The team first appeared inThe New Mutants(September 1982) byChris Claremontand artistBob McLeod,part of theMarvel Graphic Novelline,followed by theongoing seriesThe New Mutantswhich ran from 1983 until 1991. Like theX-Menparent title, also written by Claremont,The New Mutantsfeatured anensemble cast,with stories often focused on interpersonal relationships and coming-of-age arcs, blendingteen dramawith action and adventure. The title was later taken over by writerLouise Simonson,ultimately taking a more action-oriented focus under artistRob Liefeld,who relaunched the characters asX-Forcefollowing the series' end.

Since their inception, severalNew Mutantsseries 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 invarious 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 202020th Century Studioshorror filmofthe same name.[1]

Original run

edit

By the early 1980s,Uncanny X-Men(under the authorship ofChris Claremont) had become one of the comic book industry's most successful titles, prompting Marvel editor-in-chiefJim Shooterto launchThe New Mutants,the first of severalX-Menspin-offs.X-MeneditorLouise Simonsonrecalled "Neither Chris [Claremont] or I really wanted to do it. We wantedX-Mento 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 ofStan Lee's original name for the X-Men, "The Mutants".[2]

The New Mutants were teenaged students ofProfessor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngstersand 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.

The original team consisted of:

  • Cannonball(Samuel Guthrie), a 16-year-old boy fromKentucky,United Statesand eventual co-leader, with the ability to generate thermo-chemical energy and propel himself through the air.
  • Karma(Mạnh Cao Xuân), a 19-year-old girl fromVietnamand the team's original leader, who could mentally possess other people's bodies.
  • Mirage(Danielle Moonstar, originally codenamed Psyche), a girl who is aCheyenneNative Americanand eventual co-leader after Karma's apparent death, who could create visualempathicthree-dimensional illusions.
  • Sunspot(Roberto da Costa), a 14-year-old boy fromBrazilwho hadsuperhuman strengthfueled by sunlight and could store solar energy in his body to use his super strength.
  • Wolfsbane(Rahne Sinclair), a 13-year-old religious girl fromScotland,United Kingdomwho could transform into awolfand awerewolf-like creature.

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 thatMarvel Graphic Novelcould make its deadline for the next issue. Thus, the New Mutants debuted inMarvel Graphic Novel#4(December 1982), which continued a plotline fromUncanny X-Men.[2]

In addition to very serious depictions of teenage angst and growing pains, the series featured themes ofmysticism.The stories also relied on wilder, more far-fetched premises than were typical ofX-Menat the time, shaping into more of ascience fictionandfantasyseries 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 theAmazon rainforest.The New Mutants also encountered a secret society called theHellfire Club,and began a rivalry with their young apprentices, theHellions.

After the apparent death of Karma, Cannonball and Dani Moonstar act as co-leaders.[4]New recruits included:

  • Cypher(Douglas Ramsey), an otherwise ordinary young man who could learn to read or speak any language rapidly, whether it was human, alien, or machine, making him an unmatched computer expert.
  • Magik(Illyana Rasputin), sister of theRussianX-ManColossusand long-time resident of the X-Mansion, an accomplished mystic who could open "teleportation discs" allowing travel toLimboand from there, any point onEarth.
  • Magma(Amara Juliana Olivians Aquilla), a fiercely tempered native of a secretRomansociety in theAmazonwho can controllava.[3]
  • Warlock,an extraterrestrial of thetechno-organicrace known as theTechnarchy.Considered a pariah due to the uncommon trait of empathy.

A supplementaryNew Mutants Annualseries began in 1984, though rather than producing an Annual, Marvel skipped a proper Annual in 1985 in favor of "New Mutants Special Edition". The first Annual (#1) featured the first appearance of Lila Cheney, a musician styled after Joan Jett who became a love interest to Cannonball and was Bob Mcloed's final work on the original series. The second Annual (#2, 1986) featured the first American appearance of Psylocke; it along with Annual #3 (1987) were drawn by Alan Davis. The 1988 (#4) and 1989 (#5) Annuals were part of the Evolutionary War and Atlantis Attacks "crossover" event, with Annual being the first issue of New Mutants drawn by Rob Liefeld. The 1990 Annual (#6) was part of the "Days of Future Present" mini-series. 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. The final Annual (#7) was part of the 1991 "Kings of Pain" crossover; it holds the distinction of the last issue of the original series to be published as it takes place and was published between New Mutants #100 and X-Force #1.

Furthermore, in 1990, Anne Nocenti and Brett Blevins produced an 80 page special called "New Mutants Summer Special". The special saw several New Mutants (Boom Boom, Wolfsbane, Sunspot, and Warlock) be dragged into a world of television, which served as a vehicle for Nocenti to discuss mass media theory.[5]

In 1986,Professor Xwas written out of the series. Before he left, he made the X-Men's one-time nemesis,Magneto,headmaster of his school.[6]Magneto would be the team's longest-running headmaster, holding the position fromNew 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 uptightfoilfor 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,[7]and Magik is de-aged back to childhood.[8]Due to his unpopularity with New Mutants readers and artists, Cypher is killed off inThe New Mutants#60 (February 1988). Simonson also folded theX-Terminators,a group of young wards fromX-Factor,into the New Mutants.[9]

The X-Terminators added to the team were:

In 1989, Simonson crafted a saga in which the team journeyed toAsgard,the home of the gods ofNorse mythology.The storyline wrote Dani Moonstar out of the series, as she joined the Norse pantheon as one of theValkyrior.[10]Titled "Instant Replay!", the story in New Mutants #64 deals with the New Mutants' mourning for 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.

