WE HAVE A WINNER!:w00t:

...gotta admit, Stan's bosses had the right idea in getting the name changed. 'X-Men' does sound cooler.;)

Not the 'answer' in the introduction, but points for trying, Speedy!;)

CLUE: Stan's bosses argued that nobody knew what a mutant was...:hmmmm:

[quote][b]Slaymaster (1/9/2009)[/b][hr]Question still remains, what was the series original name that Stan gave it (but got shot down)?:hmmmm:[/quote]

In the late 70's, I used to live next door to Jack Kirby. He told my father, while I was playing in the next room, that Stan's "working title" (I didn't know what that meant at the time) for X-Men was "Fun Boys, The."

RE: The Fuj Knowledge on Xmen

Slaymaster — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:01:49 GMT

Bobo, Bobo, Bobo... according to the Marvel Masterworks: X-Men #1 preface by Stan Lee, The X-Men was actually partially named after Professor X, mostly for the 'xtra' powers.

Question still remains, what was the series original name that Stan gave it (but got shot down)?:hmmmm:

RE: The Fuj Knowledge on Xmen

Boboset — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:30:09 GMT

The X-tra power question was pretty easy but I think many confuse the X standing for Xavier, or even maybe eXtraordinary.

Stan Lee created the X-men and explained the naming of the title of the book to convey what about the characters featured? Essentially, why are the X-men called the X-men according to it's creator?[/quote]

uhhh. the extra powers they had?[/quote]

Correct! :) However, you have refused to answer my original question... not exactly gunning for the trophy are we? :dontknow:

RE: The Fuj Knowledge on Xmen

Slaymaster — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:30:31 GMT

SCHEISSE!!!

Okay, I was wrong... but after looking at my Marvel Masterworks/ The X-Men #1, I was refreshed on Bobosets trivia as to why Stan 'The Man' Lee came up with the name.

Little bit of trivia there, too... :hmmmm:

what was the first name that Stan came up with for the comic that would be known as 'The (Uncanny) X-Men???:blink:

(Stan was kooky, but undeniably the shizznit.:cool: )

RE: The Fuj Knowledge on Xmen

Slaymaster — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 00:36:23 GMT

Ouch, good trivia question, and one I'll bet we've all read at one time or another...

I'll take a poke at it and say because of the extra gene(s), or 'x factor'.

Now I'm going to go and find out for sure... :D

[quote][b]aarondawe (1/6/2009)[/b][hr][quote] I don't think anyone has a better run than Claremont when he penned GSX#1 and UXM#94-280. What was it, 17 years straight? And none of it sucked. (Although after Claremont left it wasn't quite as good.:D )

Really? The whole seige perilous and the invisible to cameras crapola that eventual just faded away without explanation -- that didn't suck?[/quote]

Nope!:laugh: As far as I remember, Roma's the Celestial Guardian, and when the X-Men helped her defeat the Adversary she restored their life essences and bodies and then granted them a boon... to be 'invisible' to all scanning and recording devices/powers. This was Storm's idea, so the X-Men could strike back at the X-Men's enemies... no more reaction, it was proaction time. The 'invisibility' was contingent upon the X-men's staying out of the 'public eye'; while the world believed they were 'dead', Roma's enchantment (for lack of a better word) would be in effect.

No crapola here!:cool:

rotflmao, slym assassinates the competition from afar with one shot, multiple kills. :laugh:

Fuj is absolutely correct though, the X-Men is, was, and always will be the king of comics. I don't think anyone has a better run than Claremont when he penned GSX#1 and UXM#94-280. What was it, 17 years straight? And none of it sucked. (Although after Claremont left it wasn't quite as good.:D )

No you still lose. X-men started sucking upon creation. The most impressive thing about Claremont is the characters he created/help to create. Is there a particular arc you would like to know about?[/quote]

Partial Credit... The X-men did not suck upon creation, however laremonts most impressive event is the characters he created.

Fuj - 2

Superpro - .5

Claremont loves the savage land because he was infatuated with dinosaurs as a kid and this is his way to live vicarously through his writing pen.

Okay, I got a question: Why has the X-men been lame since Paul Smith left in issue #175?

And my follow up question:

What is with Chris Claremont's obsession with the Savage Land?

RE: The Fuj Knowledge on Xmen
