The informed reader knows that the X-Men were originally cancelled in March 1970 with their 66th issue. The issues that followed were actually reprints of previous issues, whereas for next few years, the X-Men would occasionally guest-star in some other comics. Eventually, the team was reinvented in 1975 with Giant-Size X-Men #1, and the adventures of these all-new, all-different X-Men were continued in X-Men (1st series) #94 onwards. This page will keep track of all the team's appearances and flashback scenes set in the gap during between X-Men (1st series) #66 and Giant Size X-Men #1.

He sends Angel, Marvel Girl, Beast and Cyclops to the Savage Land to search the crashed building for Magneto’s dead body(UXM 63). The plane runs into heavy turbulence and crashes down, Jean cushions the fall but is injured. The rest of the team is retrieved by Savage Land natives, later they are told that Jean "passed over to the land of the dead". (3 days after UXM #66) |
| XMHY #2 | 01 / 2000 | Angel, Cyclops and Beast learn that in this section of the Savage Land nobody dies, the sick and old are put in boats and sail to "the land of the dead" within the mountains. Searching for Jean, Beast and Cyclops embark on one of those boats and land in a strange city. Angel tries to fly over the mountains but turbulences smash him to the ground. |
| In New York Bobby picks up a mental call from Xavier. It was directed to Havok and Lorna. Xavier tells them that he lost contact with the team and he wants them to investigate. Iceman decides to help too. | ||
| XMHY #3 | 02 / 2000 | In a small outpost in the mountains Angel is nursed by some natives. They explain that there is magic in the rocks, that heals all illness and overcomes even death. Generations ago natives settled and built a city there and slowly those people were changed by the magic. They evolved into winged creatures called Nhu’Ghari, that exploid the other regions of the Savage Land. The old and ill people that are sent to the city are used as slaves. Some of the Nhu’Ghari realized the wrongness and created this outpost, among them is an even more mutated female named Avia. In the city Beast and Cyclops learn pretty much the same, in the main building they discover a big aircraft with gasfilled balloons. Jean awakes in a prison cell, she faces an astral projection of Magneto. |
| Havok and Lorna arrive in the Savage Land in a small shuttle and meet Ka-Zar. | ||
| XMHY #4 | 03 / 2000 | Magneto explains to Jean how he survived in UXM #63 : Beneath the crushed building there was an underground river in which he fell into, he was swept away till he emerged in the Nhu’Gari city. There he used his limited telepathic capabilities to project his astral form, while his body is hidden in a cave to heal. The "magic" is nothing more than radiation from deep within the earth that comes to the surface with vulcanic activity. Now another eruption is near so he orders Amphibius to fetch his body from that cave. Magneto merges back into his own body. Scott and Hank make their way to the prison cell, free Jean and together they defeat and capture Magneto. Angel and Avia arrive just in time to witness the start of earthquakes and vulcanic eruptions. Scott creates a pathway into the mountains to ensure that the natives get away, but he is rendered unconscious.The team chooses to use the ballooned aircraft to escape. |

He is curious about the visor and opens it to discover the eye beams. Not far away Beast and Ororo introduced themselves. Ororo admited that the bad weather was originally her doing but Deluge wrested control from her and the storm expanded. Suddenly Beast recognizes Scotts power signature and he and Ororo head into the jungle. Together with Jean they attack Deluge, but he defeats all of them with his vast elemental forces. The four mutants are tied to posts in a dry water reservoir, then Deluge creates rain and a flood filling the reservoir. |

Jean connects the minds of Beast and Ororo, who then shapes the water in her rain clouds in a certain way. Jean then makes Scott use his eye beam once more, which is focused through the water lenses. Deluge attempts to absorb the beam, but it is to strong for him - he explodes. All the tampering with Scott’s mind causes him to wake up.

Yet because it’s repair sequence was still incomplete it could not terminate the young girl, but fell under the control of her mutant power. |
| During the battle Beast and Xavier discover that young Ashley has some control over the Sentinel. While it attacks Xavier and Beast it stops when the girl tells him so. As Ashley’s mother enters the scene the Sentinel registers a human signature and remembers his programming to destroy all mutants.

The leader of the freaks approaches them, he is called Krueger and with his negating powers he cancels the X-Men’s abilities. All three are rendered unconscios. Then he contacts the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Blob, Ununs, Mastermind) that he has three more X-Men to sell (, by costume he mistakes Candy for a mutant too). | ||

| Candy now has finally the chance to tell her important message. She alerts Warren that his mother is about to marry his uncle Burt, aka the supervillain called the Dazzler, who also murdered his father. (It happened in Ka-Zar #2-3 and Marvel Tales #30) During that battle Burt also learned the secret identity of Warren. | ||

| XMHY #15 | 02 / 2001 | The X-Men do not know hot to prevent the wedding.

