Havok is in my top five favorite X-Men of all time and I can’t quite figure out why. Cyclops’s brother, Alex gained more focused powers, able to radiate force blasts from his chest outwards. He got a great costume and joined the X-Men. Like I previously mentioned, he and Polaris operated as a sort of package deal on various X-Men and X-Factor teams, usually with Havok leading. I just love that Havok is stuck in the shadow of Cyclops. The world’s most stick in the mud adult. And Havok has to be just as much of a stick in the mud sometimes. But he gets to do interesting stuff too!
One time he got lost in another dimension full of evil versions of the X-Men and he had to pretend to also be evil. Oh and also he lead an Avengers team. Yeah, Captain America chose him to be the guy in charge of the Avengers Unity Squad, a team designed to bring together mutants and humans. And he did a great job… until he turned evil. But he’s fine now. And is leading an X-Men team again!

And there you have it, every member of the X-Men added in the 1960s. Next time, we’ll power through a retcon and cover the classic beloved Uncanny team. Wolverine fans, you’re coming up soon.
