to a storyline about who leaked the data, but as we’ll see it all peters out quite quickly. I’m not sure it was ever resolved, but it certainly doesn’t happen in any of Moira’s stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cable<\/a><\/em> #21<\/a> by Jeph Loeb, Arnie Jorgensen & Mark Pennington (“…Our Regularly Scheduled Program…”, July 1995).<\/strong> In the epilogue, Moira and Rory discuss who leaked the news of her infection, and Moira reveals that the Muir Isle computers were hacked. She suggests it has something to do with Cable, but that’s a subplot that goes nowhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #87<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Ken Lashley & Tom Wegrzyn (“Back to Reality”, July 1995).<\/strong> Excalibur themselves are off in Genosha, but in a subplot, Moira continues to discuss how the Muir Isle computers got hacked. Since this is a Warren Ellis comic in 1995, there is dialogue about modems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncanny X-Men <\/a><\/em>vol 1 #326<\/a> by Scott Lobdell, Joe Madureira & Tim Townsend (“The Nature of Evil”, November 1995).<\/strong> Professor X stages a public argument with the Beast in order to “prove” to scientists that the Legacy Virus is actually quite a trivial problem and nothing to worry about. Moira and Excalibur are shown watching on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #88-90<\/a> by Warren Ellis and various artists (“Dream Nails”, August to October 1995).<\/strong> “Dream Nails” is principally a Kitty Pryde & Pete Wisdom story; once again, Moira only appears in subplots. She’s now figured out how the computer got hacked – there’s some technobabble to the effect that Muir Isle has a secure connection to the X-Men’s Mansion, which was compromised when Banshee blew some stuff up during the “Phalanx Covenant”. Even though Moira has taken a dislike to Pete Wisdom, she does defend him against suggestions that, as the newcomer and cynical outsider, he’s the most likely person to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also some bio-babble about the Legacy Virus, setting up the strange idea that it lacks any rational pattern because it was created by Stryfe, and Stryfe likes chaos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moira also gets some more character-driven moments – there’s a scene of her tormenting herself by looking at pictures of the people who have died from the Legacy Virus so far. By this point, Ellis seems to be subscribing to the “survivor’s guilt” interpretation of Moira, which is a perfectly workable one. At the end, Moira is cheered up when Rahne arrives for a visit (which leads to her joining the team).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolverine: Knight of Terra <\/a><\/em>by Ian Edginton, John Ostrander, Jan Duursema & Rick Magyar (August 1995).<\/strong> Rahne swaps places with her counterpart from the magical world of Geshem. While Rahne has her adventure, Moira helps to deal with the Geshem counterpart on Muir Isle. In the end, of course, Wolverine sorts it all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moira doesn’t appear in Wolverine<\/em> vol 2 #93, but the story reports her turning Cyber over to the Scottish authorities. (He’s been on Muir Isle as a prisoner since Excalibur and Wolverine captured him; we covered that last time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generation X ’95<\/a><\/em> by Scott Lobdell, Jeph Loeb, Ashley Wood, Shawn McManus and others (“Leather and Lace”, 1995).<\/strong> Sean contacts Moira for advice on treating the sickly Penance. Since Sean is reluctant to talk about Moira’s Legacy Virus infection, they have a rather awkward exchange, until Moira pushes him into talking more freely about his feelings. Almost immediately, she switches back to talking business, but signs off telling him that she loves him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #91<\/a> by Warren Ellis, David Williams et al (“Baby I Love You”, November 1995).<\/strong> This is the issue where they all go to the pub. Moira gets completely blitzed and dances on the tables with Rahne, Meggan and Amanda, before finally getting cut off by the bar staff. Rahne is a little disappointed by all this; Moira tells Rahne that she just wanted to escape from her problems for a while. (There’s also some talk in this issue about Moira’s youth, but I covered that in part 1.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #92<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones et al (“I Want You”, December 1995).<\/strong> On return to Muir Isle, Colossus shows up and gets into a fight with Pete Wisdom, and Moira sobers herself up (with injections) to deal with the injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #93<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones and Tom Simmons (“The Spire”, January 1996).<\/strong> Moira is still feuding with Pete Wisdom in mid-90s Ellis style, complete with threats to use refrigerated probes on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

