Warning: Spoilers for Uncanny X-Men #8The X-Men have just proven their biggest difference from the Avengers, settling any doubt as to what makes the two teams similar. While they’re both among the premier superhero teams of the Marvel Universe, Cyclops spells out the team’s greatest difference from their contemporaries, which goes a long way in explaining some of the darker actions the team has taken throughout their history.

Uncanny X-Men #8 by Gail Simone and Javier Garrón concludes the Raid on Graymalkin crossover, as both teams of X-Men battle to break free from the control of the powerful telepath Scurvy and rescue their captive teammates. When the X-Men are confronted by Warden Ellis and her guards, Cyclops remarks “..You have two teams of X-Men facing you now. And we’re not as nice as the Avengers.”

This statement spells out the ultimate difference between the X-Men and the Avengers in the Marvel Universe,...

Last week, a new rumour claimed to reveal what Marvel Studios has planned for its next wave of storytelling: the "Mutant Saga." You can read more about that here, but the big news is it supposedly ending with an Avengers vs. X-Men movie.

We have no idea what Earth's Mightiest Heroes will look like in a post-Avengers: Secret Wars MCU but the X-Men will be rebooted. That gives Marvel Studios three Phases to establish that team before they go to war with the iconic superhero team.

The Avengers vs. X-Men comic is full of memorable moments but like Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and even Secret Invasion, we anticipate only certain moments or ideas being adapted to the big screen. It's those we're taking a closer look at here as we explore how they could help shape this epic big screen clash.

To check them out, you just...

A brutal clash between Captain Marvel and Cyclops is kicking off a new war between the Avengers and X-Men, as the team leaders stop holding back. 2012's Avengers vs X-Men famously pitted Marvel's most powerful teams against each other, as Captain America and Cyclops fought over the future of new mutant Hope Summers. This time, the throwdown feels even more personal.

In a preview of Jed MacKay, Valerio Schiti, Federico Blee and Cory Petit's The Avengers #21, Earth's Mightiest Heroes march on the X-Men's Alaskan base. Captain Marvel leads the charge, calling out Scott Summers' Cyclops.

While the cover makes it clear that Cyclops vs Captain Marvel is the title bout, the issue's summary also teases Magneto vs Scarlet Witch, as well as forcing new Avengers recruit Storm to pick a side. The summary reads:

Throughout its 61-year history, the X-Men franchise has never had a villain more iconic than Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. Visually distinct, immensely powerful, and possessing Shakespearean intensity, Magneto has battled against the X-Men and alongside them. However, over sixty years, he's also enjoyed many different costumes and redesigns.

Here are the 13 wildest redesigns Magneto has received in Marvel Comics. We've looked far and wide for the biggest changes to Magneto's design, showing the many different ways the ultimate mutant warrior has greeted a world that hates and fears him.

The X-Men vs. the Avengers is probably en route in the MCU, and Marvel Studios has just taken the first step toward it with the release of the What If...? season 3 trailer. Now that the X-Men have returned to Marvel's ownership after Disney acquired Fox in 2019, the iconic X-Men have started to appear in multiple MCU projects. This most recently culminated in Deadpool & Wolverine, where the titular heroes encountered various X-Men variants from Fox's X-Men franchise.

So far, this is the only X-Men-focused movie the MCU has produced, and no more are upcoming on the official MCU release slate. Recent comments by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, however, have reignited hope that the McU's next phase will center around the X-Men, who will likely be recast from the original movies, after a rumored soft reboot of the MCU. Deadpool & Wolverine was mostly devoid of any Avengers characters (aside...

Outside its unique narrative and compelling plot, The Boys has captivated audiences by parodying and subverting hero tropes, while taking inspiration from the Marvel and DC universes. And the potency and genius of its satire takes the spotlight when it comes to its version of the X-Men, and the unforgettable changes made to the fan-favorite Nightcrawler.

