I'm beginning to suspect X-Men #141 has the most recreations of any comic cover. This is one of those posts that will forever get updates! Let me know if you learn of any others in the comments section and I will add 'em!
Cover of The Uncanny X-Men 141 (Jan, 1981). Art by John Byrne and Terry Austin.

I think this one counts...
Dork Note: I have always wondered how John Byrne came up with the idea. Now I don't have any insight beyond speculation. However, seeing the splash page from Iron Fist #10 done by John Byrne in 1979 the root of his idea is apparent.
Rob's Room Note: I also found this What If? cover from 1978...
Ferran Delgado said on-line, "Just a reminder that Byrne drew the iconic X-Men #141 cover from a layout by Hannigan (Byrne admitted it). Hannigan told me that editor Salicrup asked him to use as reference the Wings cover. Jim Salicrup was the editor of X-Men till he resigned when the end of #137 was changed. This is another evidence that "Days of Future Past" was pitched as a Graphic Novel before #137. Other evidence supports this, including Byrne's comments in an interview conducted when the new ending of #137 was drawn or the silly ad laid out by Salicrup.
