The story took place at a time when Storm was powerless, and Cyclops did
not use his powers either.  The "fight" was staged in the danger room as
a contest, not intended to hurt either one, just to determine leadership
(ie, it was not just a barroom brawl).  Storm "won" by default when she
ripped Scott's visor off and he forfeited rather than destroy the danger
room and possibly hurting Storm with his out of control optic beams.

I was looking into the Marvel Requirer, and in the next issue of X-Men

My question, the last time they tangled with him, he sort of did a fadeaway
and the story ended with Wolvie taking off Matsuo Tsurayaba's hand and 
handing over the carborundum synthesizer over to Maverick, anybody have any

Did you even check the aforementioned issue before posting this?
Quoting directly from the issue, "STRYFE and displacement unit, designated
ZERO, fled to current temporal zone, circa 1983 A.D." You had the temporal
in the wrong place (which probably why so many people got confued

No offense to Sarah, but Magneto (the mutant in question) was capable of
starting up volcanos only when using that nifty machine in X-Men #150
that magnified his powers.

Otherwise, I agree with her position:  Magneto couldn't enter the tunnels
becase the plot would be over with too quickly. Not that having Thor, of
all people, down there subtracted many Marauders...

Yeah, but I'm not going to blame Lobdell for that. The problems with the
X-books, IMO, are far more reaching than the fact that Lobdell is writing
UX. The plots started suffering when the crossovers became an annual thing.
The characters started suffering when Liefeld got to have his Romper Room
in the X-corrall. The constant behind both of those is the X-Editor, Bob
Harras. I hold him responsible for the general decline in quality of the
X-books, from a character/plot standpoint.

Lobdell, while certainly not a PAD or Morrison, still does an adequate job.
He's just trying to dig himself out of a realllllllly deeeeeeeeep hollllllle
[expensive echo effect OFF].

On a completely non-Mutant note, the recent end of Morrison's run on Doom
Patrol brings me back to an interview where he said that the next character
he'd really like to work on is Spider-Man. Now *that* would be cool.

	That was a classic example of an editing error.  At the time Bishop
came about, Cable was the leader of X-Force and Alex (Havok) was the leader
of X-Factor.  Jean was simply calling all the leaders of the mutant teams
(like the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and New Warriors couldn't help any).
Since Cable is no longer the leader of X-force (thank goodness), the future
that Bishop knows has already changed.  If the X-Force annual #1 was any
hint, Sam will be Cable's replacement for a long while.
	Anyway, having Bishop or Gambit attack the X-men would be
nauseatingly silly, as niether has the power to destroy all the X-men.  What
would be even more abhorrent is having a new character (like Omega Red or
someone completely fresh out of the uncreative minds at X-central) join the
team and destroy the X-men.

Well actually, those outrageous costumes do a couple of things. 

1) the get the attention of the innocent bystanders and give them a sort of 
   a warning to get the hell out of the way. There is some type of costumed 
   type in the area.  I don' know about you but in a world where costumed
   types tend to cause massive damage to the surrounding area *I* would get 
   the hell out of the way if I say a costumed person for any reason.

2) they distract the bad guys. Kinda hard to concentrate on trashing the good
   guys when the good guys are so good looking and there is so much of them 
   unclothed to gawk at.

Just some thoughts...

I used it as an example of Chris Claremont hinting at a possible
storyline concering Rogue's powers.  Since he's gone, we have no idea
if such a plot was planned, let alone knowing what it would be
exactly.  I feel that it has nothing to do with the later Rogue/
Magneto/Savage Land storyline, and SURE as hell wouldn't lead to
what we're speculating here.  As for her touching Betsy to absorb
her memories?  Betsy's a telepath... she'd've noticed Rogue/Carol
mucking about with her memories in this fashion whether Rogue's mind
is hard to read or not...

Remember when he took the magick rock so his friend could by "jugged" to?  And

Soooo.  Forget this "punch" stuff.  When the thrower is limited by his own

hitting with) and the receiver is pushing indestructable, a punch could be
next to useless.  I suggest that he should get hold of the opponent and
throw him.  Away.  Up.  Gone.

I may be wrong but...

Wolverine has an excellent sense of smell.  So good in fact that he can track a man, covered in alcohol, inside a car, across a city.

Wolverine has an excellent sense of balance.  No particular example.

Wolverine has a mutant-healing factor.  (Believed to be cellularly aware.)
Aside 1:  Would it be possible that any piece of wolvie's tissue regenerate into	  wolvie?
Aside 2:  Why didn't wolvie's hair grow back lickety-split in the environmental
	  releases.  (i.e.  cool exploding spike in chest.)

Wolverine has adamantium (sp) bonded to his skeleton.
Aside 3:  How do new red blood cells get released into his body?

Wolverine has a particularly nasty habit of sticking the second to smallest toe on his left foot up his nose when alone.  (Just A Joke, guys!)

This is all that I can remember.  Please correct/add to this.

I went and checked out my Uncanny X-Men.  Lobdell was in charge of scripts on

in UX #282 and Lodell was not on the team yet.  Portacio was drawing and in
