The New Mutants are a group of fictional mutant superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, generally in association with the X-Men. Originally depicted as the teenaged junior class at the Xavier Institute, subsequent stories have depicted the characters as adult superheroes (in their eponymous series as well as in related titles such as X-Force and The Avengers ) or as teachers and mentors to younger mutants.

Contents

The team first appeared in The New Mutants (September 1982) by Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod, part of the Marvel Graphic Novel line, followed by the ongoing series The New Mutants which ran from 1983 until 1991. Like the X-Men parent title, also written by Claremont, The New Mutants featured an ensemble cast, with stories often focused on interpersonal relationships and coming-of-age arcs, blending teen drama with action and adventure. The title was taken over by writer Louise Simonson, ultimately taking a more action-oriented focus under artist Rob Liefeld, who relaunched the characters as X-Force following the series' end.

Since their inception, several New Mutants series have been published, either focusing on the continuing adventures of the original lineup, new groups of young mutants, or some combination of both. Individual characters have appeared in various film, television, and other media adaptations of the X-Men franchise, while most of the original lineup of the New Mutants was featured in the 2020 20th Century Studios film of the same name. [1]

Original run

By the early 1980s, The Uncanny X-Men (under the authorship of Chris Claremont) had become one of the comic book industry's most successful titles, prompting Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter to launch The New Mutants , the first of several X-Men spin-offs. X-Men editor Louise Simonson recalled "Neither Chris [Claremont] or I really wanted to do it. We wanted X-Men to be special and by itself, but Shooter told us that if we didn't come up with a new 'mutant' book, someone else would." [2] The name was a modification of Stan Lee's original name for the X-Men, "The Mutants". [2]

The New Mutants were teenaged students of Professor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and wore matching uniforms, much like the original X-Men, who had since grown into adulthood. [3] These students resembled the "all-new, all-different X-Men" of their era in terms of ethnic diversity. [4]

The original team consisted of:

The team was intended to debut in their own series. As the first issue was nearing completion, Shooter ordered it to be reworked into a graphic novel so that Marvel Graphic Novel could make its deadline for the next issue. Thus, the New Mutants debuted in Marvel Graphic Novel #4 (December 1982), which continued a plotline from The Uncanny X-Men. Despite this, the graphic novel missed its shipping slot by two weeks due to artist Bob McLeod's honeymoon. [2]

In addition to very serious depictions of teenage angst and growing pains, the series featured themes of mysticism. The stories also relied on wilder, more far-fetched premises than were typical of X-Men at the time, shaping into more of a science fiction and fantasy series than the superhero coming-of-age comic it had been touted as in its early days. [3] Locales included demonic dimensions, alternate futures, and an ancient Roman civilization hidden within the Amazon rainforest. The New Mutants also encountered a secret society called the Hellfire Club, and began a rivalry with their young apprentices, the Hellions.

Karma was dropped from the series after six issues under initially unclear circumstances. The New Mutants #6 ends on a cliffhanger as the building the New Mutants are in explodes, but issue #7 skips ahead several days and opens with the New Mutants grieving the missing Karma, with no explanation for how she was lost. [4] It was not until a flashback by Sunspot in issue #10 that Karma's absence was explained. Adding further to the confusion, while Karma was dropped from the series head roster for the cover of issue #7, she returned to the head roster on the covers of issues #8 and 9, even though she was still gone. [4] After the apparent death of Karma, Cannonball and Dani Moonstar act as co-leaders. [5] New recruits included:

A supplementary series, The New Mutants Annual, began in 1984. These annuals were always written by whoever was the regular New Mutants writer at the time and often included significant changes to the status quo. These changes were not explained in the parent series, so that readers would have to buy The New Mutants Annual to follow events in both series. Annual #1 (1984) featured the first appearance of Cannonball's love interest, rock musician Lila Cheney, and was drawn by McLeod. The 1985 annual, which was solicited as The New Mutants Annual #2 but published as The New Mutants Special Edition #1 because it exceeded the maximum page count for an annual, [6] saw Mirage inducted into the Valkyrior and Cypher and Warlock merging into one body for the first time. A 1987 issue of Comics Feature called The New Mutants Special Edition #1 "the single finest New Mutants tale to date and one of the best comics published in the past decade", citing Claremont's penchant for fantasy, artist Arthur Adams's depiction of Warlock, and the strong individual development of all the characters. [4] Annual #2 (1986) featured the first American appearance of Psylocke; it, along with Annual #3 (1987), was drawn by Alan Davis. Annual #4 (1988) saw Mirage's powers dramatically enhanced so that she created physical manifestations of people's fears and desires rather than illusions. Annual #5 (1989) covers the New Mutants' return to Earth after a lengthy stay in Asgard in the main series. Annual #6 (1990) was part of the "Days of Future Present" crossover. It also featured the first appearance (in pin-up form) of Shatterstar, as part of a planned line-up change preview that was ultimately discarded when Louise Simonson left the series. Annual #7 (1991) was the last issue of the series.

