Uncanny X-Men is a comic book series starring the Marvel Comics superhero team, the X-Men. First published in 1963, it is the longest running X-Men comic book series, and was the franchise's flagship title for most of its run. Originally simply titled The X-Men, for Marvel's collections and reprints the entire series is often referred to as Uncanny X-Men.The X-Men was the original title for the X-Men launched by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Under growing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Charles Xavier creates a safe haven for the growing mutant population and he recruits five young adults for a super-hero team, named the X-Men (for "extra power" or the X-Gene, which causes mutant evolution). The first volume of the book featured the five mutant heroes Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman, and Jean Grey (originally Marvel Girl) as they battled not only villains, but increasing prejudice against mutants. This run also marked the first appearance of longtime X-Men foe Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. New characters such as Cyclops's brother Havok and Polaris (another of Magneto's children) were later introduced, and the series firmly established itself in the shared Marvel Universe via crossovers with The Avengers. The title ran new material until issue #66 (March, 1970) before switching to reprints of old stories.In 1975, the series was revived, with Giant-Size X-Men #1 introducing a new and more diverse team: now billing itself as The All-New All-Different X-Men, new stories resumed with issue #94 featuring the new characters Storm, Colossus, Banshee, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird (briefly) and Wolverine, retaining only Professor X and Cyclops (and later Jean Grey, who would become Phoenix). Chris Claremont took over writing duties, with Dave Cockrum and later John Byrne as artists/co-plotters.From issue #114 the series billed itself as The Uncanny X-Men on covers, though this wouldn't become an official title change until issue #142. This era included storylines such as the "The Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past".Claremont had an extremely long run as writer, lasting until 1991, and codified much of what defines the X-Men in the modern age. After Byrne left the book Claremont worked with a succession of regular artists including Cockrum again, Paul Smith, John Romita Jr., Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee (who would become co-plotter). The team would continue to evolve as well, as some characters left and new characters were introduced, including Kitty Pryde, Rogue and Rachel Summers; Magneto also made a Heel–Face Turn and took over leadership of the X-Men. The Mutant Massacre story prompted a huge shift in the team lineup with only Storm, Wolverine and Rogue remaining, while bringing in new members Psylocke, Longshot, Dazzler and a returning Havok. Later additions to the team included Jubilee, Gambit and long-time recurring character Forge.After Claremont left, around the same time as the launch of the companion series X-Men (1991), Jim Lee continued as co-plotter along with new artist Whilce Portacio until both departed to co-found Image Comics. Afterwards, writing duties passed to Scott Lobdell, who became one of the most prominent creators on the X-Men books for much of the 1990s. During this period, the X-Men were split into two field teams with Uncanny X-Men featuring the "Gold Team" (while X-Men featured the "Blue Team") – this lasted until the Age of Apocalypse event in 1995, after which the two titles began blending together. After Lobdell's departure he was followed as writer by Steve Skeates, and then by Alan Davis with Terry Kavanagh. In 2000 the X-Men: Revolution relaunch saw Claremont briefly return as writer.In 2001, Uncanny X-Men became a secondary X-Men title as Grant Morrison's New X-Men replaced it as the flagship, written by Joe Casey and then Chuck Austen. The X-Men: ReLoad relaunch in 2004 then saw Austen shifted over to the adjectiveless title while Claremont once again returned as the writer of Uncanny X-Men, carrying over stories and characters from his X-Treme X-Men (2001) title.Ed Brubaker became the new writer of Uncanny X-Men in 2008. After the Messiah CompleX crossover event he was succeeded by Matt Fraction who in turn was eventually succeeded by Kieron Gillen.Uncanny X-Men finally ended with issue #544 in 2011, after the crossover event Schism – it was immediately relaunched as Uncanny X-Men (2011), also written by Gillen. The series has been relaunched from #1 a number of times since; the third volume brought back original numbering for its final issue, ending at #600. | |

Aliens Speaking English: Invoked, and blatantly lampshaded when the X-Men first meet the Starjammers. The style of English they speak varies. Ch'od speaks normally. Hepzibah speak in broken English, and Raza uses mangled Elizabethan English. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby make an appearance in an issue of Claremont's run. When Jean faces Firelord, he is sent flying, and a man tells his friend Dave that "he hits the ground with this incredible sound effect" just as Firelord hits the ground. While running away, he asks if Dave is still listening, to which Dave says "Chris, do us all a favor -- shut up and run!!" Dave is clearly supposed to be Dave Cockrum, the artist on The X-Men at the time, and the man is Chris Claremont himself. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome: Subverted in issue 191. Spider-Man, having been captured and tortured by Kulan Gath, manages to break free of his restraints as the Avengers and X-Men launch an attack on the sorcerer's throne room. He urges everyone to grab Kulan Gath's amulet, the source of the wizard's power, and is promptly struck down by Gath, who mockingly reminds Spider-Man that none of the assembled heroes can understand him. But Warlock does understand, and after conveying this information to Storm, the two of them manage to surprise Kulan Gath and rip the amulet away from him, ensuring his downfall. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_15b09af9 | comment |
Heel–Face Door-Slam: In the early 90s, after a long while of being good-ish, and trying to atone for his past deeds, Magneto comes to the conclusion that he is not Xavier and never will be. He decides to prove it by killing Zaladane. The out-of-universe reason is that artists started having more clout than the writers, and the artist on X-Men wanted Magneto as a bad guy again. Of course, it turned out that door was a little jammed... | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: When Professor X mentions Moira Mactaggert will be looking after the mansion while he is away, Banshee assumes that she will be some manner of old hag. He is naturally speechless when he opens the door for her, and pretty much falls for her then and there. During a fight with a Brainwashed and Crazy Havok and Polaris, Storm confidently states that Polaris can't fly. Unfortunately, Shi'ar brainwashing comes with taking a level in badass, and so Polaris can fly. The X-Men's first encounter with Jahf. Cyclops tells Wolverine to be careful, since they have no idea what he can do. | |

