The X-Men’s entire deal is mutation. Over their sixty-one-year history, the team has gone through many of the greatest creators in the history of the medium, with brilliant stories that made the X-Men number one for years. While the 1990s were the biggest boom time for the X-Men, they aren’t very lauded for the quality of the stories, something that would change in the 2000s. Chris Claremont returned for what some would consider a lackluster run, but things started to look up in 2001. Writer Grant Morrison took over X-Men, Joe Casey was put on Uncanny, and rising star Mark Millar was writing Ultimate X-Men. Casey left Uncanny not long after coming on the book and was replaced by writer Chuck Austen.The X-Men from 2001 to 2004 was an extremely mixed bag. Morrison’s New X-Men was critically lauded, although artist problems bogged down the run in its early stages, and Austen’s Uncanny is considered the worst X-Men run ever by many. Editorial clashes would see Morrison leave New X-Men in 2004, and things were about to get very interesting for Marvel’s merry mutants in the years between 2004 and 2009. In many ways, it was something of a dark age for the X-Men, despite having some rather dizzying highs.For fans of Morrison’s run and the changes they made to the book, things were suddenly going to get very strange. The first issue of Excalibur revealed that Magneto was actually alive and had never joined the Xavier Institute as Xorn. Meanwhile, Austen’s first X-Men story would introduce Shen Xorn, revealing that the Xorn who had joined the X-Men was his mutant twin, Kuan-Yin Xorn. Creating two new mutants to explain away Magneto’s death seemed strange when they could just resurrect him or reveal it was some kind of trick like they usually did. Marvel completely nuking Morrison’s legacy on X-Men in the months after they left seemed rather spiteful. While fans back then didn’t know about the bad blood between Morrison and Marvel’s editorial, many fans still found it odd that major plot points were being invalidated almost immediately.
