"Rogue: The Savage Land" to Take Place During 1981's "Uncanny X-Men" Run
Tumblr media
In 1981 Rogue took a trip to the Savage Land and started a relationship with Magento in Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's Uncanny X-Men #269-#274. Now, in Tim Seeley and Zulema Lavina's Rogue: The Savage Land, we can get the whole story of that chapter of Rogue's life.
"The X-Man called Rogue has always been a survivor, but without her mutant powers she’ll need to prove it like never before! As the Savage Land turns towards war, Rogue will need all her skills to survive dinosaurs, mutates, and the Master of Magnetism himself!" (Marvel Comics)
Rogue: The Savage Land #1 (of 5) goes on sale on January 15, 2025. The debut issue features a main cover by Kaare Andrews and variant covers by Russell Dauterman and Nick Bradshaw.

Marvel Decades Fanfic -1984
The Set-up
200 million years ago the alien race the Nuwali created the Savage Lands in Antarctica as one of several planetary “game preserves” for the mysterious godlike Beyonders. The Nuwali stocked the land with earthly life of the era, most notably dinosaurs; as Earth’s flora and fauna changed over succeeding millions of years. When the dinosaurs went extinct over 65 million years ago, the only survivors were the ones living in this protected area at the bottom of the globe.
In 18,500 BC the Savage Lands were colonized by humans of Atlantis, who exported prehistoric life throughout their empire while importing Unicorns and other mystic creatures. Atlantean scientists extended the tropical effect, creating a recreation/commerce center called “Pangea”, then genetically altered man-apes into humanoid versions of birds, monkeys, fish, and other animals. The Beast-Men were put to work as laborers. The Beast-Men however became dissatisfied with servitude and Pangea’s automation, rebelled in the 1st Pangean War and were allowed to colonize unpopulated areas rendered habitable by the Nuwali Tropical Effect.
In the Mid-19th century, The Atlanteans - That is the underwater race of mutants whose culture was appropriated from Atlantis’ remains - relocated to Antarctica, as did Lemurian rebels called The Ancients. Mysterious beings such as Torg and The Ice King also made their home in the region. Vague reports of underground realms and surviving dinosaurs appeared in the works of such authors as Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Jules Verne, suggesting rumors of the lands were spreading. By 1915, human expeditions had discovered a rare type of destructive Vibranium called “Anti-Metal”, the destructive metal also called Vibranium, in the Savage Land, but the greater deposits within the lands remained unknown. During WWII, Hitler claimed sovereignty over Antarctica and several entire battalions of his men were lost to the realm on expeditions. Meanwhile, spatial warps similar to that of the Bermuda Triangle, occasionally brought ships and planes into the lands, where survivors joined the populace. In more recent history, the British nobleman Robert Plunder, searching for Vibranium, found his way into the Savage Lands. Back in England, Plunder was threatened by those who coveted his secret, and he returned to the lands with his nine-year-old son Kevin, who was orphaned when Robert was slain by the Man-Ape, Maa-Gor. Nurtured by the Sabertooth Tiger Zabu, Kevin enhanced by the lands mysterious “Place of Mists” became known as Ka-Zar, or “Brother of the Tiger”, his uncanny skills ans heroism won him respect throughout the land while still in his teens. Ka-Zar was photographed while exploring the northern limits, provoking investigation by the mutant X-Men, whom he befriended. When the X-Men’s nemesis, Magneto, took the land as his base and transformed simple swamp men into his Savage Land Mutates, Ka-Zar helped the X-Men defeat their old foe, and then fought alongside Garokk against the renegade priestess Zaladane. The land, so long once a source of rumor, became worldwide news when thr Daily Bugle ran a featufe on it, an endeavour that brought the heroic Spider-Man to the lands, where he aided Ka-Zar against another would-be dictator, Kraven The Hunter. Soon afterwards, Ka-Zar provided SHIELD scientists with dinosaur samples which were misuses by a reaearcher who, with the aid of the cryptic They Who Wield Power, transformed himself into Stegron, The Dinosaur-Man. Although the United Nations banned commercial exploitation of the Savage Lands, the Daily Bugle’s exposure brought explorers and treasure hunters to Ka-Zar’s door. Ka-Zar, now in Shanna The She-Devil’s company, explored Pangea and helped establish peace between its many races. The Savage Lands were eventually declared a sovereign kingdom, and although menaced by myriad would-be conquerors –including Apocalypse, a Super-Skrull, Prime Evil, The Warlord, Sauron, Mister Sinister, The High Evolutionary, and AIM– hit's security was repeatedly restored by Ka-Zar, the X-Men, and other heroes.
-
Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher, had discovered Vibranium-B or SLV developed into highly destructive weaponry in use in the streets of New York by gangsters and had questioned the culprits of their arsenal's origins. Tracking the supply chain back to Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), The Punisher was then manipulated into traveling to a remote region of Antarctica to seek out and shut down manufacturing operations and prevent any further lethal misuse of the anti-metal.
-
The notorious and infamous mutant mercenary with a mouth, DeadPool, and lady luck herself, Domino, had been summoned by the executive branches of both Roxxon Oil & Energy as well as A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) to discuss employment. The corporations sought experts and professionals with talents such as theirs to shut down any preestablished Vibranium-B mines and claim any mineral rich sites on behalf of the companies.
-
Members of a secret society, whispered in conspiracy theories to be known as 'The Illuminati', convened over a shared and vested interest in the discovery of the precious mineral as scientists and to prevent the Vibranium-B from falling into the wrong hands. T'Challa the king and Black Panther of Wakanda, Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) of The Fantastic Four, and Henry 'Hank' McCoy (Beast) of the X-Men had voted to intervene in the unfolding affairs.

Rick Riordan never mentions Hyperborea, the apparent paradise above the north winds. Although considering the wikipedia page on Hyperborea mentioned it's modern ties to ultra nationalist views… maybe it's for the best?
But now I'm wondering… did Hyperborea inspire Marvel's Savage Land? A temperate paradise hidden beyond freezing cold winds and icy snow. It sure seems like Hyperborea may have inspired all the later stories of hidden lands under the ice. So boreas can brag about having that to his name.

THE BIG REVEAL IN A THREE-PART STORY ARC -- WELCOME TO THE SAVAGE LAND, KIDS.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 770x1215 -- Spotlight on the concluding page, and the big reveal as to who the big bad was in this issue, none other than #Sauron, of course, from "WOLVERINE" Vol. 2 #69. May, 1993. Marvel Comics.
Anyway, I guess the head honchos over at Marvel decided to give ol' "beak face" an update for the '90s, hence the armored claws, feet, and "crown" he's donning here, but, personally, he remains a character who truly needs none of these trappings to make a point, and the torn pants and/or "jungle loin cloth" both work just as well for. Still remains a killer reveal, though, all in all.
