** Storm and Wolverine were the least defined by their nationality, with the former's pan-African upbringing (she was born in Harlem, spent her early years in Cairo after her parents deaths as a pickpocket before traveling to her mother's homeland in Kenya) and latter's Canadian nationality only coming up as plotpoints and not character markers. Of course, whenever Logan does end up in Canada he typically runs into Alpha Flight, a team of nothing but CaptainEthnic representatives of CanadaEh.

* TheFirstSuperheroes: One of the first concepts used for the title way back in the 1960s (when the title debuted) was to refer to mutants as "the children of the atom". This was not without reason, for, at least for that time period, radiation was established to be the MetaOrigin for other superhumans of the Marvel Universe:
** In the very first issue, Xavier explains to Jean Grey his parents worked in the A-Bomb, and the radiation may have caused his mutation. He then states he believes himself to be "the first mutant".
** Beast's backstory in issues #49-53 establishes that his father worked in a nuclear power plant, and, one day, was bombarded with radioactivity. He survived, but his doctor suggested that his genetic material was altered by the event. Thus, "[[TitleDrop a Beast is Born]]".
** In issue #64, Beast surmises that Japanese Sunfire is a mutant himself, since his mother was present at the Hiroshima bombings, and that must have affected her, thus explaining his solar radiation powers.

** In the next issue, the original five X-Men seek the help of Dr. Banner and find a device that can restore Xavier's mental state. The Professor is saved, everyone smiles, and an ending caption narrates that "[[AndTheAdventureContinues and they fought]] happily [[TheEndOrIsIT ever after...??]]"

* SeriesFauxnale: Issues #65 and #66 serve as one to the original incarnation of the team: ** Professor Xavier is revealed to have survived his "death" from issue #42, and trains the X-Men to withstand a Z'Nox invasion. During the climax of the issue, Xavier uses his powers to connect with every human mind on the planet and redirects the connection to Marvel Girl, who links with Havok, who uses his powers to energize Cyclops, while Iceman cools them off from the heat the energy provides. The invasion is averted, but the strain of such a display of his powers weakens Xavier.

* OddReactionOut: #500: A human art collector named Guy [=DeMondue=] organizes an art exhibit with mutant-hunting sentinels. The X-Men are informed of this and react ''badly'' to it: Beast and Angel (two of the original X-Men) remark on their lethality to mutants, while Emma Frost says it is in bad taste, for a ''completely'' different reason, and Wolverine doesn't offer a specific dislike:
-->'''Angel:''' Sadie, come on! Twenty-foot-tall '''death machines--'''
-->'''Beast:''' Genocidal robots no more artful than an A-Bomb--
-->'''Emma Frost:''' Banal, predictable "shock schlock" that was passé in New York ten years ago--\\
'''Wolverine:''' Hell with this.