Furthermore, in 1990, Ann Nocenti and Bret Blevins produced an 80-page issue called The New Mutants Summer Special. The special saw several New Mutants (Boom Boom, Wolfsbane, Sunspot, and Warlock) dragged into a world of television, which served as a vehicle for Nocenti to discuss mass media theory.

In 1986, Professor X was written out of the series. Before he left, he made the X-Men's one-time nemesis, Magneto, headmaster of his school. [7] Magneto would be the team's longest-running headmaster, holding the position from The New Mutants #35 through to #75. Fiercely overprotective of his students, particularly after the events of the "Mutant Massacre" and "Fall of the Mutants", he was increasingly used as an uptight foil for the adventurous New Mutants, setting rules that they would inevitably break in the interests of helping their friends.

During Simonson's run, Magma is written out of the book, [8] and Magik is de-aged back to childhood. [9] Due to his unpopularity with readers and artists, Cypher is killed off in The New Mutants #60 (February 1988). Simonson recalled, "He wasn't fun to draw. He just stood around and hid behind a tree during a fight... Every artist who ever did him said 'Can't we kill this guy?' We would get letters from fans about how much they hated him." [2] Simonson also folded the X-Terminators, a group of young wards from X-Factor , into the New Mutants. [10]

The X-Terminators added to the team were:

In 1989, Simonson crafted a saga in which the team journeyed to Asgard, the home of the gods of Norse mythology. The storyline wrote Mirage out of the series, as she joined the Norse pantheon as one of the Valkyrior. [11] The New Mutants #64 deals with the team's mourning of Cypher, and includes a scene in which Warlock attempts to resurrect Cypher by taking his corpse out of its coffin and showing it to Cypher's loved ones. Simonson holds it to be her favorite New Mutants story, though she acknowledges that many readers found it too morbid. [2]

A new mentor for the group, the mysterious mercenary Cable, was introduced. [11] Over the next year, several longtime team members were written out or killed off. When Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza took over as writers of the final three issues of the series, they included several harder-edged characters:

The New Mutants was cancelled in 1991 with issue #100, but the new platoon-like team formed by Cable continued in X-Force . That team featured a variety of the former New Mutants cast.

Critical response

Literary scholar Ramzi Fawaz emphasizes the significance of the original run. He argues that in contrast to the original X-Men stories, New Mutants "radically reassesses the concept of the 'mutant superhero.'" For example, Fawaz writes that mutant powers are re-envisioned as traumatic experiences of shame. He argues that this is a response to the fragmentation of social liberation movements in the 1980s. He writes that "Like the social movements of the 1980s that destabilized instrumentalist understandings of politics, The New Mutants recast the figure of the superhero as a contingent political actor detached from an assumed role as a purveyor of liberal ideals."

The second incarnation of the New Mutants debuted in 2003 with an ongoing series of the same name, written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. [13] [14] [15] The series would continue for 13 issues, until June 2004. [16] Following the end of Grant Morrison's New X-Men , New Mutants was then relaunched as New X-Men: Academy X . [14] [17] [15] The series featured a handful of the dozens of mutant teenagers attending the Xavier Institute, as well as their instructors, which included various X-Men as well as former members of the original New Mutants (Karma, Magma, Danielle Moonstar, and Wolfsbane).

The featured group of students never refer to themselves as "the New Mutants" before the series relaunch as New X-Men: Academy X in 2004, and the reorganization of the Xavier Institute student body into various training squads. The New Mutants, advised by Dani Moonstar, were:

Another such group, advised by Emma Frost, was known as the Hellions and, like their predecessor, was the arch-rival of the New Mutants. Whereas the original New Mutants series revolved around battles with world-threatening menaces, New Mutants volume 2 focused on the characters' personal relationships and struggles with controlling their powers.

After "M-Day", the cataclysmic event that decimated the world's mutant population, only 27 of the 182 students enrolled at the Xavier Institute retained their powers. The New Mutants and the other training squads were disbanded, and the remaining students were folded into a single junior team, the New X-Men. [24]

In May 2009, a third volume of New Mutants was launched.[ citation needed ] The team is a reunion of the cast from the first volume, consisting of Cannonball, Karma, Magik, Magma, Danielle Moonstar, and Sunspot.

The reunion is spun from events from the limited series X-Infernus . Magik shows up at the X-Men headquarters in San Francisco, claiming to be from the future and warning that Dani Moonstar and Karma are in danger. Once tests show that Illyanna is not an imposter, Cannonball leads a rescue mission with her. They are joined by Magma and Sunspot. [25] They end up taking on Legion.

