Issue Description

When the X-Men arrive at Magneto's abandoned Antarctic base, they find it's not so abandoned. Garokk is there to ward off intruders, especially the X-Men.

Professor Xavier is very suspicious at Magneto's long absence and searches for him using all resources at hand including his telepathic powers and technology. Kitty makes herself a flamboyant and individualized costume and intends to show it to Xavier but accidentally short-circuits his computers when she phases into his office. She gets yelled at and the other X-Men try to cheer her up. Later on, wanting a more hands-on-approach, Xavier sends the team to check out Magneto‘s old volcanic Antarctica base for any clues and Kitty stows away in the Blackbird. Once there and after searching a bit, they run into Garokk, who had apparently survived the fall, the same one Storm could not save him from. Seething with vengeance and hatred, he attacks the X-Men and quickly defeats the team. He attempts to throw the unconscious Ororo into a similar shaft as his coup de grace. Luckily, Kitty comes up with an idea for Wolverine to throw her. She phases through Garrok, inflicting pain on him and causing him and Ororo to fall. Later, Kitty is able to rescue Storm since her fall was stopped by a ledge. On the mysterious island in the Bermuda Triangle, Magneto provided Scott and Lee with clothes and says that he knows who they are so Cyclops could remove his blind fold, as his mutant powers won’t work anyway.

Volume Description

This is a continuation of Stan Lee's and Jack Kirby's original The X-Men (Vol. 1). Beginning with issue #114 the descriptive "Uncanny" was added to the cover treatment but it wasn't until issue #142 that the volume's official name was permanently changed to Uncanny X-Men.

The title has had many creative influences over the years but Chris Claremont was probably the force that drove the title through many it its historic changes, truly bringing it from "the world strangest teens" into their new status a team of mutants fight in a "world that fears and hates them". During his legendary 15 year run he gave us character and stories such as Phoenix/Dark Phoenix, the Hellfire Club, the New Mutants, X-Factor, the Mutant Massacre, Inferno and Jubilee and numerous other historic heroes and events. This epic run ended after editorial disputes in 1991.

For the Uncanny X-Men Post-Schism, see Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 2).
