Kurt Wagner and the little people

[iamrman]

4 pages from Uncanny X-Men #103, so it is.

The X-Men are on vacation in Ireland, so of course that means leprechauns.

It's funny to think this was once a weird situation for the X-Men.

So I know Kurt was a bouncing blue baby boy but I assume the actual powers didn't manifest until puberty? This seems like this would have come up the first time he played hide and seek with Amanda otherwise. It's still weird that he didn't notice this until well into adulthood.

Sure, you hear people who will go on and on about how Claremont is, like, the greatest writer the X-Men ever had and every story he wrote was just so perfect...
But he also wrote the X-Men meeting actual leprechauns.

There is room, methinks, to suggest he actually wrote some total nonsense as well.


Did Cassidy Keep have a lab before Black Tom took it over, or what?
(From what the rest of the issue shows, it's in a good place for storms. Handy if you were some sort of mad scientist wanting to, just to make a random example, revivify some sort of creature with massive amounts of lightning.
...
y' almost expect someone to turn around and find Marty Feldman standing there...)

Hmm... did the little people of the Cassidy Keep ever meet the Troll Associates? If not there's a story that needs to be told.

Ahh, a classic issue! Either this one or the one prior introduced us to the fact that Storm has severe claustrophobia. And Nightcrawler using his image inducer to become Groucho Marx.
