What "prize" did Marvel Comics start sending to fans who reported mistakes in the X-Men comic, starting in 1964?
That was one magic bullet.

Answer: The "No-Prize"
The award -- an empty envelope that congratulates its recipient for "winning" the "No-Prize" -- was created by Stan Lee in 1964 as a tongue-in-cheek response to the error-finding rewards offered by other comics publishers.
Many winners failed to get the joke, complaining to Marvel that their prize must have fallen out of their envelope in transit.

Of Jean Grey, Storm, Mystique, Jubilee and Rogue: Which of the five has Wolverine never shown romantic interest in?
Logan sure does get around.
(Image: 20th Century Fox)
Answer: Jubilee
Wolverine has feelings for Jean Grey (despite her relationship with Cyclops); he was Storm's post-Panther rebound; Mystique and Logan were lovers in the early 20th century and in the House of M story line; and he reveals feelings for Rogue -- whom he then kisses -- while under the influence of a space creature.
Wolverine and Jubilee, meanwhile, have more of a father-daughter-type relationship.

In the X-Men comic, whom did Cyclops marry after Jean Grey "died"?

Answer: Madelyne Pryor
Scott Summers fell for her because of her resemblance to Jean Grey. Which should be expected -- Maddie is her clone.
As you can probably guess from this cover, the marriage, uh ... it didn't work out.
