Key Issues - The Uncanny X-Men - Part One


So the key issues list that everyone who finds their way to this blog really wants to see. I'm breaking this up into parts because it has taken me so long to put together.  As with earlier lists, I haven't included issues for the beginning of runs by different creators because there are just too many to list.  What I found amazing during the research is that so many of the characters appearing in just the first 200 issues have had and continue to have a huge impact even today. Part one of the key issues list for The (Uncanny) X-Men after the jump.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - 1st Appearances


If you are at all like me, you are counting the days until May 23, 2014 in anticipation of X-Men: Days of Future Past.  As I did previously for X-Men: First Class which you can find here, I put together a 1st appearance list for all of the characters that we know about so far. There is one other that should probably be on this list, but I'll wait until the movie comes out in case anyone is avoiding the spoilers.  Also worth noting is that the story is based on Uncanny X-Men #141 and #142.



The (Uncanny) X-Men #1:  1st Appearance of Professor XavierMagnetoBeast, Iceman

The (Uncanny) X-Men #4:  1st Appearance of Quicksilver

The (Uncanny) X-Men #14:  1st Appearance of Bolivar Trask
The (Uncanny) X-Men #54:  1st Appearance of Havok

The Incredible Hulk #180:  1st Cameo of Wolverine

The Incredible Hulk #181:  1st Full Appearance of Wolverine

Giant Size X-Men #1:  1st Appearance of Storm, Colossus

Ms. Marvel #16 - 18:  1st Appearance of Mystique.  This one is tough to judge. Mystique cameos in #16, disguises herself as Nick Fury in #17, and makes her first full appearance as Mystique in #18.

The (Uncanny) X-Men #129:  1st Appearance of Kitty Pryde

Avengers Annual #10:  1st Appearance of Rogue

Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (The New Mutants):  1st Appearance of Sunspot

Marvel Graphic Novel #5 (God Loves, Man Kills):  1st Appearance of William Stryker

New Mutants #16:  1st Appearance of Warpath

Uncanny X-Men #282:  1st Appearance of Bishop

Uncanny X-Men #317:  1st Appearance of Blink
