When Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum brought the Shi’Ar into the pages of the X-Men (subplot as of Uncanny X-Men #98, full storyline #105, 107-108), it was more than another alien race that had been added to the Marvel Universe. This storyline marks the first time that the X-Men left earth’s orbit to battle villains on the other side of the galaxy. Also with princess Lilandra, there was the first love interest for Professor Xavier, apparently in the 60ies Marvel did not dare to have a cripple loved by an attractive woman. Granted he had earlier relationships with Moira MacTaggert, Gabrielle Haller and Amelia Voght, but all of them were only revealed later in flashbacks. The Shi’Ar princess was the first and longest romantic relationship that Xavier has been seen with on-panel. Lastly the Starjammers, a band of interstellar pirates, were established and their leader turned out to be nobody else than the long lost father of Cyclops. Finally the heritage of the last original X-Men was revealed and over time, more and more members of the Summers family would be revealed and created, to the point that readers now need to study genetics to sort out who is related to whom and in which way.
