Notable additions to the X-Men have been Emma Frost, Sage, Chamber, Northstar, Husk, Warpath, Caliban, Hepzibah, X-23 and Omega Sentinel. This decade ... included former villains becoming X-Men such as Juggernaut, Mystique, Sabretooth and Lady Mastermind. Several short-lived spin-offs and mini-series started featuring several X-Men in solo series, such as Mystique, Emma Frost, Gambit, Rogue, Nightcrawler. Another book, Exiles, started at the same time but continues to this day. Cable and Deadpool's books were also rolled into one book, called Cable and Deadpool. A third core X-Men title was also introduced called Astonishing X-Men, written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, following Morrison's departure.

Lacking the tongue-in-cheek camp of the later Batman films and other recent comic books-turned movies, X-Men draws the audience into its world of mutants and superpowers, and prevents it from becoming tacky or absurd. Not to say that there isn't any humour in the film, in fact it delivers some of the best one liners in a film this year.

Its first issues were written by longstanding X-Men writer Chris Claremont and drawn and co-plotted by superstar artist Jim Lee. Another new X-book released at the time was X-Force featuring the characters from the The New Mutants led by Cable written by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza. However internal friction soon split the X-Books' creative teams. Claremont left after only three issues of X-Men due to clashes with Lee and the Marvel editors... ending his sixteen-year run as X-Men writer. In his void, Fabian Nicieza and Scott Lobdell would take over the majority of writing duties for the X-Men. Months later, Lee and Rob Liefeld would leave Marvel with several other popular artists (including former X-Men artists Marc Silvestri and Whilce Portacio) to form Image Comics.
