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.

It’s crazy to think that if Ryan didn’t do X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that we wouldn’t have gotten him as Deadpool. Would you have preferred someone else to play the character?

[Hollowstep]

Thank god Deadpool retconned that version.

[Nenernener]

Gotta love Ryan’s “What? What am I supposed to do with that?” was the perfect DP fast voice!

[soggy]

“It’ll work, watch” 😂😂😂😂 wonder what the guy who said that is thinking now 😂

[JjDodo-numb]

In case anyone was wondering. Mr Game of thrones wrote that script. So… yeah.

[alexcavalli]

Blade Trinity: honed his skills with a blade and toned his physic. Snipes reprising his iconic role in Deadpool & Wolverine is thanks to Renolds. 😎🎥

The more we get to know of studio execs, the more we see that the Pitch Meeting videos are spot on satire.

[bgfarm]

This is the kind of person the studios need to be looking for when casting superhero movies. Him being a big name doesn’t matter, him loving the character n wanting to see an accurate portrayal is what matters

[timmothyrotenberry]

I still dont accept experiment X as deadpool... that guy was just a wrong world wade wilson

[imranmat]

This movie crippled so that Deadpool could fly

[ChiefBarnesArt]

That wasn’t Deadpool(idc what its official name is called). That was weapon 11. I repeat that wasnt Deadpool.

[BigBoii]

When I saw that movie, I thought that was an accurate Deadpool… because it was an accurate Wolverine and I knew nothing of Deadpool… I thought it was freaking awesome! But the laser eyes were a bit too much…

Funny story about on a sad note to start at the time my mother had just passed away. ...and family from ou of town obviously had come by, how was full of friends and family..i was in pretty rough shape and rightfully so hadnt smilr or laughed in a while.
My cousins who were over visiting for the week had brough an EARLY release of Wolverine X-Men Origins...and it was such an early release that the CHI elements hadnt been added yet.. so lol MANY MANY of times throughout the film whenever there was supposed to be major CHI moments it was just showing block shapes and green and grey colors for instnce when the air ship was flying a one point it was just a triangle floating lmao and it had me DYING laughing lol. And it broughtme out of my funk. So as much as the movie was god awful i have this random connection with it lol.

I will never understand how execs (not all) don't understand the character(s) they are working with and/or the fanbase that made the character(s) so popular in the first place. Example, Bane from Batman & Robin.

[bioactivzomb]

I mean the laser eyes and teleportation was on point and fire 🔥

[mauriceharris]

Let's leave out fly for realism!? YOU KIDDING

[artofsam]

We should’ve seen this version of deadpool in the recent movie “Hey everyone look I don’t have my mouth shut anymore!” Then all the other variants start killing him relentlessly.

[thGenNewton]

You guys realize that one of the writers that he’s talking about is David Benioff, right? One of the guys who famously tanked Game of Thrones after the source material ran out.. He was partially responsible for THIS mess too..

[huntermayes]

It single-handedly destroyed the X-men origins series before it even got off the ground.

Deadpools great more Deadpool Ryan is brilliant keep going it's a great franchise will be upset if there's no more 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, you get the idea.
