X-Men #4: "Upstarts"

[alliterator]

"Yeah, there are moments for different characters to shine because this is a large team, but you want everyone to be able to do their Claremont stuff, right? So I'm trying to make sure that everyone's getting, if not the focus in every issue, everyone's getting some focus as we go on. So in X-Men #4, we've got some good Juggernaut stuff and we've got some good Magik stuff."
-- Jed MacKay



The X-Men are sent after Fitzroy and the Upstarts, who are now RoxxTube stars who kill mutants for clicks. However, Cyclops, Psylocke, and Kid Omega are busy, so the team going after them are Magik, Juggernaut, Temper, and Beast.

Oh and the Upstarts turn out to be a very obscure team...from a while ago.







After the mission is over (and Fitzroy teleports away), Magik and the others return to the base.

It's sad that I can apply this sentiment in exactly the same way to Beast in this series.
