I have to wonder if that played as big a role as anything in the 'MLK/Malcom X' analogy built-up between Xavier and Magneto, in that neither of them could truly beat the other, except in superhero comics where Magneto usually wiped the floor with the X-Men.ĭidn't they beat him during the second Cockrum run on an island? I really liked Magneto being a lot tougher during Claremont run.įirst battle, 1st Cockrum: clearly losing and Cyclops made them retreat to handle another problem. At best they fought him to a draw in #112-113. Kudos for noticing that Claremont's X-Men never ever once came close to defeating Magneto. In Comics Interview #46, Adams claims to have co-plotted this issue with Claremont. The special(from 6/86) also promised a Rachel-Phoenix miniseries by Claremont/Leonardi/Green in late 1986(with Spiral as the villain), and the Colossus mini in 1987.
Per Claremont in Amazing Heroes Preview Special #3: all of Longshot's X-Men appearances actually precede the Longshot miniseries as the character was yanked from his own past. In the future, while i'm working on a year you may see discrepancies like that occasionally but there's no need to alert me. So thanks! (If you're still seeing a problem we may be talking about different things so please let me know.) In this case, i think you leaving a comment republished this page and "fixed" the problem. Those links get created automatically and sometimes they get out of sync when i am shuffling stuff around until i republish the site manually. You've got the "Next Issue" linked to Cloak & Dagger #8 when you inserted a bunch of the Mutant Massacre titles between this and that one. As first i was going to say that it was a pretty nasty thing for Magneto to do since he knows Nightcrawler is injured, but maybe it was his way of keeping him out of the practice session without hurting Kurt's pride? Nightcrawler teleports before the spell is cast, in the initial Danger Room sequence, where Magneto has set a trap that zaps Nightcrawler out of the room if he tries to teleport at all. I suspect his abilities working here is part of the spell that briefly gave Storm her powers back. If you put it between X-Men 210 and 211, then Kurt shouldn't be able to teleport."Īctually, Kurt can still teleport but it takes a lot of effort, doesn't work reliably, is painful and exhausts him after. If you put it between X-Men 206 and 207, then Logan should be sick. Micheal wrote: "There really isn't any good place to put this issue. At least Warlock's poor fashion sense could be explained by his being an alien. Thank goodness the New Mutants never graduated in those horrendous costumes. Didn't it appear on somebody else eventually? Magma's graduation costume looks like one that DC's Flamebird wore a few years later. Bit suprised that the Weapon X thing wasn't intentional though. I always assumed Magneto's Mojo attire was referring to his WWII experiences. I agree on the Weapon X helmet and had to double-check the Marvel Comics Presents issue dates to make sure it wasn't a reference. If you put it between X-Men 210 and 211, then Kurt shouldn't be able to teleport.Īdded scans of Psylocke pushing to kill Spiral, and a shot of Colossus in the "Stryfe armor" (as Walter says, there aren't a lot of good shots of Colossus so this one is from the back and also features a naked Wolverine). There really isn't any good place to put this issue. Claremont's darker take on Psylocke really starts here. Note that not only is Betsy willing to potentially endanger her friends by not telling them that Mojo was responsible for her bionic eyes but she's willing to kill Spiral.
Wolverine wearing the Mojo-helmet actually reminds me of his Weapon X helmeted appearance, but that's just a coincidence, I think. The latter just has more spikes and a cape. There aren't many good images of him in the issue, but the evil, Mojo-fied, extra-armor Colossus looks to me like source of Rob Liefeld's "inspiration" for Stryfe.
