While it seems hard to believe now, the X-Men weren’t always Marvel’s biggest cash cow. Yet Marvel was willing to take the right risks to bring the team to the top. With Giant-Size X-Men #1, they introduced a brand-new team and shook things up in a way that paid off for them for decades to come.Through the years, there have been several X-Men comics that seem like a great idea now, but were certainly creatively risky at the time. Yet it’s through taking risks that the X-Men continue to see newer heights, as Marvel pushes what fans think is possible with their biggest super-team. More than that, it’s kept the X-Men relevant through the decades, as each time they tried something risky, it kept things from ever getting stale.Playing off the mutant-hatred stories that had become common, Jean Grey assembled the original team to carry on Xavier’s dream in secret. They pretended to be mutant hunters, allowing them to get tips from the very people who hated them, only to swoop in and grab young mutants before any harm could come to them. It was a fun idea that allowed the idea of a “secret identity” to take on an entirely different meaning for a time.
