Overhauling GSX & CX

Post by Col_Fury »

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!

*

GSX 1 (16:1 - 17:3)-FB

Now I understand every word!”) Shiro becomes embarrassed when he realizes that only he & Kurt are wearing costumes, everyone else is in casual wear.

CX 1 (19 - 32)
-That night, everyone relaxes and gets to know each other.

*

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.

According to Jean in CX 1 (19-32), GSX 1 (16:1 - 17:3)-FB to CX 1 (19-32) spans a week.

Up next: Uncanny 94 & Classic 2, and more!

Awsome breakdown, but I'm curious, did'nt the Nightcrawler ongoing establish that Nightcrawler was running from the mob after just killing his step brother for murdering people in the village also making those flashbacks included in this juncture of time.

I flipped through more of Uncanny Origins 8, and you're right! I'll pull out the relevant issues and edit them into the above when I get the chance.

Thanks Jason!

I feel like I did a buttload of work on this very same topic about 4 years ago. Did anything ever come of that?

Archive 52, thread 51 would be what you mean (Jason Doty also takes a crack at interweaving GSX, UX and CX more generally in thread 33 of the same archive).

There's certainly a greater degree of intermingling GSX 1 and CX 1 in the current listings than you say was the case when you did that, but I don't have the time right now to do a side-by-side comparison.

Here are some additional information that I got from the OMITTX 4. Note the Index also mentions these events occur in "May of Peter Parker's third-last year in college" (YEAR 8 on Paul Bourcier's Marvel Calender). Among the new info is M/TU 23 and DEF 15-16.


M/TU 23
-Iceman and the Human Torch team up against Equinox. Then Iceman, Cyclops, Marvel Girl and the Angel depart on a "secret mission."

GSX 1 (16-19:4)-FB
-That most secret mission noted in M/TU 23 is the journey to Krakoa in the South Pacific. The latter portions of this flashback overlap with the beginning of the story in CX 1.

DEF 15 and 16
-While the mutants are away, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Mastermind, Blob, Unus the Untouchable, Lorelei) attack Professor X. The Defenders aid the professor, and the evil mutants' ultimate fate is to be regressed to infancy by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant.

CX 1 (1-4)
-Cyclops returns from Krakoa and begins training himself in the use of his strengthened eye-beam.

GSX 1
-Professor X locates and inducts eight new mutants into the X-Men for the rescue mission to Krakoa.

CX 1 (19-32)
-The evening after the successful conclusion of the Krakoa mission.

UX 94 (1-6)
-The morning after that, when Alex Summers, Lorna Dane, Bobby Drake, Jean Grey and Warren Worthington leave the X-Men.

UX 94 (7) and CX 2 (7-8)
-The new X-Men's training period, astonishingly enough, last not just for weeks but for fifteen months, including the winter seen in ASM 143 and 144, M/TIO 8, M/TU 32 and GSDEF 4.

Indeed. But Deadly Genesis wasn't around then. :wink:

Interesting. Given the events of X-Men: Deadly Genesis though, and the FlashBacks in X 2 & XU 2, I don't see how this can occur simultaneously... I've opted to go with the Defenders issues occuring well before GSX 1 & it's Flashbacks, if only to free up Moira.(In X 2-FB, Moira recieves the infant Magneto. In UX 104 it's revelaed Magneto was kept in a cell ever since. So I'm thinking we have Moira in X: HY 10, then the Deadly Genesis backups, then DEF 15-16 & X 2-FB, then GSX 1)

There may possibly be some additional information and/or flashbacks regarding Krakoa in Quasar #15-16 (which reveals Krakoa was captured by the Stranger after being launched into space) and Excalibur #31 (which reveals Krakoa launched spores while while being launched into space, one which became Vega Superior and battled Nightcrawler).

Interesting. Given the events of X-Men: Deadly Genesis though, and the FlashBacks in X 2 & XU 2, I don't see how this can occur

I always figured that Prof X and the Defenders battled the Brotherhood while the original X-Men were gone on the Krakoa mission (for one or two days), and as the infant Brotherhood were later shown in Moira's custody, Xavier had turned them over to her shortly before Cyclops returned and he left the recruit Vulcan's team of X-Men. As his initial recruitment drive was limited to the United States (as opposed to his later international search when gathering Storm's team), the young Magneto and Brotherhood could have been given to Moira and her staff locally at her American lab.

Note that, according to X 217, Moira was around while Xavier was "recruiting" Wolverine...

Well the fate of theother X-Men in "Defenders" vol. 1 #15 (September, 1974) is not that clear. Per an online summary of it , Professor X contacts the Defenders telepathically. "After asking for forgiveness at his intrusion, Professor X explains that those he normally uses for such urgent matters are away on a secret mission from which he cannot summon them back. He explains that he is in need of the Defenders to stand at his side in their stead to face a menace so awesome that it threatens the world! Dr. Strange replies on behalf of the Defenders and indicates that they would be honored to aid the head of the X-Men. Professor X thanks the team and asks them to join him immediately in New Mexico at the Carlsbad Caverns." ... "The others that Professor X is talking about are of course the X-Men. A footnote mentions that they have been sent on a secret mission in Marvel Team-Up #23. " Could be the Krakoa mission or an some unrecorded adventure.

I'm for leaving the Defender's stories before the Krakoa mission leaving some breathing room in an already cramped juncture of time. I can site evidence that will not be considered for the MCP, the "Welcome to the X-Men, Madrox" short story from one of the X-Men anthologies, that moves both GSFF no.4 and the Defenders issue to prior to GSX 1. Now I know, that the novels will not be considered canon, but since some of the stories are referenced in official handbook entries, wasn't the suggestion that simillar events occured, but we just did'nt see them on panel. Kinda making that argument a good reason for placement suggestion? Just food for thought.

I could have made this clear earlier, so sorry about that, but the biggest point for me was in X: DG 4-FB when Xavier explains to Moira that he was in mental contact with Jean during their flight to Krakoa, and when that link was broken he immediately came over to Moira's in New York. Given X: DG 4-FB, there's just no space for DEF 15-16, X 2-FB, & XU 2-FB, let alone for Moira to leave New York State, go to Muir Isle, then come back to New York State... or for Xavier to lose his mental link with Jean, travel to New Mexico, then come back to go to Moria's, after she's returned from Muir Isle after setting the infant Magneto up there. Ultimately, DEF 15-16 HAVE to take place well before GSX 1 thanks to X: DG 4-FB. At the very least, this will have to be corrected in Xavier's chronology.

Thanks for that. So the footnote in DEF ties that issue to M/TU 23,(which makes sense, DEF 15 & M/TU 23 were published within a month of each other) but we'll have to separate those from GSX 1 and call it an unrecorded adventure.

In other words, thanks to the new information in X: DG 4-FB we'll have to disregard the Index in this case.
