Answer: Warpath

James Proudstar first appeared in 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 193 (May 1985) wearing the costume of his late brother John, who died on a dangerous mission as the X-Man Thunderbird.

Answer: Sunspot

Roberto 'Sunspot' DaCosta's father, Emmanuel, was briefly a member of the nefarious Hellfire Club, little knowing that the Inner Circle of said club was largely composed of evil mutants bent on destroying the X-Men and the New Mutants.
9. In 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 150 (October 1981), longtime arch-rival Magneto shows his 'softer' side for the very first time, a landmark moment that would eventually lead him to renounce his villainous role and even replace Charles Xavier as mentor of the X-Men and the New Mutants. What happened in this issue to make Magneto change his ways?

Answer: He nearly killed Kitty Pryde

Kitty Pryde, the newest X-Man, had managed to injure Magneto with a surprise attack, and his immediate defensive reaction was to send a massive jolt of electricity through her body. As Kitty lay near death in Magneto's arms, he realized that his crusade had led him to a point where he was betraying his own principles by nearly killing a young mutant, the very personification of the people he sought to protect and advance.

He wept openly, vowed to change his ways, and left in peace.
10. The parents of Danielle 'Psyche' Moonstar were thought slain by a 'demonic' version of a certain wild animal. What kind of animal was it?

Answer: bear

As it turned out, the 'demon bear' actually absorbed the life essences of the Moonstars, and once Danielle and her comrades defeated the bear in 'New Mutants' no. 20 (October 1984), her parents were returned to her, safe and sound.
11. In the mid-80's, Storm found herself stripped of her mutant powers for almost three years (our time) after having been shot with a U.S. government-funded 'neutralizer' weapon designed to suppress mutant RNA. She was not the intended target of the 'neutralizer,' however. Who was?

Answer: Rogue

Rogue, who was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants well before joining the X-Men, was considered an extreme security risk by certain members of the U.S. government. Henry Peter Gyrich authorized the use of the 'neutralizer' against Rogue, but Storm was struck by the bolt instead, in 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 185 (September 1984).
12. In 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 160 (August 1982), Illyana Rasputin, younger sister of the X-Man Colossus, was briefly lost in a time warp while the X-Men were escaping from Limbo, an alternate dimension ruled by the demon Belasco. When Illyana was yanked free of this warp by Kitty Pryde, she was visibly older than she had been when first lost. Only seconds had passed for the X-Men, but how many years had passed for Illyana?

Answer: seven

Illyana was six when she and the X-Men were first abducted, and thirteen when she was finally (from her perspective) brought home. When Kitty lost her hold on her during the X-Men's escape, Illyana fell deep into Limbo, and spent seven years there, learning -- largely against her will -- the black arts. She later took the name Magik and became a valued member of the New Mutants.
13. Which X-Man is a devout Catholic?

Answer: Nightcrawler

Kurt 'Nightcrawler' Wagner has long been depicted as a very spiritual man, specifically a Catholic. In 'X-Men' no. 100 (May 2000), Kurt is even shown in priestly robes, having continued his training as a man of the cloth.
14. In 'New Mutants' no. 23 - no. 25, certain members of the team are treated for bizarre ailments caused by exposure to the same serum that created urban vigilantes Cloak and Dagger. Which of the following New Mutants was NOT suffering from such an ailment?

Answer: Cannonball

In 'Marvel Team-Up Annual' no. 6 (1983), Sunspot and Wolfsbane were kidnapped and given treatments similar to the ones that created Cloak and Dagger. By the end of that story, the frightening transformations the two suffered because of the drug seemed to subside...but less than two years later (our time), it was made clear that the problem had not been solved, but merely delayed. Cannonball was never given the serum.
15. In 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 170 (June 1983), Storm defeats Callisto and becomes the leader of the Morlocks, a band of mutants and other misfits who live beneath Manhattan. She and the other X-Men originally entered this conflict because the Morlocks had kidnapped a friend and former colleague. Who was it?

Answer: Angel

Morlocks Sunder and Masque abducted Warren Worthington III, the original X-Man known as the Angel, because Callisto deemed him 'the most beautiful man (she) had ever seen,' and planned to marry him, be he willing or no.
16. During an extended adventure in Asgard, Danielle 'Mirage' Moonstar became a member of the Valkyrior, and gained the ability to see the presence of death as it approached mortals. She also obtained a winged steed, which she brought back to Earth with her and kept as a companion. What was this steed's name?

Answer: Brightwind

He was white, and fiercely loyal to Dani.
17. What state in the U.S. is Rogue originally from?

Answer: Mississippi

We've been told several times that Rogue -- whose real name remains unknown (despite what the movie says!) -- grew up in Caldecott County, Mississippi.
18. Which New Mutant is guilty of having intentionally killed his or her own sibling?

Answer: Karma

X'ian Coy Manh (Karma) willingly took the life of her evil brother Tranh in her very first appearance, 'Marvel Team-Up' no. 100 (December 1980). While she did so in order to prevent him from killing Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and countless potential others, she remained haunted by her actions for many years.
19. Charles Xavier formed the New Mutants because he believed the X-Men to be dead. Therefore, when the X-Men showed up at the X-Mansion for the first time in almost a year (real time) in 'Uncanny X-Men' no. 167 (March 1983), the New Mutants were surprised by these superhuman strangers, and engaged them in battle. What was the title of this historic issue?

Answer: 'The Goldilocks Syndrome'

The full title was 'The Goldilocks Syndrome, or Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed?'. It was the first time the X-Men and the New Mutants met face-to-face -- and man, was it a doozy of a fight.
20. A number of X-Men and New Mutants come from the future -- or, more accurately, from alternate futures. Which of the following characters is NOT time-displaced?

Answer: Gambit

Phoenix II (Rachel Summers), Bishop, and Cable all came to the X-Men and New Mutants from various alternate futures. Gambit is a homegrown boy with some shady roots, but no time displacement problems.
