☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive hardcover collects the early Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum run on Uncanny X-Men, beginning with Giant-Size X-Men #1 and continuing through issues #94-131, plus the Annual #3. It covers the formation of the new international X-Men team—including Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine—and their battles against threats like the Hellfire Club, Magneto, and the Sentinels. A cornerstone of Marvel's mutant mythology, this omnibus captures the transition from the original team to the iconic Bronze Age era that redefined the franchise.
In "The Doomsmith Scenario!", the X-Men face a new threat when Count Nefaria seizes control of the Valhalla air force base, forcing the team to take a stand. With Cyclops now leading the new generation and the original members gone, the X-Men must unite to confront Nefaria’s growing power—before his plans bring the base, and the world, to the brink.
When Scott’s grief over Thunderbird’s death unleashes an alien demon upon the X-Men, the mansion becomes a battleground of fear and fury. With Moira MacTaggert newly arrived and secrets brewing beneath the surface, tensions rise as Lang pushes forward with his dangerous plans—and Rossi may be the next target.
In "My Brother, My Enemy!", Xavier’s peace is shattered when he begins dreaming of a cosmic war, pulling him from a much-needed vacation. Back at the mansion, Jean Grey returns to the X-Men as Havok and Polaris—under the sinister control of Eric the Red—launch a brutal assault on the team, forcing the mutants to confront not just a powerful foe, but the chilling reality of a brother turned enemy.
In "Deathstar, Rising!", the X-Men launch a desperate mission to rescue their captured teammates from SHIELD's orbital platform, where they're trapped in a deadly crossfire with Sentinels—some eerily modeled after the X-Men themselves. With time running out and the line between ally and enemy blurring, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, and the rest must fight through a storm of mechanical threats, even as familiar faces from the past and present emerge in unexpected ways.
In "Greater Love Hath No X-Man...", the X-Men face a desperate battle against the X-Sentinels—twisted duplicates of their own team—determined to free their captured comrades. With the space station crumbling and time running out, Jean Grey must take control of the shuttle’s return to Earth, knowing the immense psychic strain could cost her everything.
In the wake of a crash landing in Jamaica Bay, Jean Grey emerges from the wreckage transformed—her powers flaring with a force that echoes the mythical Phoenix. As the X-Men regroup at Banshee’s newly inherited castle in Scotland, the atmosphere grows tense with secrets and suspicion, especially when Jean’s sudden transformation coincides with the arrival of her cousin Tom Cassidy and his reckless friend Juggy. With the team scattered and old tensions simmering, the line between ally and threat blurs—especially as something ancient stirs beneath the castle’s stones.
When Storm confronts her deepest fears, her memories of fleeing the storm-lashed streets of Africa flood back—just as the X-Men face their most unstoppable foe yet. With Black Tom Cassidy unleashing chaos and the Juggernaut advancing unrelenting, the team must find a way to stop him before it's too late.
The X-Men arrive at Muir Island expecting routine checks, only to find Eric the Red has resurrected Magneto—now fully grown and wielding his old power with unsettling calm. With tensions flaring and old wounds stirring, the team must navigate a fragile truce while confronting a past that refuses to stay buried.
In "Phoenix Unleashed!", Jean Grey’s long-buried Phoenix power awakens once more as Eric the Red, now revealed as the villain Shakari, manipulates Firelord into attacking the X-Men. With Lilandra captured and Earth under threat, Professor X sends the team through a space portal to rescue her, forcing Jean to confront the immense power within her as the team faces a battle that spans both worlds.
In "Where No X-Man Has Gone Before!", the X-Men race to rescue Princess Lilandra from her tyrannical cousin D'Ken, who seeks to harness the M'Kraan Crystal’s power for domination—only to find themselves blocked by the formidable Imperial Guard. With the Starjammers arriving in the nick of time, the team must navigate a galaxy-spanning crisis where loyalty, legacy, and the weight of past conflicts collide.
In "Armageddon Now!", the X-Men and the Starjammers race against time to reach the M'Kraan Crystal, facing off against the deadly Crystal Guardians in a high-stakes battle that pushes Jean Grey to the brink of her power. As the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, her connection to the Phoenix flares with terrifying might, while long-buried secrets—like Corsair's true identity as Cyclops' father—come to light in a moment that will change everything.
After saving the universe, the X-Men enjoy a rare moment of peace at the Mansion—until Weapon Alpha arrives, driven by a mission to reclaim Wolverine and send him back to Canada. With tensions rising and old loyalties tested, the team must confront a sudden, personal threat amid the quiet of their sanctuary.
In "Mindgames!", the X-Men find themselves trapped in a twisted carnival illusion, performing as sideshow acts under an unseen mind control. When Beast tracks them down to a dusty Texas fairground, he uncovers the truth: Mesmero has orchestrated the mind games, but the real danger escalates when Magneto arrives—unexpected and uninvited—shifting the stakes in ways no one saw coming.