X-Man<\/a><\/em> #11-12<\/a> & Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #95<\/a> by various creators (January to March 1996).<\/strong> This is a crossover story where Nate Grey, newly arrived in the mainstream Marvel Universe and deeply paranoid about Professor X, is pointed in the direction of Muir Isle as a possible source of help with his powers. Moira duly runs some tests on him, and is troubled not only by Nate’s resemblance to Cable and Stryfe, but also because his power levels remind her of Proteus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nate’s paranoia leads to the obligatory fight with Excalibur, but Moira talks him down by telling him how childish he’s being. Rather unhelpfully for the Hickman retcon, she also proves herself to him by letting him read her mind. According to the narrator, Nate sees “images of lost loves, dear lovers, genes and viruses”. But presumably he doesn’t pick up anything about her Hickman-era past lives, since you’d think he’d have mentioned it. I suppose we have to imagine that Moira has some sort of telepathic shields, and correctly gambles that, despite his power, Nate will be too inexperienced to see past them. There is some<\/em> support for this in the story – she points out that her plan only worked because of Nate’s lack of life experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable <\/a><\/em>vol 1 #29<\/a> by Jeph Loeb, Ian Churchill & Scott Hanna (“Man in the Mirror”, March 1996).<\/strong> Moira attends a meeting to discuss what to do about Nate Grey. At the end, Blaquesmith wipes everyone’s memories of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #97<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones & Tom Simmons (“Counterfire”, May 1996).<\/strong> With most of the team off on a mission, Moira and Douglock talk about how he’s working towards integrating his machine and human sides into a single personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We haven’t mentioned much about Douglock so far, but he’s present throughout Moira’s tenure in the cast of Excalibur<\/em>. This raises some issues for the Hickman retcon. Given what she learned in her previous life, techno-organic beings such as the Phalanx ought to be quite a big deal for her, but there’s never really any sign of that on the page. The same problem comes up with the introduction of Warlock, but she really does spend a very long time around Douglock at this period. Presumably she’s either focussing her attention on the Legacy Virus, or glad of the chance to study Douglock at length, or a bit of both. If anything, she seems quite pleased and encouraged by the fact that a human personality is coming to the fore in Douglock – perhaps she sees that as an encouraging signal. But this is one area where, post-Hickman, we really do have to imagine Moira routinely keeping a poker face about something that she ought to care about much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #98<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Carlos Pacheco & Bob Wiacek (“Fireflies”, June 1996).<\/strong> Moira attends a mission briefing and offers some words of encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #100<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones et al (“London’s Burning”, August 1996).<\/strong> Excalibur are off fighting Black Air in their anniversary storyline, but Moira appears in a subplot which is ties in to the “Onslaught” crossover. (There’s a scene in Uncanny X-Men<\/em> #335 which is meant to set this up, but it doesn’t work, because it features Excalibur when they ought to be away in the Black Air storyline throughout “Onslaught.”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The X-Men tell Moira that Professor X has gone mad, and turned into Onslaught. In response, Moira shows them a hidden vault in the foundations of the Muir Isle research centre, where the Professor kept his secrets. The computers inside turn out to hold the Xavier Protocols, which give advice on how to kill not only him, but any of the other X-Men, should it be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #101<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones & Tom Simmons (“Quiet”, September 1996).<\/strong> After the X-Men leave, Moira watches a recorded message that Professor Xavier left for her. It tells her that, if she’s watching the message, then he must have died or gone mad. On that basis, Muir Isle is now “the sole repository of all the mutant-related data I have gathered”, and she is “the last outpost of the dream”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These comments actually make more sense post-Hickman, since at the time they were open to the obvious objection that the rest of the X-Men could easily still be around. Now, Xavier and Moira have a side project in which the X-Men are not involved – so the idea of Moira stepping into his shoes to steer mutant history more directly works rather more smoothly. As we’ll see, Moira starts taking a slightly more active role in directing the team now that Xavier is out of the way, which mirrors her behaviour during the Claremont run (where she starts making suggestions when Xavier is in a coma). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Excalibur arrive back home, Moira persuades them to stay out of the “Onslaught” crossover, so that someone will be left to keep the dream alive if everyone else gets killed. She’s also delighted to see that Douglock’s humanisation is continuing apace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #102<\/a> by Warren Ellis, Casey Jones et al (“After the Bomb”, October 1996).