Improvised Cross: In one eighties issue, Nightcrawler and Wolverine are fighting Dracula. Wolverine crosses his claws to make a cross and Dracula tells him that in order for that to work on him you have to believe. Nightcrawler holds up two pieces of wood in a cross-shape and tells Dracula "I believe!" and Dracula recoils. Look at it here◊. In Uncanny X-Men Annual #6, which is a continuation to the events above, Rachel Van Helsing keeps Dracula at bay with two candlesticks forming a cross. Since she has been recently turned into a vampire, it burns her as well. | |

Comic-Book Time | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: Wasn't too much of an issue early on, with the X-Men following most of the same rules as the rest of the Marvel Universe. As established historical events become more dated such as Xavier fighting in Korea it became more difficult for writers to consolidate the events and a more broad strokes approach was taken, much like with Tony Stark's original Vietnam origin being updated to the modern era. Averted with Magneto, however, as his origin — much like Captain America's — has become inextricably linked to WWII and the Holocaust. Writers have gotten around this due to a rather goofy plotline from the Silver Age of Magneto being de-aged and re-aged to the prime of his life, making it less outlandish that the X-Men would be fighting a centenarian in the modern age. | |

Events change so that Vulcan revives D'Ken from his years-long coma, which they regard as even better. Then Vulcan kills D'Ken and, having married Deathbird, makes himself emperor. He proves to be not much saner than D'Ken, management wise. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: Thunderbird's death is not only early, it was also largely pointless. He kills himself by crashing the jet villain Count Nefaria is trying to escape in while ranting about his Apache pride — ignoring the constant warnings from Xavier to stop before he kills himself, or the pleading from Banshee, who not only could have carried him away to safety but easily stopped the jet with little trouble. Did we mention Nefaria also survived? | |

Avengers Assemble | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_1eedb914 | comment |
Avengers Assemble: Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the first new issue after the series was cancelled) features Charles Xavier recruiting Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Banshee, Storm, Sunfire, Colossus and Thunderbird in a series of brief introductions. It’s not until after they’re all assembled that we find out why Xavier has brought them together. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Through issues 98, 99 and 100, mention is repeatedly made of an incoming solar flare. This is the reason the Sentinels don't catch all the X-Men, and is responsible for the birth of The Phoenix. During their first encounter with the Brood (who have been hired by Deathbird to kidnap her sister Lilandra) Xavier begins experience psychic attacks involving a disturbing alien face. This is setting up the fact that he has been implanted with a Brood Queen egg, which comes into play during the Brood Saga about a dozen issues later. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: During a fight with Xavier's evil side, it creates an apparent chasm in the floor. The X-Men know it's an illusion, but they note falling into it would still kill them all the same because of this trope. | |

Kid Hero: The original team were all teenagers when Professor Xavier recruited them. Even among the All-New, All-Different team, Colossus was 17 when he joined and Kitty was thirteen-and-a-half. It is with the creation of the first spin-off title New Mutants that Xavier starts separating recruits between the adult and teenage team, though there would be exceptions such as the later introduction of Jubilee. | |

Captain Ethnic | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_272b44e | comment |
Storm and Wolverine were the least defined by their nationality, with the former’s pan-African upbringing (she was born in Harlem, spent her early years in Cairo after her parents deaths as a pickpocket before traveling to her mother’s homeland in Kenya) and latter’s Canadian nationality only coming up as plotpoints and not character markers. Of course, whenever Logan does end up in Canada he typically runs into Alpha Flight, a team of nothing but Captain Ethnic representatives of Canada, Eh?. | |

Guile Hero | |

Guile Hero: Cyclops largely grows from the straight-laced “Execute Attack Pattern Alpha!� style leader of the Lee-Kirby years into a Magnificent Bastard capable of thinking out dozens of plans simultaneously while on the run in the Claremont era. Probably best exemplified during the team’s second fight with Dark Phoenix actually one of Mastermind’s illusions mapping the Dark Phoenix’ form onto Scott’s body. With his teammates fighting against him Scott tricks Kitty into phasing him into the Danger Room, where he hass programmed a Savage Land scenario on the fly to keep them all off balance and give him time to find the perpetrator of the attack. | |

Death of the Hypotenuse: Wolverine seriously speculates letting this happen to Cyclops at one point (in the middle of mellowing out from "total asshole" to "mild asshole"). He decides that shooting Scott in the back isn't his way, and if it ever comes to it, he'll do it face to face, and shoves Scott out of the way of the incoming razor-blades. | |

When Jean shows up for the first time all of the other guys — except for Bobby — immediately start drooling over her. Hank settles into an easy friendship with her soon after leaving Scott and Warren to vie for Jean's affections for a good part of the Silver Age. Warren eventually realizes that he and Jean are Better as Friends and Scott and Jean become the one true X-couple from thereon out with no one ever showing up to try and split them up. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Cyclops, although by no means fragile, is not particularly durable either. But his beams pack quite a punch. Similarly, Jean, whose telekinesis and telepathy are incredibly powerful, but she's even less durable than Scott. As is the case with Jean, Storm, who can shoot friggin lightning at her enemies and create hurricanes, but is pretty vulnerable otherwise. When you get right down to it, pretty much any X-Man whose power doesn't involve some kind of super-toughness or shielding is this, being ordinary humans other than the specifics of their power. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity: Right there in the opening titles, "sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them."

