The X-Men Are Jerks Pt. 2

For some reason, I thought that Unus the Untouchable was issue #4 and so I was expecting to cover the X-Assholery from that issue too, but nope.  It's a long string of tales featuring the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants after this, so that's the next post on this.

In this issue, we start getting the characterizations we know and love.  We already had the playfulness of Iceman and Warren being a playboy, but now we have Scott angsting over his uncontrollable power, the erudite Beast, and the romance between Jean and Scott.

Reviewing 40+ Years of the X-Men: Professor Xavier Is a Jerk and So Are the X-Men.