<\/strong> This is Ellis’s penultimate issue, but it’s the last to feature Moira. She continues to push the new angle that Excalibur are now the last outpost of the dream, and were right to stay out of the Onslaught affair. Also in this issue, the prisoners on Muir Isle are handed over to the UK government, presumably destined for wherever other superhuman prisoners go in Marvel Universe Britain. This returns Muir Isle to being simply as a Legacy Virus research centre and superhero base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #104-105<\/a> by various creators (“Buried Secret” \/ “Hard Truths”, December 1996 & January 1997).<\/strong> Moira is still working on the Legacy Virus. She’s also still disappointed to learn of the Xavier Protocols, but at the same time she’s reluctant to simply delete them. And she’s arguing that Excalibur should steer clear of post-Onslaught America – though half the team go anyway. While they’re away, the island is attacked by the Mutant Liberation Front, who get repelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This two-parter, which appeared between the Ellis and Raab runs, is an incoherent mess. The random assemblage of creators (which improbably includes John Arcudi, Keith Giffen and Bryan Hitch) seem not to have been properly briefed either on the characters they were using, or on what was happening in the other chapter. At least one character teleports between the end of part 1 and the start of part 2, and the latter issue also features random MLF footsoldiers who don’t appear anywhere else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable<\/a><\/em> #39-40<\/a> by various creators (“All Things Great and Small” \/ “Into the Dark”, January & February 1997.)<\/strong> Moira advances the plot by encouraging Cable to investigate the missing Ren\u00e9e Majcomb. You could read this as another example of Moira taking a more direct role in X-affairs now that Xavier and Magneto are unavailable to her as intermediaries. But mainly, it’s another glitchy story which seems to have changed direction thanks to a change of writer – issue #39 is the final Jeph Loeb issue, while issue #40 is a fill-in by Todd Dezago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #106<\/a> by Ben Raab, Randy Green et al (“A Portrait of the Artist”<\/strong>, February<\/strong> 1997).<\/strong> This is the first issue of the Ben Raab run, which will see us through to the end of the book. Moira writes an email to Xavier, who is currently in prison following “Onslaught”. In it, she writes about her survivor’s guilt over the deaths of Joe and Proteus, and is upset about the pressure of having to deal with Xavier’s dream (and her own Legacy Virus infection, which you’ll note has barely come up as a plot point in quite some time) alone. Again, her feelings of personal responsibility arguably work better in the light of the Hickman retcon, since it helps to explain why she doesn’t feel she can look to Excalibur for that support. Of course, the original intention is that Moira is taking everything on herself and not<\/em> taking full advantage of the support that’s available to her<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the email bounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #107<\/a> by Ben Raab, Salvador Larroca & Scott Koblish (“Focus”, March 1997).<\/strong> Moira is working obsessively on the cure to the Legacy Virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-Man<\/a><\/em> #26<\/a> by Terry Kavanagh, Pascual Ferry, Jamie Mendoza & Hack Shack (“Down to Earth”, April 1997).<\/strong> Nate Grey is having trouble with his telekinesis, so he visits Moira again. She tells him it’s psychosomatic. For whatever reason, this time she’s not just waiting for him, she has a special telepathy-proof helmet to hand. Since it’s the 90s, she also tries to break his mental blocks by shooting at him. It doesn’t work, but by this point Nate has spent long enough in the 90s X-books to regard such behaviour as relatively normal, and he wanders off again to his next storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #109<\/a> by Ben Raab, Salvador Larroca & Scott Koblish (“Dragon Moon Rising”, May 1997).<\/strong> Kurt tries to offer Moira some emotional support over the Legacy Virus, but she feels as though she is dealing with everything alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-Men Unlimited<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #16<\/a> by Ben Raab, Meluin Rubi & Rob Hunter (“Primal”, September 1997).<\/strong> Moira appears briefly on a video link, to offer a few words of encouragement to Sean Cassidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #112<\/a> by Ben Raab, Pete Woods & Scott Koblish (“Survival”, September 1997).<\/strong> After a few months off panel, Moira is getting noticeably sicker, as her death at the hands of the Legacy Virus draws near. Or that’s the idea. As it turns out, she’s got another three years to go, but that’s comics for you. There’s also a weird joke about Moira being so out of touch that she calls milkshakes “malted milk”, which seems more appropriate to an American granny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, Moira takes Rahne and Douglock to the mainland for a milkshake in an uncommon display of maternal affection, as she tries to put on a show of normality. While some earlier writers have simply asserted Moira and Rahne’s mother-daughter relationship, or cast doubt on its underlying substance, Raab takes it at face value and actually shows it on the page for more than brief glimpses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #113<\/a> by Ben Raab, Pete Woods & Scott Koblish (“Faith”).