Not helping is the time one of their fights accidentally killed Senator Robert Kelly's wife. | |

Got Me Doing It: In his 1985 miniseries, Nightcrawler is repeatedly mistaken for something called a "boggie", much to his increasing frustration. Then he finds himself needing to distract a gunslinging dinosaur by telling it that he's not a mammal, and when it asks what he is, he blurts out the first thing that comes to mind—which, of course, is boggie. He immediately feels like kicking himself: | |

Nightcrawler largely avoided this aside from his use of Gratuitous German. Seeing as Dave Cockrum initially designed him as an alien character for DC Comics before applying the German nationality to him when he recycled him for the X-Men, it makes sense that little of the country’s national stereotypes inhabited his character. | |

Only Cyclops manages to save them, and the team makes a break for it. Any fight with the Shi’ar Imperial Guard was characterized as this, with the X-Men’s inability to quit against the overwhelming force of the alien super-beings always earning their respect. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_4063acfd | comment |
Woman Scorned: During Chuck Austen's run, Alex Summers has to learn the hard way that it is a profoundly stupid move to dump a traumatised woman on her wedding day, at the altar. Especially when that woman has magnetic powers. Polaris goes on a rampage. | |

Guest-Star Party Member | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_40a533db | comment |
Guest-Star Party Member: Sunfire and the previous X-Men team barring Cyclops in Giant Sized X-Men #1. Spider-Man in Issue 123. Doctor Strange accompanies the team on a journey to “Hell� to save Nightcrawler’s soul (later revealed to be an illusion created by Margali Szardos) in Annual #4. The Invisible Woman joins the team to help save the rest of the Fantastic Four when they are kidnapped by the Badoon in Annual #5. Carol Danvers accompanies the team for so long following her de-powering that she practically becomes a member through The Brood Saga and fully intends to join the team as Binary following the events of that story. If it weren’t for Xavier allowing her earlier attacker Rogue to join the team as well, Carol might have stuck around for a long time. | |

Story Arc: In issues #305-306 (during the Fatal Attractions crossover) and #311-313, some X-Men members deal with incarnations of the Phalanx, paving the way for the upcoming crossover Phalanx Covenant. In issues #322-325, Storm and a small group of X-Men deal with human killings done by Morlock offshoot Gene Nation and their leader Marrow, on the occasion of the Mutant Massacre anniversary. In issues #341-345, a handful of X-Men are teleported to the Shi'ar Empire to deal with an infestation by members of the Phalanx. | |

Tagalong Kid: Kitty Pryde joins the team after The Dark Phoenix Saga and immediately starts accompanying them on missions despite only being thirteen-and-a-half years old. Xavier attempts to avert this when he establishes the New Mutants and immediately demotes Kitty to that team. She is too stubborn to go along with it and remains on the X-Men regardless. Kitty would later be succeeded by another tough young mutant training under Wolverine, by the name of Jubilee. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Early Wolverine was, put succinctly, a raging asshole, often drawing his claws on his teammates for minor offences. He once tried to kill Colossus for saving his life, for God's sake. It takes some time (in and out of universe) for him to lighten up. Sunfire, being a proud, racist nationalist, started off as an antagonist to the X-Men. He was later persuaded to join briefly by Charles, then almost immediately quit, then came back. Then he quit again once everything was over. However, when Logan first meets his cousin Mariko, she notes that he often spoke of the X-Men with respect. | |

Banshee was similarly defined by his Irish heritage more than anything else early on thanks to his red hair, Funetik Aksent and codename and power being taken from the classical Irish wailing spirit. Due to sticking around for far longer than the previous two members he was able to gain a number of shades to his personality that had nothing to do with his heritage and become far more well-rounded (an incident with Leprechauns, notwithstanding). | |

Cliffhanger Copout: The end of issue 100 ends with Jean flying a space shuttle, as horrifically deadly amounts of radiation get in. And the cover, the very cover of issue 101 reveals that, yeah, she's fine. Better than fine, actually. Halfway through The Dark Phoenix Saga Cyclops seemingly dies during a psychic duel with Mastermind, leading Nightcrawler to exclaim "Cyclops is dead!" The next issue presumably takes place no less than ten seconds later with Cyclops being shaken, but ultimately fine. One issue ends with Bishop suddenly turning around and shooting the entire team. The next issue begins with it turning out they're all fine - he'd noticed they'd been doused with killer nanobots and was getting rid of them, but he didn't have time to warn everyone. | |

Wham Shot: In the original run, Angel is recused in the Savage Land by a kindly elderly scientist. He convinces Angel he's a good guy to send him after the X-Men. After Angel leaves, the Creator laughs Angel didn't even recognize him. Opening a cabinet, he muses "perhaps clothes do make the man" as he rubs...Magneto's helmet. The shock to the reader is that this was the first time Magneto had ever been shown without the helmet. A cross-title one during the 80s. Over in Avengers, it had been mentioned that Wanda and Pietro Maximoff's dead mother was named Magda. In Uncanny X-Men, one issue has Magneto going across his old records, and finds one of his old love... Magda. | |

As seen above in Early-Installment Weirdness, Claremont would come up with new wrinkles to Wolverine’s character that he would casually drop in conversation such as his adamantium skeleton, healing factor powers and even his real name. Naturally, one of his teammates would ask why he never told them about (insert new revelation here), with this always being the response: "You never asked, bub." | |

The Big Guy: Due to the series being a Long Runner, there have been a few through the years: Beast started out this way in the first few issues until his characterization as a Genius Bruiser set in and he took his permanent role as The Smart Guy of the X-Men. Colossus for the All-New, All-Different team. Thunderbird was this for a couple of issues before being Killed Off for Real and Rogue would later join to help Colossus fill this role after permanently gaining the powers of Carol Danvers. Bishop, in Claremont's second run. Warpath, during Brubaker's run. Namor and Colossus during Matt Fraction's run. | |

