The Uncanny X-Men #145

May 1981 · Marvel · 0.50 USD
“Kidnapped!”

In "Kidnapped!", the X-Men face a desperate mission when Dr. Doom captures Arcade, prompting Miss Locke to strike back by taking the team’s loved ones hostage. With Xavier calling in Havok, Polaris, and Iceman, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Angel, and Nightcrawler infiltrate the temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York, while the others race toward Murderworld. As Storm is unexpectedly treated as a guest by Victor, Arcade joins the fray—more ally than captive—while Doom’s fury turns deadly when he encases Storm in metal and turns his sights on the rest of the team. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum with inks by Joe Rubinstein, the cover by Cockrum and Rubinstein captures the tension of a team pushed to their limits.

Dr. Doom has captured Arcade. In response, Miss Locke kidnaps the X-Men's loved ones in order to compel them to help rescue her boss. Xavier calls in Havok, Polaris and Iceman to assist. Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Angel and Nightcrawler try to infiltrate Castle Doom (well, the temporary Castle Doom in upstate New York) while the rest head off to Murderworld. Storm is wined and dined by Victor while her comrades fight their way in. Arcade joins them, more as a guest than a prisoner. When Doom is attacked, he encases Storm in metal and then turns his attention on the rest of the team.
