X-Men

They were born mutants, possessing powers of a genetic origin which made them outcasts of society. But one man -- Professor Charles Xavier -- brought them together in his dream to learn to use their unique gifts in the service of a world that hates and fears them.

Now, their mentor has passed on, leaving them on their own to work towards building a future all their own. They are...

CURRENT ISSUE: X-Men Annual 2008 by Cory Wiegel

 

An original member and longtime field leader of the X-Men, Scott Summers possesses the mutant ability to fire concussive beams of force from his eyes, which can only be contained with the use of his ruby-quartz visor. While the X-Men operate much differently under Cyclops than Professor X, they still stand for equality between humanity and mutants.
Cyclops
Technically the first student of Xavier, Jean Grey possesses nearly limitless telepathy and telekinesis. Once thought to be impersonated by an alien force known as Phoenix, it was revealed that it was Jean all along, as her power levels fooled even herself. After the death of Xavier and the last stand against Apocalypse, her relationship with husband, Cyclops, has been shaken to its core.
Phoenix
Beast
An original member of the X-Men, Dr. Hank McCoy has also served as a member of the Avengers and the Defenders. He possesses incredible strength and agility, as well as blue fur covering his body, to match his uncanny genius and intelligence. After taking leave from the X-Men to help the Avengers with Warbird's sudden power fluctuations, he has recently returned to the X-Men as a full fledged member.
Beast
After her shocking death at the hands of Apollyon months ago, it appears Ororo Munroe was just imprisoned alongside the one true Cyclops. As Storm, she commanded the weather in all of its forms, but she remains forever and irreversibly changed as a result of her prolonged claustrophobic episode...
Storm
A founding member of the X-Men, Bobby Drake has the ability to spontaneously freeze the moisture in the air, as well as turning his body into solid ice. He has also served as a Champion, a Defender, and on the original lineup of X-Factor. After trying to live a somewhat normal life, Iceman eventually found his way back to the X-Men, ready to dedicate himself fully to Cyclops's squad and Xavier's dream.
Iceman
Rogue
A longtime member of the X-Men, Rosemarie Charleston possesses the ability to absorb the memories and abilities of anyone she comes into physical contact with. After having her powers amped by Apocalypse, she finds that she has access to any powers that she has previously absorbed in the past. After serving as co-leader of the X-Men Omega squad, she has once again returned to the core team.
Rogue
No longer plagued by memory implants or inner demons, the man known only as Logan uses his retractable adamantium claws, animal-keen senses, and quick healing factor to fight for the benefit of human and mutant alike. Now back with the X-Men after a lengthy absence, his teammates (and Wolverine himself) have realized how much has changed in their lives.
Wolverine
A former member of the New Mutants and later X-Force, Sam Guthrie used his bio-kinetic blasting field to graduate to the X-Men, where he became a respected member and even leader. Although shaken by the death of his sister Paige, Cannonball remains privileged to have had the teachings of Xavier, Magneto, and Cable...making him an invaluable member of the X-Men.
Cannonball
Her past a mystery, the woman known as Domino has served as a covert government agent, mercenary, and valued member of X-Force. Using her ability to alter luck in her favor, as well as her natural fighting prowess and weapon wielding skills, she comes as a welcome addition to the X-Men.
