The issue was published on 1 April 1983 as part of Obnoxio The Clown vs. X Men, with Obnoxio the Clown providing the clearest point of entry. Its premise connects X Men with questions of identity and responsibility. That combination gives the opening a purpose beyond simply announcing another adventure.
