Will that matter? (I'm not trying to be argumentative LOL). Especially if they try and do a love triangle between Spidy and MJ or Iceman... I'm not 100% sure but I think they dated (maybe in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends?) but not sure where/when.  I heard it in MCUCosmic I think.

Nah! Who gives a monkey's tuss about Firestar?

Also to add to the confusion, the storyline for Firestar Limited Series #1 published in March 1986 (a year after X-Men 193) takes place before events of X-Men 193.

Agreed. There are very few (if any) instances where IN CONTINUITY is worth more. BA12 vs Harley Quinn, Batman Beyond 1 vs Superman/Batman Annual 4, etc

True. But the first in continuity and the first issue of her own title will likely get a bump on any news; not as much as the first appearance, certainly, but they're still keys for that character.

They are concerned about their prostate and ed. Firestar isn't even on their radar. 

I don't know anyone my age who's concerned about their prostate. I don't know what 'ed' is, so perhaps that's a concern for my generation. I can assure you though that Firestar is popular for us thanks to the Saturday morning cartoon. That 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends #1' issue hasn't been cheap for many years, at least not the high grade copies. I will say though that it's always irked me that UX193 doesn't get more recognition for being Firestar's first in-continuity appearance. Even CGC ignores that little fact on the label. But Firestar's in-continuity appearance was the main selling point of that issue when it first came out.

nobody cares until a hollywood exec does

That's simply untrue. It's certainly more pronounced these days with the insta-hype internet machine. But there are popular issues / characters that Hollywood hasn't touched. Firestar has her fan base.

X-Men 193 was more significant to me for being the first appearance of Warpath / Thunderbird 2 in costume.
