Synopsis:
The X-Men return to the mansion following their adventure in space. There Jean has to try and explain to her parents about her life as a superheroine and she reminisces about how Corsair pleaded with her not to tell Scott he’s his father. Meanwhile Kurt talks to Scott about how no one can change what they are so there is no point in brooding about it. Later Colossus, Storm, Banshee and Moira have a picnic and Wolverine is in the forest tracking a doe, he is suddenly attacked by a man calling himself Weapon Alpha. The two men know each other and they have fought before but Weapon Alpha now wears a suit that gives him super strength and flight. He knocks Wolverine to the lake where there others are having a picnic. Colossus and Storm quickly attack Weapon Alpha who sends an energy beam in their direction but it bounces off Colossus and hits Moira. This makes Banshee go crazy who attacks with very high frequency sonic beams. Weapon Alpha decides to escape but Wolverine warns the others that this battle was merely the beginning.
Notes:
- Jean Grey’s transformation into Phoenix occurred in Uncanny X-Men #101. This is the first appearance of Weapon Alpha (later known as Vindicator and Guardian), the leader of Alpha Flight, he will attack Wolverine with the rest of the team in Uncanny X-Men #120.
- Actually, despite Wolverine’s claims Hudson was not present when Wolverine quit in Giant Size X-Men #1. He only learned about that incidence later [as seen in Alpha Flight #17]
- There are references to Charles and Moira’s past relationship in this issue including Charles expression when Sean and Moira kiss.
- This is the first time Wolverine is called Weapon X in the book.
