How many times has Jean Grey died? Is she dead now? Where did Rachel Summers come from? Onslaught? When is my local comic book store going to finally divide the new comics racks into "Indie," "DC," "Marvel," and "Books that feature Wolverine?" It's some dense,frustrating, sometimes silly stuff, to say the least. The team has a long, sprawling, and confusing history that's on the level of DC's Multiverse (and that's company wide!).

Mutants were not born out of the fears of the atomic era, they were just born and born different.

This was a bit before the 90's animated show came out, so to know the X-Men, who they were and what they're about, it was like being in a secret club. Who doesn't love the X-Men on some level? When I was in the third grade, I don't think there was anything that seemed cooler to me than the X-Men.
