First X-Men #1-5
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 4:19 am
FIRST X-MEN #1 (October, 2012)
By Neal Adams & Christos Gage
APPEARANCES:
Wolverine, Sabretooth (also in –FB), Zebediah Creed (in –FB), Anthony (Bomb), Holo (Holly Bright), Charles Xavier, Moira Kinross, Magneto
FLASHBACK:
Sabretooth’s dad chains up the young Sabretooth in the basement.
SYNOPSIS:
Wolverine is on his way to visit an old friend when a kid (Anthony) in the street suddenly explodes. Wolverine contacts Sabretooth and tells him he’s decided to help young mutants cope with their powers and protect them from the government. The two break into a government facility in Virginia, see the boy’s body hooked up to machines, and steal government files to find other mutants. They fight their way through armored guards and escape, not noticing that the boy has woken up. In Washington, DC, they find the first person on their list: Holly Bright, who casts illusions, and save her from attacking government agents. She joins them. They then find the next person on their list: Charles Xavier, a telepathic student at Oxford. He refuses to join them. In Argentina, Magneto hunts down and kills former Nazis.
NOTE:
Xavier is a student at Oxford and is engaged to Moira, and his brother is noted as a jerk (and alive). It’s unclear how much time passes between the Holly and Xavier scenes, and if the Magneto scene is happening at the same time or later.
Speaking of Magneto, Wolverine says their next stop is Argentina to look into reports of Magneto (he calls him by name, Erik Lehnsherr). And yet, next issue opens with them in Colorado, and then returning to New York to train the kids before heading to Argentina. So, yeah.
FIRST X-MEN #2 (November, 2012)
By Neal Adams & Christos Gage
APPEARANCES:
Wolverine, Sabretooth, Bomb (Anthony), Holo, Yeti (Ben Goldendawn), Virus (Lyle Doorne), Magneto, Bolivar Trask, Fred Duncan, Mr. Hartfield
SYNOPSIS:
In Colorado, Wolverine’s group saves Ben Goldendawn from a group of hunters that think Ben is a bigfoot. Ben joins Wolverine’s group when they agree to help him find his brother. Who was taken by government agents. They travel back to Virginia and find Anthony, who explains he didn’t die when he exploded, but it took him a while to get his strength back, and that all the government agents left. Anthony joins the group, and they all go to Wolverine’s cabin in the woods in upstate New York. Wolverine and Sabretooth start training the kids how to use their powers. Wolverine’s group later finds Magneto in Argentina. Everyone fights for a while, then Magneto gets bored and leaves. Reading about the fight in Argentina in the newspaper, Bolivar Trask gets more funding for his Sentinel program if the mutants can’t be contained. Fred Duncan is authorized to try and hire Wolverine’s group to work for the government. He’s introduced to his new agent: Virus, a mutant who can control others.
NOTE:
Holly casts an illusion of the Manphibian; she says she saw the Manphibian in a movie.
It’s unclear how much time Wolverine and Sabretooth spend training the kids before they go after Magneto, or how much time passes between last issue and this issue.
FIRST X-MEN #3 (December, 2012)
By Neal Adams & Christos Gage
APPEARANCES:
Wolverine, Sabretooth, Bomb, Holo, Yeti, Virus, Scout (Josef Dansig), Shadowshift (Jamie Dansig), Meteor, Forrest Goldendawn, Namor McKenzie, Fred Duncan (also in -FB), Bolivar Trask, Charles Xavier, Mr. Hartfield, Kyle Dansig
FLASHBACK:
Fred Duncan gives an interview to a reporter.
SYNOPSIS:
Wolverine and his group battle an amnesiac Namor in New York. Federal agents arrive after Namor escapes and offers Wolverine and his group a job. They decline and return to Wolverine upstate cabin in the woods. Sabretooth and Holly fool around, and Sabretooth tells Wolverine that he and Holly are going to leave the group and have normal lives together. Wolverine talks them into staying. The next day, Xavier, now in the military, uses his telepathy to get a position under Fred Duncan. That night, Trask yells at Duncan for letting Wolverine and his group go. Virus offers a solution: he has Forrest Goldendawn (Ben Goldendawn’s missing brother) captive, so he infects him and controls him to infiltrate Wolverine’s group. Wolverine tracks Duncan and the group attacks. They rescue Forrest and some other mutants and escape. Wolverine feels his plan is working, and hopes the government will soon believe it too costly to go after mutants.
