X Men

Since their debut in 1963, Marvel’s X-Men have been more than just another superhero team. While the team broke out in 1975 as the All New, All Different X-Men, Marvel’s heroic mutants have always acted as super-outcasts, protecting a world that hates and fears them for their powers.

The main members of the X-Men include Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Iceman, Beast, Rogue and Storm. Often referred to as the second strongest superheroes in the world after the Avengers, they are still one of Marvel’s most popular and important franchises.
