Manuel - IS anyone ever an ex-X-Man? Or, to coin a phrase - once an X-Man, always an X-Man?
It would seem, from "Fate of the Phoenix", that when the word went out, Hank and Warren couldn't get there fast enough (and, had Bobby not been grossly omitted, I'll bet a nickel that he'd have been on the first express. Ditto that for Lorna and Alex and Sean.)
I can't think of too terribly many other times that X-Men were part of other teams... Hank was an Avenger, Bobby and Warren were Defenders, Storm was (ever so briefly) a member of the Fantastic Four*, Kitty and Kurt were members of Excalibur... but in every case (such as the forming of X-Factor), when Professor X or Cyclops sounded the clarion call, they were on the way post haste.
That might apply here, I reckon - which, of course, would be just FINE with me! ALL the X-Men together? Drawn by Mr. Byrne? I'll take an order of that!
*Interesting the way team names are broken down to individual members. One can be an Avenger, a Champion, a Defender, an Inhuman, an Invader, a New Mutant... but no one is a Fantastic, a Four, or even a Fantastic Four. Maybe an FF'er, but that seems a bit of a cheat.