NOTE:
This issue happens shortly after last issue, and all happens in short order.
Xavier is now in the military, and his brother is referenced as dead (he’s not, of course; he’s buried under a mountain as the Juggernaut, but the US military doesn’t know that).
FIRST X-MEN #4 (January, 2013)
By Neal Adams & Christos Gage
APPEARANCES:
Wolverine, Sabretooth, Bomb, Holo, Yeti, Meteor, Shadowshift, Scout, Virus (also in –FB), Forrest Goldendawn, Charles Xavier, Fred Duncan, Kyle Dansig, Mr. Hartfield
FLASHBACK:
Virus is born deformed. He eventually kills his mother and possesses his father and gets a job with the government.
SYNOPSIS:
Wolverine and his group relax at his cabin in the woods and plan to attack the government again in the morning. Virus, spying on them through Forrest, assembles a strike team to attack them first. Trask activates his Sentinels, and Duncan tags along, with the newly assigned Xavier with him, to try to minimize the damage. Sentinels attack the cabin and Holly uses illusions to stop the soldiers from attacking. Virus attacks and enslaves Sabretooth and Wolverine to attack the others.
NOTE:
This issue happens shortly after the previous issue.
FIRST X-MEN #5 (March, 2013)
By Neal Adams & Christos Gage
APPEARANCES:
Wolverine, Sabretooth, Bomb, Holo, Yeti, Meteor, Shadowshift, Scout, Forrest Goldendawn, Virus, Magneto, Charles Xavier, Bolivar Trask, Larry Trask, Master Mold, Fred Duncan, Kyle Dansig, Mr. Hartfield
SYNOPSIS:
Sentinels kills Meteor. Sabretooth mortally wounds Virus, so Virus controls Sabretooth into mortally wounding Holly. Wolverine attacks the Sentinels. Fred Duncans fellow agent Kyle Dansig rushes into the cabin to save his two sons, Scout and Shadowshift. Sabretooth rushes Holly to a hospital, but she dies before they get there. She gives Sabretooth an illusion of them having a long happy life together, but he’s still enraged at Wolverine for “causing” her death. Hours later, Wolverine climbs out of the ruins of his cabin. Duncan tells Wolverine that everyone is dead, including Anthony, Ben, Forrest, Scout, Shadowshift, Meteor, Kyle Dansig and Holly. Trask is fired from his government job, so he starts personally funding his Sentinels and Master Mold project. Wolverine kills Duncan’s boss. Magneto hears about the death of Wolverine’s group, and the military cordon that still surrounds the ruins of Wolverine’s cabin. In Canada, Wolverine, sad about the death of his group, drinks in a bar until Sabretooth shows up, threatening to take away everything Wolverine will ever care about in the future. Wolverine falls out the door and government agents hire Wolverine to turn him into the ultimate weapon. Later, Xavier spends his family fortune to turn his mansion into a school for mutants.
NOTE:
This issue starts immediately after the end of last issue, then there’s a passage of time during the last handful of pages.
Larry Trask already has his medallion here, so this is after UX 58-FB (where Larry gets the medallion) and before UX -1 (where the Master Mold is being constructed).
There has to be a gap of time somewhere between Xavier’s appearance in issue #1 (student at Oxford) and Xavier’s appearance in issue #3 (Xavier in the military). Xavier is engaged to Moira in both issues. Wolverine spends time training the kids during issue #2, but that means there’s a gap of time for Magneto between issues #1-2. He’s in Argentina hunting Nazis in both issues #1-2, but given where the gap has to be for Xavier, that means Magneto is in Argentina in issue #1, then travels to Israel in UX 161-FB, then goes back to Argentina in issue #2. (-edit- not anymore; Xavier's chronology has been fixed, see posts below)
Xavier doesn’t spend his family fortune turning his house into a school until after he recovers from being paralyzed. Amelia, his physical therapist that fell in love with him and moved into his house, broke up with him because he started taking in young mutants in UX 309-FB. So the last page of issue #5 has to happen around there.
