yASSsss 35,510 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The X-Men are a fictional team of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the characters first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). They are among the most recognizable and successful intellectual properties of Marvel Comics, appearing in numerous books, television shows, films, and video games. The X-Men are mutants, a subspecies of humans who are born with superhuman abilities. The X-Men fight for peace and equality between normal humans and mutants in a world where antimutant bigotry is fierce and widespread.They are led by Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, a powerful mutant telepath who can control and read minds. The conflict between mutants and normal humans is often compared to real-world conflicts experienced by minority groups in America such as African Americans, Jews, various religious (or "non-religious") groups, Communists, the LGBT community, etc.In Ann Nocenti's words-"The X-Men has always represented something different - their powers arrive at puberty, making them analogous to the changes you go through at adolescence - whether they're special, or out of control, or setting you apart - the misfit identity theme. Professor-X: The founder of the X-Men, he himself is an exceptionally powerful telepath who can read and control minds of others. While running a private school in upstate New York in order to both shelter and train mutants from around the globe, Xavier also fights to serve the greater good.Xavier is perhaps best known in this regard for the creation of a device called Cerebro, a technology that serves to detect and track those individuals possessing the mutant gene, at the same time greatly expanding the gifts of those with existing psionic abilities. The Founding Members of The X-Men: Spoiler Cyclops Typically considered the first of the X-Men,Cyclops is one of the team's primary leaders. He can emit powerful beams of energy from his eyes. He cannot control the beams without the aid of special eyewear which he must wear at all times. Fun Fact-One of Marvel's most prominent characters, Cyclops was rated #1 on IGN.com's list of Top 25 X-Men from the past forty years in 2006,and the 39th in their 2011 list of Top 100 Comic Book Heroes. Marvel Girl(Jean Grey) Born with telepathic and telekinetic powers Jean Grey is a caring, nurturing figure,but she also has to deal with being an Omega-level mutant and the physical manifestation of the cosmic Phoenix Force.She has faced death numerous times in the history of the series. Fun Fact #1: Cyclops and Jean Grey has a son called Cable who is actually older than his parents.Cable is known for being the first leader of X-Force,An offshoot of the X-Men, X-Force takes a more militant and aggressive approach towards its enemies compared to the X-Men. Fun Fact #2 : In an attempt to save her fellow X-Men,Jean was exposed to fatal levels of radiation.Dying but determined to save her friends,Jean's love pushed her to reach her full potential as a psychic and telekinetic causing her to transform into Phoenix.The Dark Phoenix storyline is one of the most well-known and heavily referenced in mainstream American superhero comics, and is widely considered a classic, including Jean Grey's suicidal sacrifice. Beast Originally called "The Beast",Beast possesses ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility, oversize hands and feet, and a genius-level intellect.Despite Beast's inhuman appearance, he is depicted as a brilliant, well-educated man in the arts and sciences, known for his witty sense of humor. Fun Fact: Beast has also been a member of the Avengers and Defenders. Angel A heir to a multibillion-dollar corporation,Angel possesses a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back, enabling him to fly.His privileged background results in Angel being stereotyped as a self-absorbed playboy during his early years with the X-Men. Fun Fact: An Ancient Mutant Apocalypse is responsible for Angel's transformation into Archangel.He subjected Angel to extensive genetic alterations, giving him blue skin and organic metal wings which can cut through almost anything. Iceman Iceman has the ability to manipulate ice and cold by freezing water vapor around him.This allows him to freeze objects, as well as turn his body into ice Fun Fact: In All-New X-Men series Iceman is revealed to be gay.He repressed that one part of his life for years in order to avoid persecution; as time passed, he developed the practice of acting as if he was straight.With the help of Jean Grey,he finally comes to terms with his own sexuality Core Members Of The X-Men Spoiler Angel Beast Colossus Cyclops Emma Frost Gambit Iceman Jean Grey Jubilee Kitty Pryde Magik Nightcrawler Northstar Psylocke Rogue Storm Wolverine Wolverine(X-23) All the X-Men enthusiasts are welcomed in this thread.You can discuss anything about the X-Men universe here,be it the comics,your favorite characters,movies or TV shows P.S.
