X-Men Era Three: The New Mutants (1982-1986)

The X-Men may have always been a superhero team, but most of them were also teenagers who began their tenure as students in a school. So it was only natural that any time students graduated, new students would be needed. Like the generations before them, the New Mutants had their share of memorable encounters in this first era of their careers. From fighting the Demon Bear, to confronting Professor Xavier’s lost (and very troubled) son, Legion, to visiting Asgard to take on Loki and the Enchantress, readers were treated with a consistent stream of weird and mezmerizing high-stakes adventures. Perhaps the most impactful of them all would be the kidnapping, aging, and corruption of Colossus’ little sister Illyana into the Darkchylde sorceress, Magik.

There was a lot going on in this era besides the early adventures of the New Mutants, however. First, the X-Men found themselves the stars of their first graphic novel in the classic God Loves, Man Kills. The Beyonder captured all of Earth’s greatest heroes and villains and had them fight each other in the first Secret Wars. Kitty Pride went to Japan with Wolverine and became a ninja. Magneto was put on trial by the world for his crimes. The Beyonder, apparently not satisfied with destroying planets and causing a war for his own amusement, came to Earth and, among many other things, had a showdown with the new host of the Phoenix, Rachel Summers. It was a wild, fun, and fresh era for our favorite mutant crew, and it seemed like just about anything was possible.
