X-Men: Some stuff about 51-100

So its a lot harder to just pick 10 goofy or relevant things to tell you about X-Men 51-100. Part of it is that from issues 67 through 93 Marvel starting reprinting earlier stories with new covers. 67 was a reprint of the first appearance of the Juggernaut and they simply went on from there, oftening reprinting two issues in a single issue. From 1970 to 1975 X-Men was basically not a series. I can’t even fathom how angry fans must have been. Luckily Lein Wein came along in 1975 and published Giant Sized X-Men. Once that happened everything changed as Chris Claremont started writing the monthly series and Chris was not afraid to have just as much if not more drama than action. But I now bring you tidbits. Little interesting nuggets of information that are fact in the context of issues 51-100. They may not all be funny, but they will be informative and entertaining. And in the future I may have to look at smaller issue sets to do.
Polaris is Magneto’s daughter, but not really!
|
Angel was his own superhero before the X-Men, known as the Avenging Angel!
|
|
|
Professor X isn’t dead! Surprise! But he stayed dead for like 23 (#42-65) issues just so he could get the jump on these aliens!
|
|
Iceman and Havok get violent over who gets to date Polaris!
|
|
When the new X-Men are introduced the old X-Men leave with no explanation other than its time to move on. Well except Cyke. Either way the new line up is Colossus, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird, and Sunfire
|
|
Wolvie’s a Canuk, aye.
|
|
Did I say Sunfire and Thunderbird? Cause Sunfire kind of immediately left after one issue and Thunderbird kind of died next issue.
|
|
|
Eric the Red shows up! But wait, Cyclops made up Erik the Red so he could have a costume to fool the baddies, how does that work?
|
|
|
Evidently when Beast left he went and became all blue and furry. Or gray at first and then blue. And then became an Avenger. I learned that on Wikipedia since it didn’t happen in the pages of X-Men so no picture for you! Okay maybe one pic.
|
So that whole thing the movies and cartoons do where there’s the whole sexual tension between Wolverine and Jean when they meet? Not so much in the comic.
|
|
|
Nightcrawler’s holographic cover up is stylin’ fraulein!