Affably Evil: As always, Doctor Doom. He and Storm have dinner while the other X-Men sneak through Doom's dungeons to free Arcade. Storm actually regrets that she's a distraction, because she's enjoying herself. Hell, Doom secretly knows what she's doing and carries on anyway! Dracula appears, transforming Storm into a vampire in #159. Though he fully intends to make the transformation permanent he changes his mind and allows Storm to regain her humanity when she proves to be such an impressive figure that he can't bring himself to strip her of what makes her unique. Part of Magneto’s characterization involves him becoming this, with his tragic past being revealed in #150 and all further dealings with the X-Men up until the 90s involving him treating the heroes with utmost respect and eventually making a Heel–Face Turn to join them. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: In addition to the usual examples of normal humans hating mutants (and vice versa), Nightcrawler faces some unusual prejudices in his 1985 miniseries. In the first world he visits, everyone mistakes him for a "boggie", a creature that, coincidentally or otherwise, looks very similar to him, has similar powers, and is treated as something of a pest. Because of this, people tend to react to him with fear or treat him with contempt, though his actions eventually force them to change their tune. Near the end of the series he runs into Cretacious(sic) Sam, a cowboy t. rex who immediately wants to shoot Nightcrawler dead just for being a mammal. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: With all the lineup changes over the years, there were a few rosters with only one female member: Jean Grey was the only female member from issues #1 to #59 (September, 1963-August, 1969). Then supporting character Lorna Dane (Polaris) joined the team. Storm was the only female member in issues #95 to #96 (October-December, 1975), after the resignations of both Jean Grey and Polaris.

Tongue-Out Insult: In one issue, Jubilee has been captured by the Mandarin, who has had her dressed in traditional Chinese attire and make-up, and makes loud complaints about her being "sullied by the mongerel ways of the West." Jubilee's most eloquent response to him was to stick her tongue out at him, to his exasperation. Then Wolverine shows up to rescue her, and she ends up blowing up the Mandarin's house. | |

Honorable mention to Moira MacTaggert, who in her first appearance witnesses a demon smash through the wall of the mansion... and instantly grabs an assault rifle. Carol Danvers becomes an honorary member of the team for several issues after losing her powers at the hands of Rogue before gaining her Binary abilities during the Brood Saga and flying off to space to join the Starjammers. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Jean thought she was pulling one when she decides that, with her TK, she can keep out lethal radiation long enough to pilot a shuttle containing the X-Men. However, the Phoenix decided differently. The Phoenix itself (still masquerading as Jean) does this on the Moon when it realizes that the Dark Phoenix will come back eventually no matter what. Its death (albeit temporary) leads to the real Jean's eventual resurrection. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Things Chris Claremont likes to use in his stories; Brainwashing, Body Horror, women in skimpy outfits inflicting brainwashing and / or Body Horror, Storm being courted by Affably Evil villains (and Storm in general), women trying to corrupt younger female characters, and any combination of the above. Also, Purple Prose. Sometimes this is either through villains monologuing or heroes retorting with monologues of their own or even the narration going on tangents to monologue about the characters' foibles. Jay & Miles X-Plain The X-Men even has the "Angry Claremontian Narrator" as a side character (and a rather dickish one at that) due to its prominence during the Bronze Age. | |

Progressively Prettier: Rachel Grey, what with having grown up in a dystopian internment camp. Logan at one point compares her to a Holocaust survivor (Logan knowing whereof he speaks). After she got put on a bus and reappeared in Excalibur, she had suddenly filled out, gained a few feet, and developed a fondness for leather. Rogue started off as a skinny teenager. Mysteriously, she starts looking like a supermodel around the time Jim Lee started working on the title. When he first appeared, Banshee was drawn as looking like an offensive 19th century Irish stereotype. When he reappears in Giant-Sized X-Men, he suddenly looks a lot hunkier. Nightcrawler. In his earliest appearances, he has harsh facial features, mixed with the blue fur, yellow eyes and pointed teeth. After a while, his features started developing so he looked... well, hot. | |

Disney Death: Two-ways. The entire All-New, All-Different team save for Jean and Beast after their second fight with Magneto leaves the groups separated by a wall of magma. Jean and Hank go home to inform Xavier that Scott, Ororo, Piotr, Kurt, Logan and Sean have died when they're actually safe and sound in the Savage Land thinking that Jean and Hank were the ones who died. The entire team during "Fall of the Mutants", with, for a while, the entire world thinking the X-Men were dead. It also led to Nightcrawler and Shadowcat moving to England and forming Excalibur. | |

And the Adventure Continues | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_716c0b1b | comment |
In the next issue, the original five X-Men seek the help of Dr. Banner and find a device that can restore Xavier's mental state. The Professor is saved, everyone smiles, and an ending caption narrates that "and they fought happily ever after...??" | |

Gaslighting | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_727a65e0 | comment |
Colossus was similarly defined by his Russian heritage a great deal early on. His status as a “Man of Steel� (which was the literal translation of Joseph Stalin’s name), last name of Rasputin and early explanations of his atheist upbringing marked him as a child of the USSR. The X-Men’s first encounter with Arcade had the villain Gaslighting him into thinking that he had betrayed his homeland and he became “The Proletariate�, a defender of the working man intent on crushing Western civilization. Luckily, he snapped out of it the next issue and returned to his previous ideology. | |

