Heh. Yeah, he did have that significant resistance to magic... I remember that scan with tentacles that used to be reposted so often here.

Yeah. I really thought it was really nice how Claremont actually took the time to add in those little things about their powers that made them seem a little more special and unique. Like how the Horsemen or S'ym had trouble infecting him because Claremont liked making him immune to such things.

Claremont was also the first writer to give Wolverine superhuman physicals, which were the by-products of his healing factor. That was Len Wein's (R.I.P.) intention as well, as he originally viewed Wolverine as having Spider-Man level strength and agility, but he didn't get the chance to elaborate on it in those Hulk comics featuring Wolverine.
Chris was the best, period. We're lucky he still writes for Marvel from time to time.
Fun fact: in one comic, Wolverine actually introduces himself as Chris Claremont.
Real TOAA confirmed.

There's a theory I have that's been in my head for a while. It's that X-Men, and perhaps only X-Men, is a comic that needs a long-term writer to be good. Someone coming in for 6-12 issues will not produce good work.
You pick almost any other superhero, and there's a fair amount of leeway you get with them as long as you know the bullet points. Because the X-Men grew up right in front of us, and their history is so intertwined with their current-selves, you have to have someone that knows the characters to a level that makes sense. In a Batman story, you can have the Joker as a villain without referencing his other escapades, but the Phoenix? Sinister? Magneto?
There's baggage there, and all the best X-Men stories use that baggage to craft good narratives. It's when they don't use it, that we get shit like Bendis making a ****ing mess of things.
^^^thats a real good point.
A writer versed in x-Lore, in for a long term commitment.
Something along the lines of what Bendis (who i’m not suggesting do the X Men) did on Ultimate Spider-man, of PAD did on The Hulk, or Kirkman’s doing on Walking Dead, would blow ppl’s minds if allowed to happen to the X Men.
