X-Men Archives
(Marvel, 1995)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.
Cashing in on the “X” mania sweeping 1990s comicdom, Marvel Comics released a four issue limited series entitled X-Men Archives. Each issue reprinted a classic New Mutants or X-Men story that reacquainted readers with the connection binding Professor X, his son Legion and their arch nemesis Magneto—the three major players that brought about the now classic Age of Apocalypse storyline.
With a new introduction and afterward sandwiching each issue, X-Men Archives begins with the summoning of Professor Xavier and his New Mutants to Muir Island. It seems that Moira MacTaggert is in desperate need of assistance with her newest patient—David Charles Haller, or as he is more commonly referred to, Legion. The boy is autistic and possesses three very distinct psi-powers: telepathy, telekinesis and the ability to psychically set objects afire. Through the course of his rather dramatic treatment, Xavier learns that the boy is his son—a child he fathered with Gabrielle Haller in his pre-X-Men days. The final installment reprints the first time he and Gabrielle met—she was in a similar state as her son, but brought back to consciousness by Xavier. It also introduces Eric Lansher in his pre-Magneto days, presenting the friendship that once existed between the two rivals.
