Remember when you had the whole Externals and Upstarts sub-plots and you just resolved the former by killing all of them but Cannonball, Selene, Wolverine and Apocalypse and didn't even bother with the latter? You even forgot that Cannonball has a healing factor and never bring up that he literally cannot die of natural causes and never gets sick. I believe that was the same year when you killed the Avengers and had to resolve the Clone Saga in a sloppy, rushed way. 1996 was the best year ever.
