>Professor X has a new and needlessly elaborate way of finding new mutants. Who needs Cerebro when you have "a radar-image beam" which "converts radar blips into pictures of the object"? Quite how that helps you track down mutants, I'm not sure, but it finds the Stranger well enough...

>According to him, he's here representing "his people" who are interested in mutation. This doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense in the light of later origin stories.

>The first stab at an origin was in Fantastic Four #116, which claimed that he was a cosmic being formed by merging all of the inhabitants of the planet Gigantus together. The current version is in Quasar #16, which suggests that he's a kind of cosmic vivisectionist with connections to the Living Tribunal (don't ask). That version at least makes more sense for the story as a whole, but it still doesn't match what he actually says.

>X-Men Forever elaborates a little further and tells us that the Stranger's aim is to accelerate the evolution of mankind, thereby bringing about the end of the universe (again, it's all rather complicated). He hopes to be the sole survivor of this universe and occupy Galactus' place in the next universe. No doubt it all makes perfect sense to him.

>Cerebro starts beeping at the end, to signal the imminent arrival of the Juggernaut. (Of course, the Juggernaut's not a mutant, but whatever...)

>The Juggernaut is so scary that even Cerebro is frightened of him. Says Xavier, "I've never seen a mere electronic device register such an extreme condition of panic!" Cerebro signifies its panic as best it can, by beeping more than usual.

Attached: X-MEN011_15a.jpg (1000x1498, 361K)

>Well, this is an odd one. The Stranger doesn't really fit in the X-Men's world - something that must have dawned on Lee and Kirby pretty quickly, because he turns up in issue #18 and then never bothers the X-Men again for decades before showing up again in X-Men Forever.

Attached: X-MEN011_16a.jpg (1000x1490, 344K)

>To be fair, at least the "cosmic vivisectionist" origin story kind of fits with what's going on here, and it gives him some kind of rationale for taking an interest in the mutants. Mind you, I tend to think they'd have been better off just leaving him as an enigma.

>The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are dissolved, which must have come as a huge surprise at the time. Until now, it had seemed as though almost the entire series was built around Magneto and his Brotherhood as their stock villains.

>While they were never entirely forgotten about, this signals a clear change of direction for the book - one where not every villain is connected to Magneto!
