Until 2011, Uncanny X-Men remained Marvel Comics' only Silver Age title to retain its consecutive issue numbering since its conception, even during the early 1970s reprint hiatus. The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Fantastic Four and other legacy titles have all, at one time or another, restarted their numbering at #1, though later all returned to their original numbering. The final issue to be published under the original numbering was #544, published in October 2011, which was followed by a new #1 in November.
From issue #1 through #93 the indicia title was The X-Men. After the relaunch with issue #94, and up to #141, the article The was dropped from the indicia title, making it X-Men. Beginning with issue #142, and up to #407, the article was re-added along with the adjective "Uncanny" to change the indicia title to The Uncanny X-Men. Issue #408 was the first to use the indicia title Uncanny X-Men.
A separate series, titled simply X-Men, launched with an October 1991 cover date. From that point, fans and historians began to designate pre-1991 issues as The X-Men or, more commonly, The Uncanny X-Men.

Famous quotes containing the word title:
“He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third.”
—Thomas Paine (17371809)
“In Goyas greatest scenes we seem to see
the people of the world
exactly at the moment when
they first attained the title of
suffering humanity”
—Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