Put on a Bus | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_754df088 | comment |
Put on a Bus: Quite a few characters over the years, especially during Chris Claremont's long run. Beast left the team first, graduating from the school, and going off to his own adventures in other titles, before a decades long sting with some guys called "the Avengers". The entire original group of X-Men, save Cyclops, leave after Giant-Sized X-Men. Jean, Havok and Lorna Dane return soon after, but Iceman and Angel take a while longer. Banshee, who left after losing his powers after straining them to save all of Japan from sinking into the ocean. Cyclops leaves in #138 (the issue following the Dark Phoenix Saga) and returns after helping the team defeat Magneto in #150. Wolverine, during his mini-series and engagement to Mariko. After Mastermind caused her to break said engagment off, he rejoined the team. Cyclops, who lost leadership to Storm, despite her being without powers at the time, and decided to leave again to spend more time with his family. Nightcrawler and Shadowcat, both of whom were horribly injured during the Mutant Massacre, and woke to find the X-Men apparently dead, leading to them founding Excalibur. Sage leaves after Decimation, getting transferred over to New Excalibur. Havok, Polaris, and Rachel remain in Shi'ar space at the end of Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire, to try and stop Vulcan. They remain up there until 2011. | |

Freak Out | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_7fbe9a30 | comment |
Freak Out: Colossus completely loses it when the team goes into space for the first time, turning into metal and shredding his suit. He's thinking of his brother Mikhail, who supposedly died in a shuttle disaster ("supposedly" because many, many years later, Mikhail would turn up very much alive). Storm’s claustrophobia causes her to lose control at several points, with the most dramatic being when she is encased in solid chrome by Doctor Doom and immobilized, leading to her creating a super-storm over the Western Hemisphere in an attempt to free herself. Her appearance after breaking free is so terrifying to behold the X-Men can’t help but compare her to Jean as the Dark Phoenix. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: During the Second Coming crossover, a big one was that the Nimrod sentinels were being taken down remarkably easily, to the point where two X-Men could take one down together, and Namor could take three at a time.

He is able to do things like turn a school into a genetics laboratory far beyond the reach of '60s science, make underground bases with shielding able to keep out lava, and advanced robotics, and a freaking asteroid base. He never once uses this for anything over than his own petty drives (the whole "protecting mutantkind" thing came later). | |

Wham Episode | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Being a Long Runner, there are several throughout the series: Giant-Size X-Men #1: Professor Xavier recruits a second team of mutants to save the first group, bringing in future mainstays Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Breakout Character Wolverine. The following issues sees all of the original members except for Cyclops leave, shifting the status quo in the title for good. Issue 95 sees Thunderbird sacrificing himself to stop Count Nefaria’s plot, marking him as the first X-Man to die in battle and showing that as far as the All-New, All-Different era is concerned, Anyone Can Die. Issue 101 features Jean sacrificing herself to pilot the X-Men back to Earth and being reborn as the Phoenix, sparking a 36-issue Myth Arc that culminates in the most iconic storyline in X-Men history. The Dark Phoenix Saga (#129 - 137) features a Wham Episode every issue, bringing in major characters (Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost, Dazzler, the Hellfire Club), revealing Jean’s mysterious paramour as Silver Age villain Mastermind, featuring Jean’s transformation into the Dark Phoenix and destruction of a star system, the X-Men’s climactic duel on the Moon with the Shi’ar Imperial Guard and Jean’s Heroic Suicide to prevent the Dark Phoenix from emerging once more. The follow-up issue 138, sees Cyclops quit the team, leaving the X-Men without their leader. Days of Future Past (#141 - 142) features Kate Pryde of 2013 shifting into her younger body to warn the X-Men of the dark future ruled by Sentinels. Though the X-Men save Senator Kelly from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants the dark future is not necessarily prevented as Kelly recruits Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club to enact Project Wideawake to unleash Sentinels on the mutant race. Issue 160 has the team go to Limbo to save Illyana Rasputin, facing twisted alternate future versions of themselves to save Colossus’ little sister. Though they escape Illyana is aged seven years in the process and irrevocably changed due to her ordeal with Belasco, leading to years of stories throughout Uncanny X-Men and New Mutants that culminate in the Inferno (1988) crossover. The Brood Saga (#161 - 167) features the X-Men getting kidnapped by the Brood and implanted with queen embryos, leading the team to launch a final attack against the aliens in a Dying Moment of Awesome. Though the X-Men survive and return home Professor Xavier has been so shaken by the temporary loss of his students that he forms the New Mutants. After Xavier nearly succumbs to his Brood embryo and has his consciousness placed in a clone body, allowing him to walk for the first time in fifteen years. And worst of all, Kitty has to leave the X-Men to join the New Mutants! | |

Big Bad | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Magneto held this title for about the first 150 issues, until he started making his Heel–Face Turn and eventually joined the team outright. If it wasn't him, then the Hellfire Club or the Shadow King were top contenders for the X-Men's biggest nuisance. While Magneto remains the Arch-Enemy in the early issues of Claremont's run, his appearances are considerably less frequent than in the pre-Claremont era, with Sebastian Shaw serving as the most overarching Big Bad starting from issue 110 for about a hundred issues. Mister Sinister takes on the role from Mutant Massacre through Inferno, and is consistently one of the most prominent villains in the franchise from that point onwards. | |

Bat Family Crossover | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_9736fbe0 | comment |
Bat Family Crossover: Became more prominent during the 80s when series such as the New Mutants and X-Factor began to expand the Marvel Universe. This was kept pretty mild with stories such as The Mutant Massacre and Inferno (1988) until the 90s when the myriad books basically became small pieces of a larger whole leading to the next major crossover. | |

Evil Counterpart: Claremont's absolute last issue of Uncanny, in the mid-00s, introduces the First Forsaken, a sort-of-counterpart to the Phoenix. "Sort-of" because literally everything Phoenix related afterward has ignored its existence entirely. | |

