This past week I read the first eleven of the 22 issue X-Men cross-over event, X of Swords.

Society changes, writers change, art changes; and if one feels that the addition of updating the back story of a character is offensive, then do not read the comic book. Comic books have always been at the forefront of human rights and social justice issues and that will never change.