<\/strong> Moira is torn between spending her remaining time with her daughter Rahne, and working on the Legacy Virus. In the short term, the problem resolves itself, as Rahne sets off to America to attend a New Mutants reunion (which is a set-up for a New Mutants <\/em>miniseres, “Truth or Death”). Moira’s post-Onslaught paranoia about visiting the US seems to have vanished, which is a bit weird, since we’re now in the run-up to Operation: Zero Tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #114<\/a> by Ben Raab, Pete Woods & Scott Koblish (“For the One I Love”, November 1997).<\/strong> A brief cameo in which Moira passes on an email from SHIELD to Kitty Pryde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncanny X-Men<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #348<\/a> by Scott Lobdell, Joe Madureira et al (“Because, I Said So”, October 1997).<\/strong> Another cameo – Moira is on TV being interviewed about Operation: Zero Tolerance. She’s against it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generation X <\/a><\/em>vol 1 #32<\/a> by Tom DeFalco, Mark Buckingham et al (“A Day at the Circus!”, November 1997).<\/strong> Sean visits Muir Island to ask for Moira’s input on the St Croix twins. The story dutifully follows Excalibur<\/em> by having Sean worry that she’s obsessing about her work; Moira, for her part, seems to be worried that Sean will pair up with Emma Frost. They have a picnic and renew their long-distance relationship, which then gets immediately shoved back on the back-burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generation X <\/a><\/em>vol 1 #33<\/a> by Larry Hama, Steve Harris & Scott Hanna (“Thieves in the Night”, December 1997).<\/strong> Moira pops up briefly to explain the Legacy Virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #115<\/a> by Ben Raab, Mel Rubi & Scott Koblish (“Missionaries”, December 1997).<\/strong> Having discovered that the Legacy Virus is airborne, and that any mutant could potentially be a victim, Moira (belatedly!) decides to quarantine herself until she finds a cure. Even though this is an obviously sensible and overdue step, the story treats it as a suicidal decision. The idea is that Moira is meant to be punishing herself and\/or retreating for some sort of last stand. Improbably, the vault is set to unlock only when a cure is found. You might think this storyline is not ideally suited for Excalibur<\/em>, whose regular cast includes a teleporter and a girl who can walk through walls, but you’re not a 90s X-Men editor. Anyway, ignore the logic for a moment and focus on the emotional beats: Rahne refuses to abandon her mother, and insists on remaining in the lab as the door locks behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #117<\/a> by Ben Raab, Mel Rubi & Rob Hunter (“Amendments”, February 1998).<\/strong> Moira is angry with Rahne about disrupting her isolation and risking exposure. But they hug and make up, as you’d expect from Raab’s straight-bat approach to their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur <\/a><\/em>vol 1 #118<\/a> by Ben Raab, Mel Rubi & Scott Koblish (“New Year’s Evil”, March 1998).<\/strong> Moira appears briefly over a video link from her quarantine, while Excalibur deal with a Bamf infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #120<\/a> by Ben Raab, Mel Rubi & Scott Koblish (“Current Events”, May 1998).<\/strong> Remember the impenetrable vault door that won’t open until the Legacy Virus is cured? Douglock hacks his way in, in order to save Rahne. The whole quarantine idea is then dropped. The story only really works if you’re prepared to run with the highly dubious premise that there was no scientific need for the quarantine in the first place. But if you are<\/em> prepared to go with that, then the idea seems to be that five issues in the vault have led Moira to realise that she was just doing it to punish herself, and she’s quietly relieved that Douglock has given her an excuse to drop the whole thing. On its own terms, it makes a certain <\/em>degree of sense. Rahne seems much more angry about it than Moira does, and Moira is mostly amused by Douglock and Wolfsbane’s flirtation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #121<\/a> by Ben Raab, Trevor Scott & Andrew Pepoy (“With Friends Like These”, June 1998).<\/strong> In a complete U-turn from the quarantine plan (played up as such), Moira decides to take a sabbatical from the Legacy Virus. The failure of the quarantine scheme has been a turning point leading Moira to back off on her self-destructive tendencies and take more care of herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #122-123<\/a> by Ben Raab, Dale Eaglesham, Trevor Scott et al (“The Search”, July & August 1998).<\/strong> Moira ponders some ideas about what to do on her sabbatical, but we don’t get to any of them, because the book is about to get cancelled. So the focus shifts to Brian and Meggan’s wedding, which doesn’t really affect Moira at all. Moira tags along on Meggan’s trip to buy a wedding dress, and offers some advice on relationship stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excalibur<\/a><\/em> vol 1 #124-125<\/a> by Ben Raab, Dale Eaglesham & Scott Hanna (“Someone” \/ “Tying the Knot”, September & October 1998).<\/strong> Excalibur<\/em> wraps up with Meggan’s hen night in issue #124, and her wedding in issue #125. Moira attends both but doesn’t really have much to do in either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
