Havok and Polaris really cannot catch a break. At all.

Eric the Red should wear...

View Answers

Shorts, like Scott did originally.
4 (50.0%)

Pants, like this imposter.
1 (12.5%)

A kilt, like... no one in canon, but it should happen.
3 (37.5%)



Besides that: what do you think of Scott and Alex's family drama? Storm's showdown with Polaris? Alex and Lorna's doomed idyllic life, and even more doomed dissertations?

And am I the only one who keeps calling him Erik the Red?

This Sunday, Colossus has an ill-fated romance.

Next week: Scott and Jean attempt to go on a date. Also, Sentinels!

Welcome to a very special point in X-Men history: the birth of the Angry Claremontian Narrator!

(But first, a correction re: last Uncanny issue—Len Wein was still plotting that one, which I missed the first time through. And this issue, Bill Mantlo is credited with a "plotting assist". After that, Claremont is sole plotter. I think.)

Anyway, back to the story...

This is the only time anyone talks back to the narrator. What’s up with that?

View Answers

Cyclops warned the others not to respond to malevolent narration, lest more demons be unleashed.
3 (33.3%)

No one else can actually hear the narrator, and after this Cyclops is doubly careful not to be provoked.
5 (55.6%)

The narrator felt bad about helping to unleash demons, and decided not to push mutants so far in the future.
1 (11.1%)

Something else, as I will explain in the comments.

What's up with the demonic cairn?

View Answers

Professor X knew it existed, but not its true nature. Possibly the first X-Men wrote reports on it.
2 (22.2%)

... ditto, but he knew what it was and just never got around to fencing it off.
1 (11.1%)

It's invisible unless broken.
1 (11.1%)

Demonic cairns are just really common in this universe, so no one really gave it a second thought.
5 (55.6%)

I have a different theory, which I will explain in the comments.
0 (0.0%)




Any thoughts on Steven Lang, Michael Rossi, or Kierrok the Damned?

And why do you think Professor X and Moira MacTaggert decided to introduce her as the X-Men's "housekeeper?"


This Sunday: Wolverine and Nightcrawler bond in "The Big Dare".

Next Thursday: "Erik the Red" steals Cyclops's old alter ego and brainwashes Havok and Polaris into attacking the X-Men.
