Xmen History

I love my Marvel Xmen Action Figures. Here is a bit of the back story behind the Xmen Action Figure line…

The X-Men are a superhero group in the Marvel Comics world. They were dreamt upby legendary comicbook author Stan Lee and comicbook artist Jack Kirby. The Xmen appeared first in the appropriately titled, The X-Men number one in the early sixties. In a fog of growing sentiment against mutants, Professor Xavier produced a harbor at his New York residence to teach young mutants to exercise their powers for the welfare of humankind, and to establish mutants could be heroes. Xavier enrolled Iceman, Cyclops, Angel, Jean Grey and Beast calling them “X-Men” since they had special abilities attributable their having the “X-Gene”. The X Gene is a gene natural mortals lacked and affords Mutants their powers.

Early comicbooks brought in the Xmen’s arch foe, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants, who’d persist in to battleing the X-Men for years throughout the Xmen’s history. The X-Men comics have been conformed into additional media, such as action figures, animated TV series, computer games, and a flourishing series of movies.

In the first animated series of X Men, there was just a five-man army. As the storyline developed, so did the Super Heros. The first Super Heros that constituted the cornerstone of X-Men force mutants were Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast and Jean Grey. The X Gene has afforded them all the powerful ability to battle the wicked Mutants, which are growing in number in the world.

The next generation force is made by Professor X, also called Professor Xavier at his personal Westchester mansion house in NY. He applies his scientific mind to prepare and teach the X-Men force to battle against the wicked mutants and absol

ve the society of the evil elements. Since the creation of the series in the sixties, Xmen has gone through a change in the characters. Cyclops is the lone continuous persona of the whole series that’s gone on unaltered from series after series. Wicked mutants in the first Xmen were Mastermind, Magneto, Quicksilver, the Toad, and Scarlet Witch.

Since the first sixties edition, the characters have shifted phenomenally to the desires of the fans. In the 1960’s

edition of X-Men there lived only one character add-on who was named Mimic/Calvin Rankin. But, he left the story real soon attributable the truth that his ability lost the luster and he wasn’t likable to the fans.

The 1969 edition of the X-Men was penned by Roy Thomas and the artwork was handled Neal Adams. There were 2 fresh characters were by the names of Lorna Dane (Polaris) & Havok/Alex Summers . The persona of Polaris was made by Arnold Drake & Jim Steranko. These debuts didn’t step-up in the sales chart, and there was a full finish to the chronicle’s output by Marvel at that time.

X-Men is an absorbing anime series that’s brought young and old great joy. The whole series has something stimulating occurring all the time. If you love the X-Men series characters and story, you will be glued from one series to next.

I have two sets of Xmen Action Figures, one recreates the classic lineup, and the other a more modern lineup. I often wonder who would win if the the two Xmen Action Figure teams were to rumble. Ah, the imagination runs wild.
