This page has a lot of spoilers! I put it together as a reference especially for X- Men movie fans who are not aware of their history. As of Nov 9, 2. 00. I consider this article mostly complete. It includes information on Issues No. Uncanny X- Men Chronology is part two of the X- Men series that was reborn in 1. Giant Size X- Men Volume 1. It is just the first time they appeared in the X- Men world. And be aware the the special X- Men Origins sections starting in Issue No. They were not numbered in the original issues.- Titanic. DPeck). The Marvel universe has good mutants on the left, bad mutants on the right, and Homo Sapiens in between a mutant philosophical- physical conflict to determine if mutants should be part of the World or to dominate the World at the expense of mankind. However reading this series published from 1. I was expecting more. It can be argued that comics are comics, especially in the 1. The stories are typically on the shallow side, with tidbits of personal interaction, followed by lots of action that seems flat especially when compared with today's theater special- effect extravaganzas. In fairness, I should not be holding a forty year comic accountable for being on the flat side as compared to today's technology. The stories are interesting enough to keep me going, some distinctly better than others. The Beast has a high IQ and at times laments his mutant powers, expressing a desire to be a regular human being. At one point, he quits the X- Men to become a wrestler (Issue No. X- Men encounter with Unus. The Beast likes using big words and is full of witty quips that he throws around while battling evil.

However, Cyclops has some real issues lamenting his inability to self- control his optic energy. Injured as a child, he can't control is power without the help of special glasses and consequently he views the power as a curse, afraid of accidently hurting someone, especially the one he loves, Jean. He considers visiting a doctor for a cure if such a thing exists (Issue No. Unfortunately the series of episodes from 1. Cyclops who is torn between love and self loathing and Marvel Girl who is attracted to Cyclops and senses some form of affection from him. But instead of smoothly developing these personal encounters towards a conclusion, the reader experiences the same frustrating misconnects over and over again. The Professor is mostly a strong, commanding presence in the stories, but on one occasion, Professor Xavier has a moment (Issue No. Issue No. 3) expresses love for Marvel Girl, but what kind of love is not made clear and it is not pursued in later episodes. In the big picture, these brief moments of drama are secondary to the main focus of action packed episodes, with the X- Men acting as guardians of the Human race, despite being despised and feared at times. In the Brotherhood, the brother- sister mutant team of Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver (Issue No. Magneto, a megalomaniac without any sympathy built into his character, in contrast to the X- Men movies. Eventually the brother and sister take steps to undercut Magneto's plans and eventually leave the Brotherhood. Other interesting characters are, Toad who has the mannerisms of Renfield in Dracula, treating Magneto as his master (but he is betrayed in the end), Mastermind, a telepathic mutant who can plant visions in people's heads, The Mimic, a troubled mutant who is not sure if he wants to be good or bad, and the humorous Banshee who appreciates fine art and smoking his pipe. However, if you've ever read any comic series, the concept of . The same goes for Xavier. At times the X- Men, as a team have been beaten down and are at the mercy of bad guy, but good fortune always seems to shines upon them preventing their demise. Throughout the 1. Magneto and his henchmen are the most consistent antagonists to the Human Race and the X- Men. There is a lot of talk of taking over the world, but the most credible threat seems to come from the Z'Nox in Issue No. Xavier who has an impressive plan. Exotic locations are frequently used for battles between good and bad: The bottom of the Ocean (Issue No. Earth (Issue No. 5- asteroids circle the Earth?), The Center of the Earth (Issue No. South American Indiana Jones style Temple (remember X- Men did it first), and several underground caverns. Not to say they were bad movie- going experiences. The concept of X- Men was established, a variety of elements and characters were taken from the comics, molded and changed without regard to the original stories to create a pretty good series of movies even though they only have a partial resemblance to the original time table and character relationships. The best part of the X- Men movies so far has been devoting almost three entire movies to Wolverine's discovery of his past. However, Wolverine is no were to be seen in the 1. I have included all of the issues in this article up through 1. Refer to this Uncanny X- Men Wikipedia article. The most dynamic visual issues consisted of those penned by Jim Steranko (Issues 5.

All of the boys are ga- ga over the girl. In the comic, they wore blue and yellow outfits. In addition to controlling metal, he has the power to form a magnetic barrier around himself for protection or around others to trap them. His control over magnetism effects everything, not just metal. In later episodes and the movies he is called Scott. Scott has two eyes but a single power beam comes out of his eyes, hence the name (although sometimes it as drawn in the comics as two beams). However the rest of the story is yet to be revealed. It just so happens that Frozone in The Incredibles manipulates water in a similar manner, but Iceman did it first! The fight against the Vanisher ends in more of a whimper than a real fight with Professor Xavier demonstrating his mental ability to get inside people's heads, even make them forget who they are. He is the second mutant (after Magneto) who refers to himself as . Later when the team receives some public scorn after failing to deal with the Vanisher.

Blob and the carnies loose. The Professor performs a group mind wipe, ending this episode. Jean makes it apparent she has feelings for Scott. Previously he was called . Noted in movies to some degree. In the comic he is a carnival worker who uses his mutant abilities to entertain the crowds. In the movie, his size is attributed to a eating disorder and while in the comic his ability to anchor himself and resist damage is mutant related, in the movie, he appears to be just a big fat and powerful guy. For world domination, they attack a small South American nation called Santo Marco using a stolen destroyer and Mastermind's ability to make the residents see an invading army the country capitulates.

The Blob joins The Brotherhood until he realizes he is expendable and returns to the carnival. Another X- Men/BOEM fight without resolution. Quick Silver and Scarlet Witch are fed up with Magneto.