One of the most captivating displays of subversion appears in The Boys #29, which focuses on the G-Men a satirical take on Marvel's The Uncanny X-Men. In one scene, Europa, a member of the G-Men's Beta team, G-Force, and a clear parody of Marvel's Nightcrawler, uses his teleportation ability to deliver a brutal sucker punch assassination of his former teammate, Dime-Bag, by seemingly teleporting his fist through the back of his head.

The attack is so shocking that even the grizzled Butcher is taken aback by its depraved intensity. More importantly, it...

Throughout their decades of publishing history, the X-Men have been involved in some of Marvel Comics most jaw-dropping battles. With a list of enemies longer than most fans can count, the Merry Mutants have had plenty of opportunity on display their combat prowess over the years.

But not every fight is created equal. And the X-Mens greatest battles remind readers just why theyre one of Marvels most prominent franchises.

Contains spoilers for Uncanny X-Men (2024) #4!The X-Men are facing an uncertain future as they strand divided and stare down threats old and new alike, but a few words of positivity from one of their most upbeat members has just provided the perfect new slogan for fans, if not for the characters themselves. Its a moment thats as odd as it is inspirational, but its a welcome moment and phrase nonetheless.

Uncanny X-Men #4 written by Gail Simone, with art by David Marquez features a moment in which Wolverine asks Nightcrawler for some words of comfort after being savagely mauled the villain Sarah Gaunt, to which Nightcrawler responds Krakoa lives my oldest friend, Krakoa yet lives

Until just this year, Krakoa was the island nation and mutant homeland, which was devastatingly destroyed, forcing mutantkind, and the X-Men, to reintegrate into human society.

"Krakoa Yet Lives," The Perfect Words To Give The X-Men...

A storm is brewing in the Marvel Universe as The Avengers and the X-Men once again face off against each other, with the beloved hero Storm caught right in the middle. The cover art for The Avengers #21 by artist Valerio Schiti is putting the spotlight on the coming battle between Captain Marvel and Cyclops, as a new Avengers Vs. X-Men war looms heavily over the two superpowered teams.

Most recently, World War Orchis saw the Avengers allying themselves with the oppressed X-Men as they fought against the fascistic rule of Orchis, who were attempting to destroy Krakoa and eradicate mutantkind. The Avengers #21 - by writer Jed MacKay, who is also writing X-Men, and artist Valerio Schiti - will see the X-Men leader Cyclops battle with Avengers leader Captain Marvel, as the Scarlet Witch finally faces down her father Magneto, and new Avenger member Storm is forced to choose a side.

Ranker is a popular online platform where fans can rank anything they want, in whatever way they choose, at any time. The rankings are entirely fan-driven and are not officially connected to the creators of the projects being ranked. Recently, a large survey was conducted on Ranker to determine the most powerful mutants in Marvel’s fictional universe. While the list features numerous characters, we’ve chosen to highlight the top ten for a deeper dive, adding our own commentary and opinions to enhance the report.

Given the significance of this list, we’re excited to share it with you. We’ll be counting down the top 10 mutants from 10th place to 1st. We hope you enjoy it!

10. Charles Francis Xavier / Professor X

You might think Professor X deserves a higher spot on this list, but once you see the names ranked above him, you’ll understand why fans placed him here.

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the most powerful mutants from Marvel’s fictional universe. The list includes a bunch of characters, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten characters from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.

Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 characters on this list, from 10th to first place. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Marvel superheroes have had some memorable last moments on film. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) affirming one last time "I am Iron Man" before annihilating Thanos with a finger snap in "Avengers: Endgame." "Logan" has Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) dying a peaceful death with his heart in his hands, finally knowing the last answer all people receive: "So this is what it feels like." Remy LeBeau, currently deceased after the shocking "X-Men '97" episode "Remember It," stopped the completion of a mutant genocide by detonating the Sentinel that skewered him, giving his life with one last boast: "The name's Gambit — remember it!"

But while a handful of superheroes have died in the movies, many more have in the comics. Since the 1992 event "The Death of Superman," it's pretty much become a right of passage for any Marvel or DC character deemed important enough to receive a headlining death and then resurrection.

