“The X-Sanction!” (17 pages), written by Chris Claremont with art by Tony DeZuniga — The X-Men find themselves in Calgary facing off against Weapon Alpha, a mysterious armored figure working for the Canadian government who's been tasked with bringing them in. While Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler handle the physical confrontation, Phoenix wrestles with the increasingly dangerous cosmic forces building inside her mind. The battle showcases early concepts that would later evolve into Alpha Flight, with Weapon Alpha serving as the prototype for what would become one of Marvel's most enduring Canadian superhero teams. DeZuniga delivers solid storytelling throughout, handling both pencils and inks with his characteristic attention to detail.
The first appearance of Weapon Alpha makes this a key issue for Alpha Flight collectors, as the character later becomes Guardian and leads Canada's premier superhero team through decades of stories.
