| Notes | Although the team members of The Champions work together for the first time, they won't form a team until issue #5.
The Angel decides to make his identity public in this issue.
The Angel is outfitted with a new yellow and orange outfit. The primary reason for this is that writer Tony Isabella felt the previous dark blue outfit the Angel wore in X-Men #66 was too blue. Since the Black Widow and Ghost Rider also wore dark blue outfits, the writer felt there would be too much dark blue color in the new title.
The Hercules image from this cover is later used for marketing, particularly for the Champions 1977 Slurpee Cups. |