Heading into last month's San Diego Comic-Con, we'd hoped Marvel Studios might replace Avengers: The Kang Dynasty with Avengers vs. X-Men. Instead, we got Avengers: Doomsday and the news Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom.

It's a ballsy move on Marvel's part but not one which closes the door on Earth's Mightiest Heroes doing battle with mutants. An Earth-616/Earth-100005 Incursion looks increasingly likely and, when that happens, a fight is bound to ensue. 

That isn't the full-blown Avengers vs. X-Men movie we'd expected, but a clash between the McU's greatest and Fox's iconic roster of X-Men is an undeniably enticing prospect. With that in mind, it's time to explore key moments from the comic books which need to be adapted by the Russos. 

Marvel Studios will likely adapt very little of this story but that doesn't mean there aren't still some...

Deadpool & Wolverine will bring the Fox X-Men character into the MCU. Since Deadpool is so beloved, it makes sense that Cable could also make an appearance sometime in the future. Should Cable return, it would also be a chance to fix many glaring problems with the fan-favorite character.

The Deadpool movies were surprise runaway hits thanks to Ryan Reynold's ability to embody the Merc with a Mouth in a way only the likes of Robert Downey Jr. or Hugh Jackman could do. Since then, the only thing fans have wanted was for the character, previously in a semi-standalone universe, to be included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, with Deadpool & Wolverine finally on the way, fans can see how Marvel's most annoying character will make his way to the MCU. That said, there's a whole world he left behind filled with questions and, hopefully, second chances.

Deadpool & Wolverine will...

Quick Links X-Men '97 Could Introduce Uncanny X-Force X-Men '97 Could Do Its Own Take on the Dark X-Men X-Men '97 Is Doing What the MCU Failed To Do

The following contains major spoilers for X-Men '97 Season 1, Episode 5, "Remember It," now streaming on Disney+.

One of the main concerns of X-Men '97 Season 1 is how much belief Professor Xavier's mutants have in mankind. No matter how many times these mutants save citizens and nations, people constantly turn against them. This anti-mutant sentiment continues to be explored through villains like the Friends of Humanity.

Episode 5, "Remember It," is poised to test the relationship between X-Men and the outside world in a big way. With a massive genocide having occurred on Genosha, the stage is set for mutants to really tap into their dark sides. In the process, X-Men '97 could take a macabre turn and unleash two of Marvel's bloodiest teams.

Marvel Studios’ animated series X-Men ’97, created by Beau DeMayo, is a revival of 1992’s successful series X-Men: The Animated Series, which concluded its five-season run in 1997. Picking up where the original series left off, the 2024 series is going to depict X-Men facing challenges following the loss of their leader, Professor X.

X-Men ’97 is the first X-Men project from Marvel Studios since the studios regained the rights to the characters for movies and television. Vice President of Animation at Marvel Studios, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, had mentioned that the people involved with the revival of 1992’s series were fans of the show and knew exactly how the story for the 2024 series would pick up. Brad Winderbaum, however, revealed one of their plans for the series that could probably make fans happy.

Transonic's unique powers add a disturbing yet beautiful twist to the traditional speedster classification. Earth-93068's Uncanny Avengers prove that Laurie Tromette, aka Transonic, would be a valuable addition to Earth-616's Unity Squad. The X-Men's fabulous speedster, Transonic, showcases her impressive abilities in taking out two Wolverine variants singlehandedly in Weapon X-Men #1.

Warning: contains spoilers for Weapon X-Men #1The newest iteration of the iconic Uncanny Avengers, debuting in Weapon X-Men #1, sees the united Avengers team adding the X-Men speedster hero Transonic to their roster. Transonic, or Laurie Tromette, is a powerful mutant with the ability to move at supersonic speeds, like the Avengers hero Quicksilver, but Laurie's powers give a decidedly body horror twist to the traditional speedster classification.

