A couple of new things...
Looks like this storyline continues into X:FC2 15. The teaser at the end implies that Medusa will make an appearance!
It is revealed at the end that the "Aaron Stack" in this issue is actually X-50. Likely his "neural engine", as Dr. Stack calls it, is re-used and rebuilt into the X-51 unit aka Machine Man since he is also named "Aaron Stack". Note: X-50 is never referred to as "Machine Man" in this story so if it's decided that X-50 gets a separate entry from X-51 he should only be referred to as X-50 and Aaron Stack, not Machine Man. The last panel of this story shows X-51 in the process of being built so this may be a new panel and would fit between panels of Machine Man's origin. Anyone know?
The second story has pages 2 & 3 switched (it shows Bobby and Professor X joining the conversation on page 3 yet they are already there on page 2 as things stand now). It also shows a panel of what might be the fight with Ymir from X:FC 5. That would push the placement of that issue sometime before this storyline which makes things awkward with the Blackbird jet. Other events referenced: The Lizard (X:FC 2, no new info), Monster Island (X:FC2 2-3), Warren & Wanda's romance + Angel & Quicksilver's fight (X:FC 7, nothing new), Angel flying out the window to avoid an exam on the Introduction to Ethics in Intercultural Economics (new, needs a placement), Warren bringing them pizza (also new), Angel caught in Spider-Man's web (new, possibly First Class story that hasn't "happened" yet? wearing First Class uniform), the aftermath of Hank & Bobby's road trip (X:FC2 4, this is new, should fit shortly after the last panel of that story), Angel rolls Blob down a river (new, possibly First Class event that hasn't happened yet? Blob is wearing his post-UX 141 unitard with belt instead of his usual shorts from this period), Angel pulls off Magneto's helmet (has he ever done this? I know he's pulled off Juggernaut's helmet. Possibly First Class event that hasn't happened yet?), Angel tries to rescue Marvel Girl by grabbing her ankles and her costume (First Class version) rips off from the waist down & she falls into some bushes while Angel is left holding the bottom half of it.
