The X-Men team profile from the original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Compiled by Mark Gruenwald and Peter Sanderson with new artwork by Uncanny X-Men artist Paul Smith and the tech-y schematics by Eliot R. Brown.

There's a few mix-ups. Marvel Girl, Angel, Wolverine and Storm should be depicted in the costumes they were wearing when they joined the team and Kitty Pryde should also have a second listing under the alias Sprite. Arguably Multiple Man (who was working as Moira MacTaggert's assistant) could be included alongside the allies.

What’s the best double-entendre character name in comics? GO!

Featured Art:

OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE REDUXE EDITION blog (2013) by Chris Samnee based on art by John Romita Sr from the OHOTMU Deluxe Edition #11 (1986)

The OHOTMU Reduxe Edition was fantastic! The Blogger site invited artists to offer their interpretations of character designs of Marvel characters from the OHOTMU Deluxe Edition series. Looking back, some of those artists are now big names!

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe's entry for the Sentinels. Mark Gruenwald and Peter Sanderson did the research and wrote this up and the key illustrations are by Larry Hama (main picture) and Eliot R. Brown (interior schematic). I believe that's Bob McLeod art sampled from New Mutants #2 in those other pictures.
