It was in Amazing Adventures # 11. I have that issue, which is shocking, because I'm poor and I never spend very much for any single book. Somehow I managed to find that one for a quarter. It had the original price crossed out with a black marker, which is why I assume it had no value. But it was a great deal because the cover art and the interior pages are all in good shape. I'm horribly shocked that Kitty ranked so low. Despite what Ian said, it wasn't just the Ultimate version-- Hank McCoy did turn furry after drinking a formula of his own invention.

I'm glad to see them all do so well, especially Madrox and Kitty, but it never ceases to amaze me how popular Beast is. I like 'im, but he's waaayyy down the list of X-characters for me. I'm expecting it's a real longshot that Wolfsbane and Rictor are going to make it now. I was hoping they'd make some lists next to Madrox. Most of the rest of mine are going to make the top 50, I think. I'm probably the only person who voted for MJ and edged Spidey off the list, so that's not too bad. Hawkeye and Wolverine still remain.

If I didn't happen to get the solo Madrox TPB that Peter David did really cheap on eBay I'd never have even heard of the character. That said it's an excellent TPB so I'm happy to see Madrox here.

Last Summer the X-Boards did a big top 50 X-Men similar to this and the top five went (from number one to five): Nightcrawler, Rogue, Shadowcat, Jean Grey and Cyclops.
