"Without Aurora-- without our special partnership-- There is little to bind me to the team. Perhaps that I will change-- but until then, I think I deserve to seek my own chance at happiness."

“Jean-Paul Beaubier chose to be a great many things. Things we should all admire him for. He chose to be a hero. He chose to be a member of Alpha Flight. He chose to be an X-Man. He chose to be a role model. And recently he chose to be a teacher. He could have stayed on an X-Squad, but he knew that helping you was so important, it needed to be his full-time task. We honor him today for all those choices. ” ―Emma Frost