In a later issue, Warlock returns to Earth [26] and Cypher reappears alive, under the control of Selene. After Warlock frees him from Selene's control, Cypher joins the team. [27] [28]

During "Siege", Hela empowers Dani (now going by her old codename Mirage) [29] as a Valkyrie to bring the souls of the fallen Asgardians to her. [30] During "X-Men: Second Coming", Karma loses her leg after being stabbed by Cameron Hodge. [31]

Magik leads the team to Limbo as part of her plan for revenge against the Elder Gods. Cyclops has her imprisoned for her actions. [32] When the X-Men split in the "Schism" storyline, the majority of the team sides with Cyclops and stays on Utopia, while Cannonball and Karma side with Wolverine and leave to join the new Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. [33]

Cyclops tasks the remaining team with closing off some of the X-Men's 'unfinished business', and they ultimately recruit:

Dead Souls

A six issue mini-series The New Mutants: Dead Souls was launched in March 2018, written by Matthew Rosenberg and pencilled by Adam Gorham. [36] The new team is a corporate-sponsored squad employed by former New Mutant Karma, who has inherited the multinational Hatchi Corporation. The team consists of other former New Mutants Magik, Wolfsbane, Rictor, and Boom-Boom, alongside:

The team investigated paranormal and magical threats, ultimately realizing Karma had sent them on a hunt for her brother Trân Cao Mạnh, whose soul had escaped her body and was seeking a way to restore his own. [37] The series ended on a cliffhanger, where Karma, Magik, Wolfsbane and Strong Guy, along with Mirage, were infected by the Transmode Virus via Warlock. [38] Rosenberg carried the unresolved plot threads across to his contemporaneous run on Uncanny X-Men , folding the remaining members of the New Mutants team into the X-Men, led by Cyclops.

Krakoan Age

New Mutants was relaunched in November 2019 as part of Dawn of X. [39] There were initially two teams who appeared in rotating issues. The first was a reunion of the original New Mutants team, featuring Mirage, Karma, Magik, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, and Cypher, as well as:

The second team [40] featured Boom-Boom and, later, Magma, alongside:

These two teams ultimately merged into one under writer Ed Brisson, in which they rescued a young mutant from the fictional European nation Carnella and took on the online hate group DOX. [41]

When Vita Ayala took over as writer, a new team featuring older New Mutants Karma, Magik, Mirage, Warlock, Warpath, and Wolfsbane acted as teachers and mentors to a new group of younger students known as the Lost Club. [42] This new group of students (which at first includes Anole, Scout, Rain Boy, Cosmar, and No-Girl) falls under the influence of and later into conflict with the Shadow King, culminating in an adventure through the astral plane. [43]

In the concluding mini-series New Mutants Lethal Legion, a group of students from the Lost Club join the New Mutants in an adventure that pits them against Count Nefaria and the Lethal Legion. [44] This includes:

New Mutants members

In 1982, the original New Mutants team debuted in Marvel Graphic Novel #4. [45] Originally led by Professor X, and later by Magneto, the lineup gradually expanded to include additional recruits, with subsequent volumes and titles have features a variety of team members and associated characters.

Rahne of Terra

The 1991 graphic novel Wolverine: Rahne of Terra, by Peter David, is set in a heroic fantasy universe in which Wolfsbane's counterpart is Princess Rain of Geshem. Other denizens of Terra include Rain's lady-in-waiting Tabby (Boom-Boom), the knights Richard (Rictor), Robert (Sunspot), and Samuel (Cannonball), and the peasant boy Douglas (Cypher). The Terrans all duplicate the powers of their counterparts in one way or another. [48]

The New Mutants: Truth or Death

In 1997, a three-issue reunion series written by Ben Raab and illustrated by Bernard Chang, The New Mutants: Truth or Death, featured the young New Mutants traveling forward in time to meet their older, jaded selves in X-Force.

Worst X-Man Ever

Here the New Mutants consist of X-Ceptional, who can explode permanently, Riches, who turns whatever he touches to gold, Minerva, who can manipulate reality, and Riches' sister Rags. Riches kills Professor X and takes over the world. Rags begins a relationship with Gambit, and Minerva goes to pure idea. X-Ceptional grabs Riches and explodes, killing them both. [49]

Ultimate Marvel

In Ultimate X-Men, the Academy of Tomorrow (previously called New Mutants) is founded by Emma Frost. It is loosely linked to the X-Men via Emma Frost's professional relationship with her former lover and teacher Charles Xavier.

During Ultimatum , the Academy of Tomorrow is destroyed in a terrorist attack by Multiple Man. [50] Former members include Angel, Beast, Cannonball, Dazzler, Karma, Northstar, Polaris, Sunspot, and Cypher. [51]
