The X-Men The All-New, All-Different X-Men. The X-Men are a fictional superhero team featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and introduced in the first issue of the ongoing comic series Uncanny X-Men. Though it took them quite a number of years to earn their place in pop-culture history, the X-Men have developed an enormous fan base over the years and have yielded a successful multimedia franchise which includes dozens of spin-off titles, several animated programs, a feature film franchise as well as video games, novels, toys and apparel. |
