WAY back towards the beginning of the series it was revealed that Jaime was not a mutant but something far older and more powerful. Ii really liked this story and found the possibilities fascinating. Then it seemed like it was just left behind.
Does anyone know if anything else was ever said about this? I have been reading since the beginning and I can't seem to remember this ever being brought up again.

As a matter of fact, that plot thread where Tryp told Jamie that he was a "changeling" hasn't been brought up again. I thought it was going to come up during the storyline preceding Messiah Complex since Clay (possibly another "changeling") showed up again, but no dice.
I'd like to think that Peter David is a clever writer though, and most likely hasn't forgot about this story, and instead will reveal more at a later date.

Its also possible that editorial said to bugger off on that. It happens.

And sometimes people realze an idea isn't good and drop it. Anyone remember when Wolverine was told that he was "something other than a mutant" on some scanner by that dude who made the second versions of the Sentinels? Apparantly, Claremont was going to reveal that Wolverine was not a mutant at all, but an actual Wolverine who was mutated into a man by the High Evolutionary. Thank God John byrne showed up and made Wolverine cool.

And then Jeph Loeb picks the idea back up 20 years later and uses it as an excuse to kill Sabertooth. Damn you Loeb.
But in the hands of David I have confidence they could pull it off with Madrox. Since he is such a D-list character you have more freedom to this stuff than with a franchise like Wolverine.

Madrox is actually my favorite mutant character. Has been for about 15 years now. But then again, my goal in life is to write a Fabulous Frog Man mini for Marvel one day, so what I say is rather suspect.
(And no, I'm not joking. I'd give ten years of my life to write that character for three issues.)
