The X-Men storyline:

  • Awesome Art: John Byrne.
  • Moment of Awesome:
    • Wolverine repeatedly slaps Miz Destiny/Jean to snap her out of the personality Mesmero made for her. She eventually responds with Phoenix-empowered anger, telekinetically/telepathically zapping Wolverine.
    • Nightcrawler doing his first three-teleportations to individually defeat three persons.
    • Pretty much the whole ‘Magneto Curb Stomps the X-Men’ fight, beginning with him blowing up the Wagon they were in, throwing his adversaries away to manipulating Eolverine’s clawed hand to come to his own face.
    • After killing Farouk in a mental battle, Xavier stoically reacts to his enemy’s death by putting on his hat and leaving.
    • After six weeks of training on a ship, the X-Men show their results on the Mandroids.
    • In the Alpha Flight battle, Storm uses her cloak to bag Snowbird. Then she goes to the nexus of the out-of-control blizzard and single-handedly disperses it.
    • Northstar speedily sucker-punches Storm down. Cyclops immediately knocks him down with an optic blast.
    • Cyclops geometrically destroys several Murderworld Bumper Cars with his optic blasts.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Magneto magnetically controlling Wolverine’s metal-laced hand in UXM#112. Wait till Fatal Attractions comes by…
  • Once Original, Now Overdone: Long before overexposure and more visible portrayals of his lethal action, Wolverine’s off-panel killing of a Savage Land guard caused a major stir to readers, showing what he is capable of doing.