Weapon X-Men, a follow-up series to the one-shot Original X-Men, sees a group of alternate reality Wolverines traversing the Multiverse in an attempt to find and destroy the newest version of the villainous Onslaught.

Most of the Marvel fandom has either been a part of or witnessed the everlasting debate about two of its iconic superhero groups, and Marvel Snap is set to settle the argument once and for all in its new update. In February, the digital card game primarily revolved around the Mad Titan Thanos and his support squad, but as the new season is ready for launch this week, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will face off against their Mutant frenemies.

Avengers vs X-Men has always been a hot topic among the comics fanbase, and since the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be taking a bit too long to adapt the massive 2012 crossover event, developer Second Dinner is taking matters into its own hands.

The X-Men have been the center of rampant speculation, fan casting, and overall intrigue ever since the MCU scooped up the rights from Fox. Who’ll be on the team? What villain will they take on first? Who’s going to play Wolverine? Even Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said that “we’re getting close” to the re-introduction of Marvel’s favorite mutants. The upcoming release of Deadpool & Wolverine will delight fans as many of the versions of the X-Men from the 20th Century Fox movies will make their return. Yet that isn't the only high-profile X-Men project in 2024. Premiering four months before the third Deadpool movie will be X-Men '97 a continuation of the classic '90s X-Men: The Animated Series.

The X-Men series came during the great run of cartoons along with Batman: The Animated Series, kicking off an era of high-profile superhero animated series like...

Danger, the sentient incarnation of the Danger Room, is currently working against the mutant nation of Krakoa due to their ban on artificial intelligence. Danger has the potential to be a gamechanging character in the upcoming climax of the Krakoan era, as she possesses valuable knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the X-Men. The X-Men have the opportunity to either make amends with Danger and convince her to join their cause, or she could be crucial to Orchis's annihilation of mutantkind, allying herself with other dangerous artificial intelligences inside the villainous organization. Her decision could determine the outcome of the conflict.

One long-time X-Men character – whose role has changed dramatically in the years since their first introduction, and who has been both an antagonist and an ally to the team over the years – still has time to play a pivotal role in the future of the X-franchise; it's possible that Danger,...

Each of the Avengers was a solo hero first, and many of them aren't great team players. Spider-Man neglected his responsibilities, while U.S. Agent mistreated his allies. Others have turned on their fellow heroes in big ways - Captain Marvel and Iron Man's Civil War crimes were truly despicable. Then there are those who simply never belonged on the team, like Hulk and the Irredeemable Ant-Man.

While the Avengers may be Earth's Mightiest Heroes, that doesn't necessarily make them nice people. Each of the heroes on the Avengers roster started out as a solo crime-fighter, and many aren't actually cut out for a team-based way of life. There are those who never stop needling their fellow heroes, those who endanger their teammates through arrogance, and even those who have violently betrayed the Avengers.

In this list, Screen Rant will name the 15 biggest jerks to ever be included on...

Warning: contains spoilers for Children of the Vault #3An emotional letter in Children of the Vault #3 reveals that a surprising X-Men hero, the gruff time-traveling warrior Cable, may be Marvel's most caring and compassionate father. Having heard the rumor that Hope died in the Orchis assault on the Hellfire Gala, Cable sends a beautiful and heartbreaking telepathic message to the "mutant messiah" which shows just how special their father-daughter bond is.

Cable raised his adopted daughter Hope Summers since she was a baby, starting in the X-Men: Messiah Complex event which saw Hope born as the first mutant on Earth after the devastating events of the Decimation.

Children of the Vault #3, from writer Deniz Camp and artists Luca Maresca and Carlos Lopez, sees Cable send a telepathic message to his daughter telling her he knows she is alive and that, "Whatever it takes, I will be here waiting for you.

Marvel unveiled a gorgeous and exciting trailer for the start of Fall of X at the upcoming X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 special event, offering a quick glimpse at the official Gala costume for Cyclops. His outfit provides a brooding and magisterial look for the complex hero who has had some villainous ideals in recent months.