A new mentor for the group, the mysterious mercenaryCable,was introduced.[10]Over the next year, several longtime team members were written out or killed off. WhenRob LiefeldandFabian Niciezatook over as writers of the final three issues of the series, they included several harder-edged characters:

  • "Domino"(Vanessa Geraldine Carlysle), Cable's pale-skinned, black-garbed mercenary lover. Actually Copycat, impersonatingDomino.
  • Feral(Maria Callasantos), who possessed a bestial temperament and appearance.
  • Shatterstar(Gaveedra Seven), a swashbuckling warrior from another dimension.
  • Warpath(James Proudstar), the younger brother of slain X-ManThunderbirdand a former Hellion, anApachewho possessed super strength and speed.

The New Mutantswas cancelled in 1991 with issue #100, but the new platoon-like team formed by Cable continued inX-Force.That team featured a variety of the formerNew Mutantscast.

Critical response

edit

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 Mutantsrecast the figure of the superhero as a contingent political actor detached from an assumed role as a purveyor of liberal ideals. "[11]

The second incarnation of theNew Mutantsdebuted in 2003 with an ongoing series of the same name, written byNunzio DeFilippisandChristina Weir.[citation needed]The series would continue for 13 issues, until June 2004, before being relaunched asNew X-Men: Academy Xin July 2004, with a new #1.[citation needed]

The series featured a handful of the dozens of mutant teenagers attending theXavier Institute,as well as their instructors, which included variousX-Menas well as former members of the original New Mutants (Karma,Magma,Dani Moonstar,andWolfsbane).

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

  • Elixir(Josh Foley) – Josh is anOmega-Level mutantwho can manipulate his or others' biologies to heal or harm. In addition, Elixir possesses gold skin which converts to black when he uses his powers offensively. He was one of the 27 students at the Xavier Institute to retain his powers after "M-Day". He was seemingly killed by theDark Ridersbefore returning with vastly enhanced abilities.
  • Icarus(Joshua "Jay" Guthrie) – Jay possesses red angelic wings on his back that allow him to fly and which grant him an accelerated healing process. Furthermore, he possesses the ability to manipulate his own voice. He was one of the 27 students at the Xavier Institute to retain his powers after "M-Day". Jay's wings are amputated byStryker,[12]who later kills him.[13]
  • Prodigy(David Alleyne) – David was the team's co-leader who could temporarily gain the knowledge and skills of those near him. Although he was de-powered after "M-Day", he has retained all the knowledge he had acquired prior to the "Decimation".[14]
  • Surge(Noriko Ashida) – Noriko isJapanese.She absorbs electricity from her environment which she can discharge as powerful electric blasts or utilize as superhuman speed. She requires mechanical gauntlets to prevent overcharge. Surge was one of the 27 students at theXavier Instituteto retain her powers after "M-Day".
  • Wallflower(Laurie Collins) – Laurie is a shy girl who generates highly potentpheromonesthat influence people's emotions. She was one of the 27 students at the Xavier Institute to retain her powers after "M-Day". Laurie was later killed by one ofStryker's men.[15]
  • Wind Dancer(Sofia Mantega) – Sofia was the other co-leader and was a temperamental aerokinetic who was particularly adept at using this power to manipulate sound. She was depowered after "M-Day" and joined a group of fellow ex-mutants as part of theNew Warriors.Donning a variety of mechanical gear, she took up the codename Renascence before the group disbanded.
  • Wither(Kevin Ford) – Kevin could cause organic material to decay with his touch. He eventually switches to theHellionssquad.[16]He is later killed by Elixir.[17]

Another such group, advised by Emma Frost, was known as theHellionsand, like their predecessor, was the arch-rival of the New Mutants. Whereas the originalNew Mutantsseries revolved around battles with world-threatening menaces,New Mutantsvolume 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.[18]

In later issue, Warlock returns to Earth[20]and Cypher reappears alive, under the control ofSelene.After Warlock frees him from Selene's control, Cypher joins the team.[21][22]

During "Siege",Helaempowers Dani (now going by the codename Mirage[23]) as a Valkyrie to bring the souls of the fallenAsgardiansto her. During "X-Men: Second Coming",Karma loses her leg after being repeatedly stabbed byCameron Hodge.[24]It is replaced with a bionic one.

Later issues were featuring older New Mutants Karma, Magik, Mirage, Warlock, Warpath, and Wolfsbane acting as teachers and mentors to a new group of younger students known as the Lost Club.[32]This new group of students (which 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.[33]
