Notes & Trivia[]
- The X-Men were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in The X-Men, Volume 1 #1 in September, 1963. The title eventually evolved to include the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men, after which the series became a runaway hit, ultimately changing its title to Uncanny X-Men. Since then, this outcast team of mutant misadventurers have appeared in numerous comic book titles that have since been adapted into several cartoon programs, feature films, and video games; not to mention copious amounts of merchandising ranging from toys to apparel.
- Carol Danvers becomes Binary for the first time beginning with this issue.
- This is the first issue of Uncanny X-Men colored by Janine Casey. She works on two issues of the series in total. Her next issue is Uncanny X-Men #170.
- There are absolutely no normal human Earthlings in this issue. Everyone presented is either a mutant (the X-Men), an altered human of mixed heritage (Carol), a Shi'ar (Lilandra), or the Brood.
