So if I think about it, I first spied the X-Men on Battleworld and thought “Hey, cool, who are these crazy guys?” I liked Magneto’s helmet and powers and Colossus. I hadn’t even seen the X-Men on Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends - I’m an Orthodox Jew, and the show aired on Saturday mornings which is a tee-vee no no… I knew about Iceman and Firestar from print ads, but not who they were or their backgrounds. Cyclops was a guy with crazy eyewear who reminded me of the Tele-Vipers from G.I. Poor Dazzler.) I remember digging the comic, but feeling confused as to who the characters were, their names, and relationships. Neil: My memory’s a bit hazy (I was, what, 9?) but I believe my first exposure to the X-Men might have been Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. Garfield had it wrong - Mondays are the best.ĪIPT: Take that, Garfield! OK, so for the X-Fans who aren’t familiar with you and your work, let’s go back to the beginning. Very excited to be here talking about mutants on a Monday.
