The X-Men are a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, the team first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). Although initially canceled in 1970 due to low sales, following its 1975 revival and subsequent direction under writer Chris Claremont, it became one of Marvel's most recognizable and successful franchises. They have appeared in numerous books, television shows, 20th Century Fox's X-Men films, and video games. The X-Men title may refer to the superhero team itself, the eponymous comic series, or the broader franchise including various solo titles and team books such as the New Mutants, Excalibur, and X-Force.

In the Marvel Universe, mutants are humans who are born with a genetic trait called the X-gene which grants them natural superhuman abilities, generally manifesting during puberty. Due to their differences from the majority of humanity, mutants are subject to prejudice and discrimination; many X-Men stories feature social commentary on bigotry, justice, and other political themes. The X-Men have fought against a variety of enemies, including villainous mutants, human bigots, supervillains, mystical threats, extraterrestrials, and malevolent artificial intelligence. In most iterations of the team, they are led by their founder Charles "Professor X" Xavier, a powerful telepath who runs a school for mutant children out of his mansion in Westchester, New York, which secretly is also the headquarters of the X-Men. Their stories have frequently involved Magneto, a powerful mutant with control over magnetic fields, who is depicted as an old friend of and foil to Xavier, variously acting as an adversary or as an ally.

Early X-Men issues introduced the original team composed of Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, and Iceman, along with their archenemy Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants featuring Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad. The comic focused on a common human theme of good versus evil and later included storylines and themes about prejudice and racism, all of which have persisted throughout the series in one form or another. The evil side in the fight was shown in human form and under some sympathetic beginnings via Magneto, a character who was later revealed to have survived Nazi concentration camps only to pursue a hatred for normal humanity. His key followers, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, were Romani. Only one new member of the X-Men was added, Mimic/Calvin Rankin, but soon left due to his temporary loss of power.

The title lagged in sales behind Marvel's other comic franchises. In 1969, writer Roy Thomas and illustrator Neal Adams rejuvenated the comic book and gave regular roles to two recently introduced characters: Alex "Havok" Summers (Cyclops' brother, who had been introduced by Roy Thomas before Adams began work on the comic) and Lorna Dane, later called Polaris (created by Arnold Drake and Jim Steranko). However, these later X-Men issues failed to attract sales and Marvel stopped producing new stories with issue #66 (March 1970), later reprinting a number of the older comics as issues #67–93.

Do you think X-Men'97 Is better than the X-Men Films??

[phantomsoldier]

I think it hurt more that he didn't know that 97 was out more than it being better than the live action films honestly

[regidon]

most these celebs dont watch this sort of shows anyway u can tell he's tryin to come up with an excuse or answer as he hasn't even seen it lol

[saimcheeda]

He clearly had no idea what X-Men 97 even is

[endorbr]

Pretty easy to not be bothered by it when he clearly has no idea what it is

[ivancerecer]

I mean, i imagine it really wouldn't bother him, since 90's X-Men is the main reason the movies got made and why people cared

[Fiddyyen]

X1 X2, Logan, , and days of future past were my favorite.

[BossFinale]

he had no idea what Ryan was talking about

[atx-insider]

It's not his fault. He's a great actor, the Fox/Marvel movies never stuck to the comics.

[coolerjr]

There's only reason the first chill of X men aren't as well like as they could be is because fox decided not to use the actual X men's costumes. And it took deadpool and Wolverine. Actually get my boy Hugh Jackman in the yellow and blue.

[perfectpiano]

I don't think he knows what that is

[J___]

Ryan with the glasses looking over to Lou is so funny😂

[davidkglevi]

X-MEN -97 might be the best MARVEL thing EVER on any screen, so it's hard to compete with.

[Raphaeljames]

You can tell he has no idea what that even is 😂

[RealMilester]

An actual serious crime mystery movie with Ryan Reynolds as the detective, and he would play serious like with not many jokes, would be cool, many movie concepts with Ryan playing a character he doesn't usually play would be dope

[Tiago_SD]

I dont think both of them either see it

[BaronVonCarrot]

How can something bother him that he's never seen

[technician]

I mean to be fair… a lot of the animated movies and shows have always just been better than any live action films. Marvel or DC it doesn’t really matter. Animations allow for more room to expand, do crazy and weird things that are more comic adjacent, it’s easy to cast a bucket load of characters.

[joshuahendricks]

Whoever did the editing for the siren noises did a great job. Had to pause to make sure it was fake.

[redhood]

I don't know why people think actors know every little detail about a franchise they took part in.
