X-Men #143 1981

1st appearance of Lee Forrester (Aleytys Forrester)
Trivia
This issue's story is a homage to the movie Alien, this is particularly noticeable in how Kitty Pryde kills the N'Garai demon, which mirrors the way in which Alien protagonist Ellen Ripley incinerates the Xenomorph using the engines of the space shuttle she's boarding. Byrne has recalled that "We wanted to do an homage to the movie Alien, and I don't know whether I was demented or what in those days, but I honestly thought when I was drawing it that people wouldn't instantly realize where we got it from. I thought I was being really clever, how I was making little twists and turns to change it. Only the ending where she used the Blackbird (jet) to blast the N'Garai to death was the same. And then Chris kind of wrote [the script] even more like the movie. By the time I actually read it, it was like, 'Oh, well, wait till the lawsuits come...' But they never did."

X-Men #147 1981

Notes
Kitty is not present for this mission because she is sick with the flu. See Uncanny X-Men #145.
Nightcrawler refers to Angel's adventure with the Thing seen in Marvel Two-In-One #68.
Trivia
Continuity Error: Nightcrawler describes the season as 'middle of winter', yet Uncanny X-Men #143 happened on December 24, and 'many months' had passed according to Uncanny X-Men #144, making this timing impossible. Further, despite being high in the Appalachians in upstate New York, there is no snow to be seen anywhere! Finally, while the monstrous storm outside is Storm's doing, and she could plausibly make rain in mid-winter in one of the snowiest regions of the US, she isn't consciously controlling it and thus one would certainly expect it to be snow.
The Doctor Doom in this story is later confirmed to be a Doombot