Secretly Earmarked for Greatness: In issue #300 (first story), Xavier remembers a date he had with Moira where they talked about the founding of his school. Xavier showed Moira pictures of Jean Grey, Scott Summers, Hank McCoy, Warren Worthington III and Bobby Drake (who will become his first generation of students). Moira then commented on another set of images showing a African woman (Storm), a blue-furred acrobat (Nightcrawler) and a towering, burly man (Colossus), to which Xavier replied that he considered the latter three potential recruits for "the next generation of X-Men". | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Early on in Claremont's run, hints are dropped as to Storm's claustrophobia (her fondness for being out in the open sky, rather than indoors), but it's not until the All-New X-Men's trip to Ireland that we get the full story on that. During the newly minted Phoenix's battle with Fire-Lord, Jean notes that she is feeling unusually aggressive, even wanting to kill the guy when called away. It is the first hint that her power-up is going to lead to Bad Things. Come issue 110, Jean starts ruminating on her increasing powers, and wonders whether it will eventually corrupt her. In the lead-up to issue #150, Professor X thinks about how the X-Men haven't heard from Magneto since the All-New team's run-in with him in the low 110s, but that recent weather seems like it must be his work. | |

Nuclear Mutant | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_9d67ad5c | comment |
Nuclear Mutant: Early on, the explanation for the sudden appearance of mutants was the development of the atomic bomb, hence the team's nickname "Children of the Atom". Despite this, most of them do not owe their powers to exposure to nuclear radiation. Sunfire does, because his family were at Hiroshima. | |

Filler: issue 106. Quick, Erik the Red has abducted Lilandra, and D'Ken is about to cause the end of all reality! Time for... a flashback about Professor X's Superpowered Evil Side trying to kill the X-Men? Probably caused because issue 107 is largely comprised of a big fight scene. And it does provide a conclusion to the long-running thread of Charles having bad dreams at the end. | |

Thunderbird (who similarly only lasted a few issues before being killed off) was defined completely by his Apache heritage and hatred of the “white man� for what they did to his people.

Artistic License – Religion | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: Nightcrawler's (later-retconned) priesthood falls under this. While his being a mutant would be no impediment under canon law (to be fair, canon law has never had to talk in favor of or against blue-furred, three-toed teleporting mutants), ordination as a Catholic priest is not a part-time job. A seminarian goes through four to eight years of college-level studies and then completes an internship at a parish before ordination begins, which is not a lifestyle conducive to being a swashbuckling superhero. | |

Arc Villain | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_ad9559e6 | comment |
Arc Villain: Lucifer, the alien responsible for paralyzing Xavier, is the first in the series, serving as an overarching villain across the first several issues. The mysterious organization Factor Three, led by the Mutant Master, serves as this during Roy Thomas's run. Erik the Red from issue 97 to issue 105 (barring a few issues off to let Steven Lang - no relation - take center stage). He turns out to be The Heavy for the Mad Emperor D'Ken. The Hellfire Club begin twisting things in their favor in 110, when they hire Warhawk to plant surveillance devices throughout the mansion. Their agent Mastermind spends the next few dozen issues psychically guiding Jean Grey towards becoming Black Queen of their organization and they eventually make their full presence known at the beginning of the Dark Phoenix Saga before being supplanted by the titular figure as the story's Big Bad. The Brood make their appearance known upon Corsair's return to Earth and continue as antagonists in the Brood Saga that lasts until issue 167. Mastermind returns to manipulate events between 168 and 175, striking out for revenge against the X-Men in plots that range from the petty (like convincing Mariko that Logan is unworthy so that she’ll call off his wedding) to the petty, but more dramatic (like tricking the team into thinking that Madelyne Pryor is the Dark Phoenix reborn and launching yet another attack on humanity). Loki is the mastermind of the Asgardian Wars storyline, in which the X-Men and Alpha Flight thwart his attempt to con his way into ultimate power, he sends the Enchantress after the New Mutants in revenge, and the X-Men come to the nine realms to rescue the kids. | |

Retcon | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: The story of Charles' encounter with the Shadow King is an example of a seamless retcon, fitting in neatly to established continuity and building on previous stories. Magneto turning out to having once been friends with Charles, meanwhile, not quite so much. This came after several decades of stories with the two characters, with no hint of a personal relationship. But it does put their fight, and Magneto's beef with the X-Men in a different and more complex light. So no-one's about to complain. Almost everything involving Jean and her connection to the Phoenix Force, including whether it was her or the Phoenix itself that interacted with the X-Men during The Dark Phoenix Saga. This retcon was a major cause behind the splintering relationship between Claremont and Marvel execs during the late 80s and early 90s. Pyro's early issues state, quite clearly and repeatedly, that he is most distinctly British, and in case you miss that, everyone else calls him British and he uses various cockney Britishisms. Later on, he just becomes Australian, and never looks back. Deadly Genesis retcons Giant-Sized X-Men, claiming there was another team Charles sent to the island between the original team and the All-New X-Men, and that Krakoa was not actually sentient at all. | |

Colony Drop: In their fight with Jahf, Jean tries grabbing a passing asteroid and dropping it on his head. It doesn't do anything. Moses Magnum attempts to do this with the entire island of Japan. Luckily, Banshee disrupts his plan with a massive sonic scream that blows out his powers for quite some time, forcing him to quit the team. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: When Jean shows up for the first time all of the other guys — except for Bobby — immediately start drooling over her. Hank settles into an easy friendship with her soon after leaving Scott and Warren to vie for Jean's affections for a good part of the Silver Age. Warren eventually realizes that he and Jean are Better as Friends and Scott and Jean become the one true X-couple from thereon out with no one ever showing up to try and split them up. Iceman, Havok and Lorna Dane, which eventually seemed to conclude with Havok ending up with Lorna. The famous Cyclops-Jean-Wolverine triangle. Jean generally prefers good-if-utterly-crap at expressing his feelings Scott, but there's some attraction to Logan in there. | |