In "Magneto Triumphant!", the master of magnetism unleashes a chilling revenge by capturing the X-Men and imprisoning them in a high-tech lair beneath an active volcano. Trapped and rendered powerless—chained to chairs that silence them and tend to their every need through a cold, mechanical nanny—each hero faces not just physical restraint, but a psychological siege unlike any they’ve endured.
In "Showdown!", the X-Men break free from their prison chairs and confront Magneto in a desperate bid to survive. As the battle rages, the base’s controls are destroyed, flooding the facility with lava beneath the frozen wastes of Antarctica—just as Phoenix rushes to save Beast, leaving the rest of the team seemingly lost in the inferno.
In the frozen ruins of Antarctica, a desperate rescue mission uncovers a grim truth: the X-Men are presumed dead, but the survivors—Jean Grey and Beast—return to tell Professor X the terrible news. As the remaining X-Men seek refuge in the Savage Land among the peaceful Fall People, a familiar threat stirs in the shadows. Lykos, once a man, now a twisted force of power, begins to reclaim his strength—drawing on Storm’s abilities to reawaken the monstrous Sauron.
In "Visions of Death!", the X-Men find themselves caught in the heart of the Savage Land as Sauron's true identity is revealed and the land itself begins to shift in terrifying ways. With Ka-Zar and the fallen Karl Lykos recounting the dark awakening of Garokk and the rise of Zaladane, the team faces a growing threat that cuts them off from the surface—trapped by ice and ancient forces they barely understand.
In "Psi War!", the X-Men, adrift at sea, are rescued by a Japanese vessel, where Professor X recounts a pivotal moment from his past: his first encounter with Storm, then a thief in Cairo, and his harrowing clash with the enigmatic Shadow King. As memories of that battle resurface, the team faces new challenges, testing their bonds and the limits of their powers.
In "The Submergence of Japan," the X-Men land in Tokyo to confront a sudden assault by Moses Magnum’s Mandroids, their mission complicated by the arrival of a mysterious new ally and the quiet presence of Mariko Yashida. As the city trembles under the weight of unseen forces, Professor X faces a moment of profound choice—while the team fights to survive, one of their own prepares to step into a destiny far beyond Earth.
Wanted: Wolverine! Dead or Alive! kicks off with the X-Men en route from Japan when a sudden storm forces their plane off course into Canadian airspace—where Alpha Flight is waiting, ready to arrest Wolverine. With tensions flaring and the skies darkening, Cyclops, Storm, and the rest of the team brace for a clash as Canada’s own heroes move in to take Logan into custody.
In "Cry for the Children!", the X-Men navigate personal struggles and shifting alliances as Wolverine pushes Colossus to confront his doubts, while Professor X attends Lilandra’s coronation. Jean Grey meets Mastermind for the first time, Storm discovers her childhood home turned into a drug den, and Cyclops shares a date with Colleen Wing—amidst growing tension as Arcade schemes with Black Tom Cassidy and Juggernaut to eliminate the team. With danger lurking in the shadows and old wounds resurfacing, the X-Men must stand together before the storm breaks.
There's Something Awful on Muir Island! — When Moira MacTaggert tests Jean Grey’s Phoenix powers, the results spiral into terrifying hallucinations, and the X-Men soon learn that Proteus has escaped. With Jean’s mind unraveling and Muir Island under unseen threat, the team must reunite to protect Moira — but not all who arrive are who they seem.
In "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth...!", the X-Men gather on Muir Isle to confront the terrifyingly powerful Proteus—Moira MacTaggert’s son—while Jean Grey battles haunting illusions fueled by Mastermind’s lingering influence. With tensions rising and reality itself unraveling, the team must hold fast as the line between mind and monster begins to blur.
In "The Quality of Hatred!", the X-Men regroup after a devastating encounter with the insidious Proteus, who has now seized control of his father’s body to wage a far more personal war. With tensions flaring and old wounds reopened, Cyclops must lead his team through a battle that tests not just their strength, but the very bonds that hold them together.
In "God Spare the Child...", the X-Men return to the mansion to find Professor X back and leading the team once more, but their reunion is short-lived as Xavier reveals a new mutant in need of protection. With the Hellfire Club already eyeing the young Kitty Pryde, the team races to recruit her—before the Inner Circle makes their move.
In a pulse-pounding twist of music and danger, the X-Men race against the Hellfire Club to recruit Dazzler, a dazzling new mutant whose powers light up the night. With Scott and Jean pushing forward, Jean’s mind battles the lingering echoes of Mastermind’s tricks, while Kitty’s quiet courage helps unravel a web of deception—just as Dazzler steps into a world she’s never known.
In "Run for Your Life!", the X-Men race against time as Kitty Pryde guides Scott, Jean, and Kurt through a high-stakes chase to rescue their captured teammates. With the White Queen and her Hellfire soldiers closing in, Phoenix's power surges in a moment of crisis, testing the limits of the team's resolve. As the dust settles, Xavier extends an invitation to two new mutants—only one of them accepts the call to join the fight.
