“The Origin of Professor X!”

In X-Men #2 (1985), a mysterious threat breaches the X-Mansion’s defenses, forcing Professor X to reveal the origins of his past—specifically the story of his step-brother, the man who became the Juggernaut. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby and Alex Toth, with inks by Vince Colletta and letters by Sam Rosen, this issue blends suspense and backstory as Xavier recounts his history while the mansion braces for an assault. The cover, by Marie Severin and Joe Sinnott, captures the tension of the moment with striking detail.