Forced Transformation: In issues 190-191, Kulan Gath uses his magic to remove the mouths and warp the arms of Doctor Strange and Selene to prevent them from casting spells against him. He also combines Xavier and Caliban into a single creature and turns the New Mutants and Wasp into more monstrous versions of themselves. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Numerous over the years: During Claremont's first run, Wolverine made no secret of the fact that he didn't abide by the Thou Shalt Not Kill rule. Thunderbird was also this to his detriment, as the writers didn’t know what to do with the similarly grizzled hero with Wolverine on the squad and deciding it was easiest just to kill him off. Warpath in Brubaker's run. A nice, genial guy all around, but he also has two very big Vibranium knives which he can and will use on folk. One of the biggest would be Emma Frost during Fraction's run, who was part of Norman Osborn's Cabal. Doubly so for Namor, who was part of both the Illuminati and the Cabal during both the Fraction and Gillen runs. The Utopia era sees Cyclops progress further and further into Anti-Hero status before undergoing a full-on Face–Heel Turn (unless one was Rooting for the Empire against the Avengers) during Avengers vs. X-Men. | |

Faint in Shock: Played painfully straight in issue 148, when Kitty Pryde (thirteen years old if even that at the time) faints when kidnapped by Caliban in his first appearance. He is much creepier than his later appearances would make him, but still... Even more painful in issue 11, where after The Stranger walks on air and through a wall, someone utters these gentlemanish words: | |

Cutting the Knot: Faced with an out-of-control Danger Room, and a big control panel of indecipherable switches, and a little groggy from getting teleported, Wolverine decides the best way to fix the problem is scratch it up. That works. In issue #150, Kitty has to deal with the control systems for Magneto's computers. Problem is the conviniently handy book is written in a foreign language she doesn't know and probably in code on top of that. So she just smacks the hell out of the thing with a chair. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Magneto. Ye Gods, Magneto. Magnetism apparently allows him to fly, mind-control people, knock folk unconscious, protect himself from convection, predict where Nightcrawler will teleport... and, on occasion, he will use it to manipulate metal. Jean's transformation into the Phoenix is all over this. Previously limited to telekinesis and telepathy, Jean suddenly has the power to; transform her clothing, fly, shoot fire, throw down with Heralds of Galactus, open stargates... oh, and surviving being killed by unfiltered and ludicrously lethal levels of radiation. A little beyond your average telekinetic, that. | |

Let's You and Him Fight: The team's attempts to stop Lucifer (the alien warlord) aren't helped by the Avengers getting involved. The X-Men return to Earth to stop the Brood embryo near-to-term within Xavier and run into the (from their perspective) previously unseen New Mutants living at the mansion. Both groups immediately devolve into a fight, with the New Mutants putting up a bit of a fight before being overwhelmed by the much more experienced X-Men. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Nightcrawler receives an image inducer to hide his appearance in public and remain anonymous, which he tends to render useless by choosing some A-List Hollywood celebrity. At one point he shifts through several appearances such as Clark Gable and Groucho Marx before settling on his usual form of Errol Flynn. Our first look at the Shi'ar is one great big Star Trek: The Original Series homage, right down to the ship's bridge layout, the crew's uniforms... they even have a Prime Directive. Kitty, being a massive Star Wars nerd, tries doing an homage to The Empire Strikes Back at one point, namely the scene of Yoda lifting the X-Wing (X-Wing, X-Jet, geddit?). Kitty ends up teasing the X-Men by saying she had gained new telekinetic powers that would allow her to retrieve the Blackbird from the ocean floor where it crashed. The X-Men are suitably impressed, until they see Colossus carrying the plane out of the water, at which point they realize they've been had. Kitty Pryde uses a Shi'ar clothing machine to first give herself a version of Mary Marvel's outfit, then... Darth Vader. Another issue shows her reading an issue of Marvel's contemporary Star Wars comic. In one issue where Carol Danvers is hanging around, she wears a red shirt with a stylized lightning bolt on it. Or, in other words, the insignia of the original Captain Marvel. Watching the wedding of Vulcan and Deathbird, Warpath compares it to the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana (presumably in terms of pomp and circumstances, not in terms of how the couple feel about one another). | |

Spin-Off | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_d9ee7048 | comment |
Spin-Off: As Claremont added more and more characters (and the franchise exploded in popularity) a number of these popped up: New Mutants, detailing the adventures of Xavier’s second group of students (the All-New, All-Different team were adults when they joined and did not fit the “teen superhero� aesthetic of the first team). This series would eventually be rebooted as X-Force. X-Factor, which saw the original five X-Men (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman and Angel) forming a new team that pretended to be mutant hunters so they could rescue young mutants on the run. The original members would all rejoin the team after the Muir Island Saga with Havok, Polaris, Multiple Man and others forming a new X-Factor as a group of government sponsored superheroes. Excalibur, a combination of X-characters (Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers) and Marvel UK characters (Captain Britain and Meggan) going on wacky adventures across the Multiverse. Dazzler would spin-off into her own series instead of joining the team after The Dark Phoenix Saga. Due to the deal worked out by Marvel editorial her first appearances in Uncanny X-Men were more of a Backdoor Pilot than anything. She would join the X-Men proper after the cancellation of her series. Wolverine, being the Breakout Character would receive his own limited series in 1982 written by Claremont with art by Frank Miller and later star in a Long Runner solo series as he continued to eclipse every other mutant in the Marvel Universe. | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_dab2f3ee | comment |
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: In case her general attitude, smugness, sinister grinning and total lack of empathy wasn't kind of a hint already, Emma Frost tended to smoke in her villain days, out of an evil cigarette holder, including when she had hijacked Ororo's body. | |

A Glass in the Hand: In issue #161, Lilandra learns from Gladiator that Reed Richards has saved the life of a dying Galactus, and crushes the glass she has in her hand at the moment. (Presumably Shi'ar medical tech could fix up the fact she probably cut her hand to chunks). | |

