This issue shows four X-Men—Psylocke, Dazzler, Longshot, and Rogue—working together to take down the Juggernaut AND stop a train crash. The fact that three fourths of the heroes in this issue are female is a non-issue. That’s what I liked most about Claremont-era X-Men: the ratio of men to women was fairly evenly balanced. Women were respected, important members of the team, and their gender had no bearing on their status.
(Writer: Chris Claremont; artist: Mark Silvestri)
Uncanny X-Men #218, 1987