They thought it better not to alert the media of the hewroes‘ demise to prevent a mass panic. The signal cerebro reacted too actually was the big Inhumans‘ city. |
| Angel and Candy deal with the authorities and oversee that the villains are put into custody. Thanks to Jean a telepathic inhibitor prevents Dr. Stuart and the Dazzler from revealing Warren as the mutant Angel. | ||
| Xavier and Mrs. Teri Martin are glad to see that Ashley has no side-effects of her mental surgery. | ||

| XMHY #17 | 04 / 2001 | Kraven has given Avia a slow poison and will only give the X-Men the antidote, if the Beast agrees to a fight one-on-one.

Inside Lorna is introduced to the Promise, the group of mutants assembled around Messenger. They know that a war between mutants and humans is inevitable and they want to lead the world after that war, so they put themselves in cryogenic sleep and check the status of sociaty every 10 years. During these occasions they recruit more members and now it’s Lorna’s turn. Meanwhile the other X-Men have arrived, but as they try to enter the house they face a barrier. Then one of the promise uses illusion powers on the team and they unknowingly fight each other till they are all unconscious. The promise decides to take both Havok and Lorna, since they aren’t as much indoctrinated by Xavier as the rest of the X-Men; also a female member wants to have the Angel along for his beauty. All three are put into cryogenic sleep. |
| Teri Martin tells Xavier how she had to raise Ashley alone, since shortly before she was born, her father died while working for the navy on a nuclear submarine. Although she now has more problems considering that her daughter is a mutant, she is glad to have met Xavier. | ||
| XMHY #19 | 06 / 2001 | Cyclops, Iceman, Marvel Girl and Beast find themselves in a strange chamber with prehistoric vegetation. Suddenly they receive a telepathic message from Messenger, who explains them how he assembled his group over decades and that they will shape the future of both humanity and mutantkind, once when they emerge from hibernation. He then bids them farewell and activates the cryochambers. Left alone the four mutants examine their prison, which seems to be miles below the surface, and discover a strange tunnel. It leads to a giant vertical shaft, but once they try to reach the centerpiece, they are sucked up by a big air fan. Cyclops has to destroy the device, which results in the team falling down the vent. Jean cushions the long fall, but most are rendered unconsious anyway. The Mole Man, who had been watching for quite some time, stuns the Beast, the only one still awake. |
| Meanwhile one of the cryopods opens again. It is the blonde female of the Promise. She frees the Angel, but says that they can’t rescue Alex and Lorna from their tubes without killing them. | ||

There he fights his way through some flying reptiles and finds the unconscious Magneto in the aftermath of an explosion. Not much later the Fantastic Four find themselves under attack. In Namor’s ship, Magneto uses the equipment to increase his faded powers. He then talks to Namor about pooling their ressources against the human race, as both mutants and atlanteans are outcasts. The Fantastic Four trace the source of the attack to Atlantis, Reed launches a sonic probe, but as Magneto from afar uses his powers once more to turn the Baxter Building‘s security devices against the team, the Thing presses a button that launches a missile against Atlantis. Namor is able to intercept the missile, but is now convinced that even the Fantastic Four attack him without reason. Magneto is satisfied to see that his plan works. On a long range radar scan, the Fantastic Four discover that Atlantis‘ fleet is preparing for war. |

