Actually, Marvel Team-Up #100 occurred in December 1980. Wow, and was also the first appearance of Father Bowen, Dagger's uncle.

Aha! *Twirls mustache* I'd definitely noted the availability of Mystique and have formulated plans - although it was only a couple of days ago that I realised why issues #24 and #25 of volume one of Ms. Marvel were so screwy in terms of art and timeline. Apparently these issues were written and sketched out back in 1979 but never published because the series was cancelled, so officially issue #23 was the final one and the Mystique storyline was never resolved. However, the 'lost' issues were then published in an anthology book in the early 90s, and my digital copies were simply filed under Ms.Marvel V1. Given that issue #25 has Destiny and Binary in it, you can see why my brain was fried trying to make sense of it all...
I'm starting to like the idea of seeing you take on the Phoenix saga from halfway through. You could go absolutely anywhere with it, and then even introduce your own take on the Hellfire Club if you saw fit. It would certainly be one of those situations where the reader would have no idea what was coming, and you could make Jean darker than she's ever been.
Steve, you realise you're going to end up doing this, right? Might as well not fight it.

Argh, but I realize that *if* I was to do this, I couldn't use Mystique because at that point in time her focus is on Ms. Marvel who is an Avenger. And you have to count issues 24 and 25 because Destiny has to exist. This is a person that has visions of the future! Nobody cares about that now, when they're a dime a dozen, but imagine the possibilities in 1980! How would Ms. Marvel or Iron Man approach such a unique, never-before-seen power?

For anyone who's interested in the Avengers 1980 series, Dave has kindly uploaded the Gatefold Page for me (thanks Dave!) in advance of issue #1.
Gatefold
It'll get you up to speed on the important events that have happened in 'recent' issues of certain titles, and where the characters stand at this particular moment in Marvel history.
