Cyclops makes the numbered-plans joke in Uncanny X-Men #541 (2011), during Fear Itself. The team is trying to stop Kuurth, the magically empowered Juggernaut, from reaching San Francisco. After an attempted solution fails, Mayor Sadie Sinclair asks about a Plan B. Cyclops' answer explains that his contingencies do not stop with the alphabet.
