X-Men is a continuation of the great Stan Lee's & Jack Kirby's original X-Men (Vol. 1).
This title had many creative influences over the years, but the great Chris Claremont was the force that drove the title through many it its historic changes, therefore truly bringing it from "the world strangest teens" into their new status, a team of mutants fight in a "world that fears and hates them".
During his legendary 15 year run he gave us character and stories such as Phoenix/Dark Phoenix, the Hellfire Club, the New Mutants, X-Factor, the Mutant Massacre and Inferno and numerous other historic heroes and events. This epic run ended after editorial disputes in 1991.
