Issue: The Uncanny X-Men
Vol.1 #172Publishing Date: August 1983
Highlights: Rogue intends to prove herself to the X-Men by helping Wolverine.
Synopsis: The X-Men travel to Japan for Wolverine’s wedding. His fiancée, Mariko, has inherited her family’s business, which is deeply tied to the crime lords of Japan. While one local tries to watch over Wolverine and Mariko, another sets out to destroy them. Viper poses as a maid while Mariko is out and poisons the X-Men’s tea, leaving them incapable of helping Mariko. Storm doesn’t drink the poison and goes to save Mariko from Mariko’s half-brother, The Silver Samurai. While the other X-Men recover from the poison and Storm recovers from her wounds, Wolverine and Rogue set off to set things right and get rid of the Silver Samurai.
Extra Info: Rogue says she is part alien (due to Ms. Marvel’s psyche), so poison doesn’t work as well on her as it would on regular people.