The third annual Hellfire Gala promises to be perhaps the most dramatic and destructive yet. The evil anti-mutant agency Orchis is planning a serious attack on the mutants of Krakoa with Nimrod and their Stark Sentinels, marking the opening salvo of the Fall of X war that Orchis will, shockingly, be winning.

Since they’re shown in the trailer, here are first rough sketches for my Cyclops and Rogue designs. (Details changed in the final page.) Full preview and trailer here:https://t.co/dArs0cfzUS pic.twitter.com/9DVrRDn4t7 — Luciano Vecchio (@LucianoVecchio) June 15, 2023

Cyclops is...

Xorn, a relatively unknown mutant villain, kills Jean Grey by using his magnetic manipulation powers to send a lethal electromagnetic pulse through her body. Nightcrawler sacrifices himself to save Hope Summers from the powerful and little-known villain Bastian, who impales Nightcrawler through the chest. Cyclops allows himself to be killed by nameless Breakworld fighters in a moment of self-sacrifice to stop a threat to Earth, showing that even powerful X-Men can fall to Z-list villains.

The X-Men is one of the most formidable superhero teams in Marvel Comics history, though even they aren’t invincible. Over the years, more than a few members of the mutant militant force have been killed in action.

While some of those deaths were heroic and well-earned, with only the most prominent and powerful supervillains in their rogue’s gallery being able to do them in, a number of X-Men were killed by villains who...

Every member of the X-Men possesses unique physiologies, granting them powers ranging from weather manipulation to kinetic duplication. Many mutants have abilities that make them significantly more powerful, but few compare to the god-like levels of Thor. However, X-Factor member Darwin once used his mutation to ascend to godhood and gain power that trumped even the Goddess of Death.

X-Factor #212 – writer by Peter David, with art by Emanuela Lupacchino – finds the mutant detective agency, alongside Thor, attempting to rescue Pip the troll from Hela the Goddess of Death in the realm of Niffleheim.

During their confrontation with Hela, team member Darwin uses his powers of adaptation in the ultimate way, achieving power which makes even an Asgardian Goddess fear him.

Warning: Spoilers for X-Men #25More than a decade after the events of Avengers vs. X-Men, Captain America has shown that he learned an important lesson that sticks with him today. The Avengers and X-Men have a storied history, but the X-Men's more recent history sees them trying to recover from the Orchis attack at the Hellfire Gala. The anti-mutant onslaught was enough to leave countless dead.

The mutant population deals with the aftermath of their latest genocidal tragedy in X-Men #25, written by Gerry Duggan, with art by Stefano Caselli, color by Marte Gracia, and lettering by Clayton Cowles. In this issue, Steve Rogers joins the X-Men as a support system as Cap reforms the Avengers Unity Squad specifically to assist the mutants underground as they're hunted. "Old Man Rogers knows the value of symbolism and optics," reads the narration.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Immortal X-Men #14After being forced through a tampered with Krakoan Gateway during Orchis' attack on this year's X-Men Hellfire Gala, the mutant messiah Hope Summers finds herself alongside Exodus and Destiny, trapped in a desert with 250,000 desperate mutants trying to survive in Immortal X-Men #14.

During the anti-mutant organization's assault on Krakoa, the vile Dr. Stasis manipulated Charles Xavier into psychically forcing thousands of mutants through the world's Krakoan Gateways. Immortal X-Men #14, from writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck, shows that contrary to what Xavier thinks, pushing these mutants through the gates did not kill them. Instead, it has left them stranded in a foreign desert with Exodus as their new leader.

Hope & Exodus Are The Perfect Pair To Lead A Mutant Cult

Exodus, a faith-based Omega-level psychic mutant, forced Hope and the rest of the Five through a Gateway during the Hellfire Gala, hoping to...

Warning: Contains spoilers for X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1!

