X-Men Classic #105

In "Duel," Cyclops and Storm face off in a high-stakes clash over who should lead the X-Men, testing their ideals and loyalty. As the team fractures, a pivotal moment arrives when Maddie names her son Nathan Christopher Summers—later known as Cable—while Professor Xavier remains stranded in space. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with inks by Whilce Portacio and colors by Glynis Oliver, this issue captures a turning point in the team’s history, all framed by Gary Frank’s striking cover and Mark Farmer’s dynamic inks.
