I recommend you reading Giant-Size X-men 1! This issue is the unofficial introduction of the future new members of the X-men. However, you will only briefly taste their superpowers and origin, and they’re off on a mission.
There is also a twist to the story when they attempt to save the captured X-men and it was something that I did not expect.
A few small arguments happened among the new mutants in between chapters. It is also their first time working together as a team. Therefore, team co-operation is very poor.
Their team leader and original member of the X-men, Cyclops, managed to lead them to secure their first victory.
P.S. Can't seem to be able to find a physical copy of the Giant-Size X-men 1? It is no surprise here and or it might even be too costly, so what should you do? Let me suggest not only reading the Giant-Size X-men 1 but also along with other 496 Uncanny X-men issues - click here to find out.
Don’t you love it when something unexpected happens? For your information, the first print Giant-Size X-men 1 is not easy to find. Before i forget, this is my first review!! Enjoy! =)
Mutants from all over the world such as Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Banshee, Storm, Sunfire, Colossus and Thunderbird were recruited by Professor Charles Xavier (Prof. X) to meet Cyclops.
I managed to upload a picture of them together for the first time, click on the image to enlarge it in a new window.
The captured X-men were rescued by Cyclops and the newly recruited mutants. They attacked and defeated the Krakoa by using Polaris power to push it to space.
This issue shows how Professor Charles Xavier personally went to sought help from these new mutants. Most of their superpowers and a little of their history were displayed to give you a feel of it.
Cyclops and the newly recruited mutants head to the island of Krakoa to rescue captured X-men members such as Archangel, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Havok and Polaris. After setting the captured X-men free, they realized that the island is alive and wished to feed on their superpowers.
The new mutants will become the new members of the X-men in the next issue. Only Cyclops will stay to lead the X-men, while the original X-men will leave.
