How the Uncanny X-Men will be whole again in Marvel Comics
By Mark Lynch
This is how the X-Men will be an Uncanny team again.
The X-Men haven’t been the same in years. Their team has had some dramatic changes and over the years. M-Day destroyed the mutant gene in 90% of the world’s population. Beast left after Cyclops left him to be tortured for days (Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia). Wolverine wanted to give the children another option other than fighting and opened the Jean Grey School (Schism).
Maybe the final straw was Cyclops leaving after being possessed by the Phoenix Force and killing his mentor and father figure Professor Xavier (Avengers VS X-Men). There were more than a few X-Men teams over the years, but it just didn’t seem like the X-Men would ever be whole again. Well, good news X-Men fans. The Uncanny X-Men are making their comeback after a long hiatus.
Marvel has been going on a run and bringing back all the things that make people happy. The Fantastic Four have returned, Wolverine is back from the dead, Spider-Man is broke again, and now Marvel’s Mightiest mutants are returning. Marvel may have called this a fresh start, but this was really just Marvel getting back to basics. With Uncanny X-Men coming back the X-Men: Disassembled story-line coming out there need if the Uncanny X-Men are going to succeed.
