“We, the Jury...”
★ 1st appearance — Mutant-Master

From the pages of 1967 Marvel, The X-Men #37 puts our mutant heroes on trial — charged with nothing less than treason against Homo Superior — as a mysterious helmeted figure looms in the foreground, observing the team (Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, and Angel) caught in a swirling confrontation within a glowing sphere. Above it all, a bald, anguished figure crackles with mental energy, while the cover boldly announces the X-Men's face-to-face reckoning with the macabre "Factor Three." With interior work by Roy Thomas, Ross Andru, and Don Heck, and a striking cover from the combined talents of Don Heck, John Romita, John Verpoorten, and Frank Giacoia, this issue promises both a courtroom drama among mutantkind and a bonus story featuring some of the X-Men's mightiest foes as jury.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • First full appearance of the Mutant-Master — an alien from the Sirius system disguised in a humanoid costume — as the revealed leader of Factor Three.
  • First appearance of Changeling (Kevin Sydney) under that codename; he had appeared unnamed in earlier issues (#35–36) but is formally identified and named here for the first time.
  • Story title: 'We, the Jury…' — written by Roy Thomas, penciled by Ross Andru, inked by Don Heck, lettered by Artie Simek, edited by Stan Lee.
  • The issue is the dramatic apex of the Factor Three storyline, one of the earliest sustained multi-part story arcs in X-Men history, running from approximately X-Men #28 through #39 (1967).
  • The assembled 'jury' of pre-existing X-Men foes — the Blob (Frederick Dukes), the Vanisher (Telford Porter), Unus the Untouchable (Gunther Bain), and Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde) — testifies against the captured X-Men in a mock trial, threatening them with death for 'betraying Homo superior.'
  • Juggernaut (Cain Marko) appears on a video screen showing a replay of a past battle, not in person.
  • The issue was reprinted domestically as X-Men #85 (December 1973) and saw international reprinting in the British anthology Fantastic! (IPC, 1967 series) across issues #71–73 (June–July 1968), as well as in the German Hit Comics (BSV-Williams, 1966 series) #87.
  • Cover art is attributed to Don Heck and Frank Giacoia, with documented alterations by John Romita and possible corrections by John Verpoorten on the Iceman figure — a notable production-history detail confirmed by multiple comics scholarship sources.
