the x-men are a group of superheroes in the marvel comics universe. the monthly x-men comic book debuted in 1963, along with the team itself. that series is now titled uncanny x-men and is best known by that name. due to the x-men's immense popularity, marvel has launched dozens of spin-off series, called âx-books,â throughout the years. like uncanny x-men, most x-books feature mutants, human beings born with extraordinary powers due to a quantum leap in genetic evolution. some x-books feature mutant superhero teams while others feature solo adventures of characters who became popular in uncanny x-men or another x-book. occasionally, x-books use mutants as a metaphor for racial, religious and other minorities oppressed by society. for the purpose of this list, âx-men comicsâ will be defined by the following criteria: * the series was meant to continue indefinitely, was not a limited series. for limited series, see list of x-men limited series. * the series featured mostly characters associated with and/or concepts originating in uncanny x-men or another x-book, thus the defenders and the champions, which featured both x-men-related and non-x-men related characters will not be counted and neither will series which occasionally featured the x-men characters, such as marvel comics presents, marvel team-up and what if? __notoc__  ==a== *a+x (2012â2014) *adventures of the x-men (1996â1997), (all-new stories continuing the continuity of the fox networkâs x-men animated series) *age of apocalypse (2012â2013) *agent x (2002â2003), (continued from deadpool) *all-new x-men, (2012âpresent) *all-new x-factor, (2014âpresent), (continued from x-factor, vol. 3) *alpha flight, vol. 1 (1983â1994) *alpha flight, vol. 2 (1997â1999) *alpha flight, vol. 3 (2004â2005) * amazing x-men, vol. 2 (2013âpresent) *astonishing x-men, vol. 3 (2004â2013) ==b== *bishop: the last x-man (1999â2001) *the brotherhood (2001-2002) ==c== *cable, vol. 1 (1993â2002) (continued in soldier x) *cable, vol. 2 (2008â2010) *cable & deadpool (2004â2008) *cable and x-force
