Huh, Colleen Wing must be a latent telepath.

Speaking of, Jean, telepathy is the mind reading thing, not the moving objects thing.

For Scott, every woman is a redhead.

Well, except Moondragon.

Colleen is also a sometimes sort-of ninja, and as Psylocke has demonstrated Scott is also highly desirable to pseudo-ninja.
Not as much as he is to telepaths, though.

Love the bit on Wyngrade's shadow, the first hint of who he truly was.

The "Classic X-Men" reprint issues have modern insert pages with bits like a recurring theme of Jean just missing news reports of the X-Men to know they're alive.

When I was reading X-comics as a kid in the pre-internet late 80s and early 90s there were naturally lots of storylines I missed, only vaguely heard about from cousins, didn't know how they fit with other stories, etc. I didn't really know who Moira was, but I knew that Proteus was an important X-villain on Muir Island (from some early 90s annuals). I knew Legion was associated with Muir Island and didn't understand him other than he was scary big trouble. I read parts of the Muir Island Saga and knew Shadow King was an important X-villain. The result was that as a kid I thought Muir Island was a monster island of sorts where all the scariest mind-controlling, body-possessing, reality-warping villains lived and I couldn't understand why the X-men kept going there.