Ms. Marvel is back and she's now a mutant, adding a new chapter to her already impressive superhero journey. There are many questions surrounding her resurrection and her hybrid status as an Inhuman/mutant. How did she survive exposure to the Terrigen Mists? Why is her mutant power only now coming to light? With her undisclosed mutant power, Ms. Marvel has the potential to become one of Marvel's most powerful heroes, making her return at the Hellfire Gala even more exciting.

Marvel has officially resurrected Ms. Marvel–with a brand new, mysterious superpower. Over the last decade, Kamala Khan has emerged as one of the publisher’s top characters, eventually headlining her own MCU show. Tragically, Ms. Marvel sacrificed her life earlier this year, but Marvel wasted no time in bringing her back at this year’s Hellfire Gala–this time as a...

The idea that there's no such thing as an original idea in comic books might seem a preposterous claim to many, especially fans and readers. But Invincible creator Robert Kirkman suggests that there's credence to the assertion — at least when it comes to the X-Men.

In a conversation with fellow comics creator Todd McFarlane on Cbr's Dynamic Duos podcast, Kirkman reveals how Superball —a character he created as a teenager and included in his Capes comic book — predates Marvel's Goldballs, a major member of Marvel Comics' X-Men. Both have special abilities that shoot from their bodies literal bouncing balls — which they generate themselves.

Capes, a collaboration between Kirkman and artist Mark Englert, tells the story of a world where superheroes are a common element of society's criminal justice system. Rather than being super-powered vigilantes, however, "super-hero-ing" is an actual profession that exists alongside traditional law enforcement. In the podcast episode,...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion & Immortal X-Men #11The horrific future timeline that occurred throughout the X-Men's Sins of Sinister event has finally been reset, but a devastating twist revealed that Charles Xavier, Hope Summers, Emma Frost, and Exodus are all still corrupted with Sinister's mind-virus. To prevent these incredibly powerful mutants from wreaking the sort of havoc seen in the alternate timeline, the Quiet Council is forced to send the four into Krakoa's Pit.

While the mutant nation of Krakoa was meant to be founded as a sort of abolitionist state where all mutants were free, the Quiet Council still forced the living island to form "the Pit," a prison-like cavity that holds criminals in stasis. While the Pit has been used and abused in recent months by Sabretooth and Nature Girl, the conclusion to Sins of Sinister confirms that it is the sole power capable...

An exciting new preview for Immortal X-Men #12 reveals that, through the manipulation of the vile Sebastian Shaw and the corrupted Colossus, the immortal mutant "vampire" Selene will be elected onto Krakoa's Quiet Council, a decision that will surely have grave impacts on the mutant nation.

Selene Gallio, an iconic Goth sorceress who has lived for nearly 17,000 years, has been assumed dead since Immortal X-Men #2 when Hope Summers and Exodus executed her after she attacked Krakoa as a consequence of her first failed attempt at joining Krakoa's ruling body following Magneto's departure from the Council.

An epic new ComicsXF exclusive preview for Immortal X-Men #12 - from writer Kieron Gillen and artists Lucas Werneck and David Curiel - shows how the selfish and greedy Sebastian Shaw "manipulated" Colossus, using the 3 votes on the Council he holds, to elect Selene to the Quiet Council, much to the chagrin and shock and Piotr's ex-girlfriend Kate Pryde.

The key to Krakoan resurrection lies with the Five, and their new design is set to stoke the fires of the X-Men's Hellfire Gala. This mutant circuit is often regarded as underrated by fans, especially since they are the source of the nation's greatest gift despite barely having a voice in Krakoan politics. Meta-textually, this supremely essential component to this era of X-Men storytelling has remained almost entirely side characters. This may be about to change though, since their Hellfire ensemble suggests a huge incoming power up for the Five.

Marvel recently released a massive wave of variant covers featuring character redesigns for the 2023 Hellfire Gala. On his Twitter account artist Luciano Vecchio shared his Gala variant of Immortal X-Men #13, and he also shared the design sheet. Standing at the fore is Hope Summers, member of the Five and voice of the circuit on the Quiet Council. Flanking her on each side are Egg,...
