Overhauling GSX & CX
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 6:22 pm
Here's something I've been meaning to get around to for a WHILE now: Sorting out the page/panel ranges for Uncanny & Classic X-Men!
There's a lot of revelations in X-Men: Deadly Genesis and I've included the stuff that directly relates to Giant-Size X-Men #1. There are other sequences that I haven't included, like the origins for Vulcan's team of X-Men, because they take place prior to this. I plan on getting around to those eventually, I just wanted to untie this knot first. Speaking of X-Men: Deadly Genesis ,(to pull out a recent example) according to that series Moira MacTaggert knew full well who the X-Men were at the time of Giant-Size X-Men 1. In What If…? v2 9, though, she didn’t. Therefore the divergence point is earlier than the FlashBacks presented therein and any listings of WI?2 9 should be removed from all character chronologies, except for Uatu, of course.
Some character chronologies count the first splash page of GSX 1 as page 1, some don't. I've counted the splash as page one for everything below.
I've also included material for various X-Men recruitments by Xavier during this time, like Uncanny Origins 8 for Nightcrawler, X-Men Origins: Colossus 1 for Colossus,(thanks wolframbane!) etc. If anyone notices anything I've missed for this time frame please post it here.(the FlashBacks in Wolverine: First Class 5 takes place before this, so I'll tackle that in another topic) I'll make updated placement suggestions for characters from time to time from these synopses.
With that out of the way, here we go!

X: L 2-FB is currently listed in the Project as happening right before the new X-Men fly off to Krakoa, even though Cyclops is in a big rush. I agree with Paul B. that this should take place directly before the 'staircase posing scene', so I've moved it.

Up next: Uncanny 94 & Classic 2, and more!
There's a lot of revelations in X-Men: Deadly Genesis and I've included the stuff that directly relates to Giant-Size X-Men #1.

Now I understand every word!”) Shiro becomes embarrassed when he realizes that only he & Kurt are wearing costumes, everyone else is in casual wear. Peter seems excited at the prospect of getting a uniform. Wolverine compares this new team of X-Men to the Avengers & FF, and points out that these X-Men aren’t a team yet. Nightcrawler observes that Banshee is absent, Wolverine rebuts with Sean & Xavier are friends, and that Sean isn’t involved in this lesson. He unsheathes his claws and starts a fight. Peter armors up and tries to protect Ororo, who doesn’t appreciate it. Shiro shoots flame at Wolverine. Peter blocks Wolverine from Shiro’s attack while Ororo conjures the elements, and then starts to suffer from claustrophobia.

X: L 2-FB is currently listed in the Project as happening right before the new X-Men fly off to Krakoa, even though Cyclops is in a big rush. I agree with Paul B. that this should take place directly before the 'staircase posing scene', so I've moved it.