Battle Couple | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_db39ccfd | comment |
Battle Couple: Due to the heavy soap opera elements, a number of these exist throughout the series’ history: Scott and Jean finally admit their feelings for each other during the Silver Age issues and remain a couple up through The Dark Phoenix Saga where they make their last stand together on the Moon. Colossus and Kitty strike up a flirtation early on that blossoms into full-blown romance during The Brood Saga. Though they do break up after Secret Wars (1984) the Kitty/Colossus relationship is a well many authors would return to over the years. Havok and Polaris try to avert this by leaving heroics and attending college but they are inevitably pulled back into the X-Men’s circle against their protests. Scott and Alex’s dad Corsair shares this trait with his sons, forming a long-lasting relationship with his fellow Space Pirate (and snarky alien skunk/cat lady) Hepzibah as members of the Starjammers. Though it would only be confirmed after a retcon years later — plus decades and decades of not-so-subtle hints — Mystique and Destiny form this as members of the second Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. | |

Ship Tease: Claremont's second run has a lot of this between Bishop and Val Cooper. Then in the final issues, the other X-Men finally comment on how chummy they have gotten, and Bishop suddenly explodes at them about how their relationship is strictly professional. Emma and Namor. She is half of why he even aligned himself with the X-Men. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: Xavier keeps seeing psychic flashes of a bug-eyed alien approaching Earth throughout early issues featuring the All-New, All-Different team. This figure is later revealed to be Lilandra, the escaped princess of the Shi'ar Empire. After the All-New team's first encounter with Magneto, as they flee Wolverine notes one of the cells on Muir Island has been damaged, but doesn't mention it. Several issues later, the occupant of that cell gets out. Amahl Farouk, shown in a flashback to be Charles's Starter Villain in his past, and who is apparently killed in their first encounter. He later turns out to be not so dead after all. | |

He refuses to give them a boat, paid for in Moira's name, and refuses to give the money back. So Colossus hangs him from a pipe and the X-Men take his boat anyway. Then, when Magneto destroys it, Mr McWhirter decides the best response is to go to Muir Island and blow it up, not caring whether anyone innocent will be hurt (in fact thinking "so much the better"). | |

Cain and Abel: Juggernaunt (Cain... Marko) to Charles (Abel). D'Ken (Cain) to his little sister Lilandra (Abel). And then their sister Deathbird(Cain), who murdered another sister of theirs. Havok (Cain) to Cyclops (Abel) any time he's brainwashed. Which is a surprising amount. Then, during Brubaker's run, Havok is the Abel to Vulcan's Cain. Colossus (Abel) and Magik (Cain) can have this from time-to-time when Illyana gives in to her Darkchylde persona. Their older brother Mikhail similarly jumps back and forth between Cain and Abel status when he shows up in the 90s run; typically settling on the former as an antagonist. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Xavier Institute is supposed to be a school, but an awful lot of the time you won't see the X-Men doing any schoolwork, or teaching anyone. Of course, the fact the school was a cover for teaching them to learn how to protect a world that hates and fears them has something to do with this. It wasn't up until Grant Morrison's New X-Men that the school had a population large enough for them to have to teach. | |

| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: Issues #65 and #66 serve as one to the original incarnation of the team: Professor Xavier is revealed to have survived his "death" from issue #42, and trains the X-Men to withstand a Z'Nox invasion. During the climax of the issue, Xavier uses his powers to connect with every human mind on the planet and redirects the connection to Marvel Girl, who links with Havok, who uses his powers to energize Cyclops, while Iceman cools them off from the heat the energy provides. The invasion is averted, but the strain of such a display of his powers weakens Xavier. In the next issue, the original five X-Men seek the help of Dr. Banner and find a device that can restore Xavier's mental state. The Professor is saved, everyone smiles, and an ending caption narrates that "and they fought happily ever after...??" | |

Running Gag | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In the early Claremont issues, every time the X-Men go near a vehicle, it gets trashed, be it car, jet, space shuttle, hovercraft. They set foot in it, it goes "boom". Eventually, Nightcrawler starts cracking wise about it. As seen above in Early-Installment Weirdness, Claremont would come up with new wrinkles to Wolverine’s character that he would casually drop in conversation such as his adamantium skeleton, healing factor powers and even his real name. Naturally, one of his teammates would ask why he never told them about (insert new revelation here), with this always being the response: "You never asked, bub." Kitty and her impractical or flat-out ridiculous outfits. | |

Little Black Dress: Storm dons one for a formal do at Cassidy Keep. Nightcrawler is understandably awed. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: When in the Savage Land, no matter how long they're there or how rough the conditions, no X-Woman will ever get scratched or dirty or dishevelled in the way the men do. Case in point, the first time the All-New team stay there, Scott gets scruffy enough to start looking like Corsair. Storm... looks like she just stepped out of the shower. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Exaggerated during the Claremont and Lobdell runs. Especially noticeable with Banshee, who really shouldn't be able to talk while using his powers. | |

Cross Through | |
| Uncanny X-Men (Comic Book) / int_ff90e4ca | comment |
Cross Through: Early on in Claremont's run, just after Jean becomes Phoenix, she starts rooming with Misty Knight, who by mysterious coincidence was created and written by Chris Claremont. Fancy that. During the X-Men's visit to Japan, they run into her friend / partner Colleen Wing, also created by Chris Claremont. And the introduction of Stephen Lang has a brief appearance by Michael Rossi, a supporting character in the contemporary Ms. Marvel, which was written by... Chris Claremont again. In the run-up to issue 150, the gang has a brief moment where Spider-Woman is suddenly staying at the mansion. Guess who was writing her title then. | |
