THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION

CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

The X-Men are a superhero team created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in 1963. They are mutants, humans born with superhuman abilities, facing prejudice and fighting against various enemies. The team was initially canceled due to low sales but revived in 1975. The Claremont era (1975-1991) saw the team become Marvel's top-selling comic. Key storylines include the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past". The X-Men have had many team rosters, and faced several schisms, deaths, and resurrections. In 2019, the Krakoan Age saw mutants form their own nation on the island of Krakoa, until the fall of Krakoa led to the X-Men scattering across the planet.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The X-Men were created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, and they first appeared in The X-Men #1 in September 1963. The team was initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales but became one of Marvel's most successful franchises after its 1975 revival.

Mutants in the Marvel Universe are humans born with a genetic trait called the X-gene, which grants them natural superhuman abilities that generally manifest during puberty. Due to their differences, mutants face prejudice and discrimination, which is a common theme in many X-Men stories.

Stan Lee decided that the new group of heroes would be "mutants" because he had grown weary of creating separate origins for each superhero. Marvel publisher Martin Goodman initially turned down the name "The Mutants" because he thought readers wouldn't know what a "mutant" was.