The mole man then decides to open the floor from which various underground monsters rise to battle the X-Men. |
| Meanwhile Angel takes Lucy, the female Promise member, to the Blackbird. They depart to Lucy’s former home, which she left thirty years ago. She tries to make up with her son for having abandoned the family. However he is not to happy to see her and can’t accept the fact to have a mutant, younger than himself mother and Lucy and Warren leave again. During the flight back Lucy reveals to have some „persuasive“ power that she used on the Angel to take her to her family instead of searching for his missing teammates, yet she could not bring herself to force her son into accepting her. | ||
| In Atlantis Magneto suggests Namor to join forces against humanity. (Scene taken from Fantastic Four #102, re-drawn by Byrne, uses same dialogue) | ||
| Charles Xavier still tries to establish telepathic contact with his students as Teri austin interrupts him to alert him to the news on TV. Mr. Fantastic explains that the Fantastic Four were attacked by a magnetic wave originating from Atlantis, that a missile was fired against the undersea kingdom and that now an armada of warships is on the way. Xavier thinks that Magneto might be involved and sends his astral self towards the fleet, where he indeed finds his archenemy on Namor’s flagship. Magneto is surprised to discover the professor alive (the Changeling died in his stead in UXM #42), and the former friends again argue about their different philosophies. | ||
| Fantastic Four #103 | 10 / 1970 | The atlantean fleet goes into battle formation against New York, and Namor makes it clear that he will not allow Magneto to order him around. Meanwhile the Fantastic Four alert the Pentagon and the White House of the imminent attack, and they are allowed to try to deal with the threat themselves before the military gets involved. Reed tells Sue to bring little Franklin to Agatha Harkness, and Crystal is ordered to stay at the Baxter Building for communications, while the males board the FantastiCar. As they come within range of the atlantean flagship, Magneto secretly launches a missile against them, but Namor doesn’t want to be the one to strike first and flies after it. The heroes consider this an attack and open fire on the Submariner. With Namor busy, Magneto easily seizes control of the flagship. Somewhat later he becomes aware of the Invisible Girl returning from Whisper Hill, and uses his magnetic powers to disable her small craft. He lets it glide down to the ocean, and takes the unconscious Sue Richards hostage. Namor and the rest of the Fantastic Four are still fighting, till the atlantean prince finally realizes that his ship is gone. Again after much fighting he and the team understand that Magneto plotted them against each other, but it is too late. Magneto calls them on a video screen, presenting both Sue and Lady Dorma as his captives, and demanding that neither Namor nor the Fantastic Four will oppose him. |
| XMHY #21 | 08 / 2001 | Hank, Jean, Scott and Bobby fight all the Mole Man’s monsters and seem to be winning, but he presses another button and a trap door opens. The mutants fall into an echo chamber that amplifies the slightest sound into physical blows; all four X-Men lie unconscious on the ground. |

Helplessly Xavier watches as the master of magnetism plucks the craft from midair and takes it’s uncoscious passenger hostage. (Scene taken from Fantastic Four #103, re-drawn by Byrne, uses same dialogue, Xavier is drawn in a spot of the ship that was not seen in the FF issue) | ||
| Xavier makes contact with the Angel and Lucy, who attempt to get Havok and Lorna out of the hibernation pods, by acceleration of the chronmeters. They try it with Alex first, but unexpectedly his powers cause an explosion, since he doesn’t wear his energy containing suit. Havok is alright, but the explosion damaged the equipment and the bio-readings of Lorna are dropping fast. Thinking about Magneto, Xavier demands that his students head to New York, while Lucy will work on Lorna, but Alex wants to stay at Lorna’s side, though he leaves after one of Lucy’s „suggestions“. | ||
| Angel on the other hand prefers to search for his missing teammates, he enters the ancient tunnel system and suddenly is hit by a cloud of dust. Warren has been turned to stone by Pixie. She and Ikaris transport Warren near the Mole Man’s base, which he alone probably wouldn’t have found. The two Eternals then leave, wanting to avoid detection by the general population. | ||
| Havok makes his way to New York, where he is supposed to join the other heroes.

They call the White House and again are allowed to proceed with their plans despite their failures so far. Magneto sets up base in Battery Park and places the Invisible Girl and Lady Dorma in glas cyclinders; Namor arrives and demands their release, but Magneto says that he will only comply if both he and the Fantastic Four swear alliance to him. He then orders the atlanteans to attack the Baxter Building. The Torch deals with attackers on the roof, the Thing tries to stop the forces that come up in the elevators, and Crystal acts as last defense for Reed to build one of his gizmos. Finally it is finshed and the team flies to Battery Park. Crystal calls up a lightning, and in the distraction Mr. Fantastic streches himself high above Magneto, as the mutant uses his magnetic powers they are redirected throgh Reed’s apparatus and trap Magneto in a cone of energy fueled by his own magnetism.

Finally they see daylight and find themselves on Monster Island. |
| The Baxter Building is attacked by atlanteans. The Human Torch, the Thing and Crystal try to provide Reed with enough time to finish a weapon against Magneto, but he is hours away from finishing his task, right as Xavier‘s astral self appears.

The team departs to Battery Park, where after Crystal‘s distraction, Mr. Fantastic stretches himself to a spot over magneto to hold the weapon at the right position. As Magneto uses his powers, he gets trapped into a cone of energy, fueled by his own magnetism. The Invisible Girl and Lady Dorma are freed, the atlanteans return to the sea.
