Naturally, Erik stays. When he's getting overly grumpy or genocidal, the quickest and best way Charles can keep everyone else from getting upset is by projecting Erik in womens' clothing. He usually makes it silly, but occasionally likes to amuse himself by putting Erik in a classy evening gown or a simple sundress. When Erik finally asks what's so funny, Charles shows him his own projection in the mirror--Erik in a long black dress, with no makeup, wig, or jewelry. Erik is oddly taken and asks Raven (who thoroughly understands) to take him shopping. Dressing himself up is oddly calming, helps him take himself away from himself and his own history. Eventually, he gets to the point where he feels comfortable wearing the subtler components of his new wardrobe around the mansion, casually, and soon it's nearly de rigeur. By the present day, it's well-known that the famous mutant Magneto is out and proud as a crossdresser as well as a mutant, but that he still has terrible taste in colors. Red and purple is one thing when you're in tights

Each Gary is different. They all look the same when they're frozen, blank-faced and sleeping, but when they're revitalized they're as different as any two people are--long hair, short hair, pale, tan, mustache, clean-shaven, smooth-faced, lined foreheads, young, old. They barely ever recognize themselves.
