I think like Blob's first appearance was as part of a carnival of crime right?

And then after the new team gets introduced, Mesmero mind controls them all into circus freaks before they're kidnapped by Magneto for some ageplay.

The Magneto baby prison stuff is really, really weird and probably emblematic of the worst excesses of the Claremont years. Like, man could write a comic, but sometimes things got flat out wonky.

You don't say.

Here's a chunk of that sequence minus the parts where you get flashbacks to Storm revealing she was raised as a thief:

End of #112





#113



and then a few pages later...

Yeah, and later Storm apparently and comes back as a child

This was also the second time a robot named Nanny infantalized the X-men.

I was cleaning out my parent's attic and found a box of old cards which included all the trading cards that came with the Executioner's Song issues.

The X-Factor books were the best part of that crossover.

"Alright I know we're all badasses here so someone's going to get hurt in this fight. It's probably me."

The only part I remember from the X-Factor issues was when Wolfsbane mauled Feral, which led to the start of the mandated therapy issue which was pretty great.

Is it the same one that has Quicksilver explaining why he's always so pissed off? If so, also one of my favorites.

Yeah it is, it's a great issue. Also has Strong Guy's pain reveal. Man that's a good issue.

Also the Number 1 Fan bit was right before the X-cutioners song issues, so like 4-5 issues before it. It was when they were dealing with the ship full of mutant refugees from Genosha after the whole X-tinction Agenda crossover.
