Issue Summary: 

Marrow dreams of the relentless sunlight of the of her childhood home - Mikhail Rasputin's pocket dimension. It was meant to be a refuge to save the Morlocks when their tunnels were flooded. Instead, it became a battleground – and the constant struggle lead to young Morlocks becoming the ruthless Gene Nation.

Marrow awakens in a Massachusetts hotel, which to her is a foreign land. Peter Rasputin – Colossus! - reclines on the balcony, sketching the sunrise. The pair are on an impromptu vacation after Xavier disbanded the team – perhaps for good.

At a nearby museum, a night watchman is accosted by a ghostly image, hovering near a painting titled “Illyana, by Piotr Rasputin.”

In her hotel room, Marrow flickers between the real her and the brunette stranger projected by her image inducer. Staring down snapshots of the unfamiliar her at local landmarks, with great effort she subsumes the bony growths on her forehead into her scalp. Peter arrives, and complements her on tweaking the image inducer.

Half a world away, a portal opens in the sky. Deathbird emerges from it, as haughty and imperious as ever. She hauls a massive monolithic statue in her wake. Somewhere else, a shadowy figure surveys the crowd around the Illyana painting, and spots Peter.

At the art museum, a young artist won't stop flirting with Marrow. In her frustration, bones grow unbidden from her face and arms. The artist recoils while Marrow flees into a restroom, where she re-engages her image inducer to become the dark-haired stranger. 
 
Peter is surprised to see her return as the strange woman, realizing that she had previously been mingling in public under her own power! Before he can say much else, the two of them fall into a strange portal that appears on the floor in front of Peter's painting of Illyana. 
 
Marrow instantly recognizes their destination – it's the dimension she used to call home. She runs away, chasing a silhouette she believes to be Callisto. 
 
With her gone, Mikhail Rasputin emerges from the shadows behind Colossus, declaring, “Together, we will re-make the world as it should be... and our sweet sister Illyana will soon live again!”

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).
