Wow. The first battles with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are in issues 4 & 5, and Xavier fakes an injury after the first fight so that he can use the second fight as a "final exam" for his students. Kitty Pryde was right. Xavier is a jerk. LOL
I do love that my reading these old issues is just reinforcing my dislike of Xavier. I thought he was bad when I read comics in the 90s!

About to start issue 4. So far, this has been fun! Xavier is an evil drill sergeant when it comes to his students. I can definitely see where several of them grew up to hate him. Also, we're 3 issues (and 3 villains) in, and Xavier has mindwiped 2 villains (and an entire circus) so far. He's a little too quick to the punch there.

Starting my great X-Men read! I want to read all of the X-Men comics in order from beginning to end. I'm excited!
