'''''X-Men: Legacy''''' is a [[comic book]] series published by [[Marvel Comics]] featuring the [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] [[superhero]] team the [[X-Men]].

The title began its publication in October [[1991 in comics|1991]] as '''''X-Men'''''. From [[2001 in comics|2001]] until [[2004 in comics|2004]] it was published as '''''[[New X-Men (2001 series)|New X-Men]]'''''. It had reverted from issue #157 to its original title ''X-Men'', but changed again from issue #208 to ''X-Men: Legacy''. Prior to the name change, the series is usually referred to as '''''X-Men'' (vol. 2)''' because the first series, ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'', was titled ''The X-Men'' prior to [[1981 in comics|1981]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20070616114829/http://www.timberdonkey.com/x-men/uxm/142.php The first issue of ''X-Men'' (vol. 1) to be named ''Uncanny X-Men'']}}</ref> In addition, a new unrelated ongoing series titled ''[[X-Men (comic book)|X-Men]]'' was later released starting in [[2010 in comics|2010]], and is generally referred to as ''X-Men'' (vol. 3).

''X-Men: Legacy'' was relaunched in [[2012 in comics|2012]] as part of [[Marvel NOW!]] with a new issue #1. The new volume, written by [[Simon Spurrier]], focuses on [[Legion (Marvel Comics)|Legion]], son of the recently deceased [[Professor X]], and his mission to preemptively help mutantkind while attempting to get his many personalities under control.<ref name="MarvelNOW">{{cite web |url=http://marvel.com/news/story/19207/marvel_now_qa_x-men_legacy |title=Marvel NOW!

In [[1991 in comics|1991]], Marvel launched ''X-Men'' (vol. 2) as a spin-off of the parent title ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'', with co-writers [[Chris Claremont]] and [[Jim Lee]], previously the [[penciler]] on ''Uncanny'', moving over to ''X-Men'', while studio mate [[Whilce Portacio]] took over penciling duties on ''Uncanny''. ''X-Men'' #1 is still the bestselling comic book of all time, with pre-order sales of over 8.1 million copies, according to [[Guinness Book of World Records]], which presented honors to Claremont at the 2010 [[San Diego Comic-Con]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Morse |first=Ben |date=August 10, 2010 |title=SDCC 2010: Marvel Breaks World Record |url=https://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.13598.sdcc_2010~colon~_marvel_breaks_world_record |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100818014508/https://www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.13598.sdcc_2010~colon~_marvel_breaks_world_record |archive-date=August 18, 2010 |website=Marvel.com |type=[[Press release]]}}</ref><ref>Johnson, Rich.

Chris Claremont left after three issues due to creative differences with editor [[Bob Harras]].<ref>Foege, Alec. [http://nymag.com/nymetro/arts/features/3522/ "The X-Men Files"], ''[[New York Magazine]]'', July 17, 2000</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Harth |first=David |date=2024-04-12 |title=A Guide To Reading '90s X-Men Comics |url=https://www.cbr.com/xmen-nineties-comics-reading-guide-starting-points/ |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=CBR |language=en}}</ref> Writers [[John Byrne (comics)|John Byrne]] and [[Scott Lobdell]] handled dialogue to Lee's plotting after Claremont's departure, and Lee himself left the title after issue #11 to form a new company, [[Image Comics]] with several other Marvel artists.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} Various creative teams contributed to the series from 1992 to 2001, with notable writers including [[Fabian Nicieza]], Scott Lobdell, and [[Joe Kelly (comics writer)|Joe Kelly]], with Chris Claremont returning to the title for a short run ten years after his original departure. Artists included [[Andy Kubert]], and [[Carlos Pacheco]] among many others.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

Initially, the book focused on the Blue team led by Cyclops, with the other members forming the Gold team led by [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]]. This premise has at times faded from mention, only to be resurrected, with the X-Men divided at times into two and even three separate squads. Important events and crossovers covered by the series include the wedding of Jean Grey and Cyclops, [[X-Cutioner's Song]], the [[Legacy virus]], [[Fatal Attractions (comics)|Fatal Attractions]], [[Legion Quest]] and Onslaught.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} The series was interrupted and replaced by ''[[Amazing X-Men]]'' for four issues in 1995 as part of the [[Age of Apocalypse]] crossover.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

===''New X-Men''===
{{main|New X-Men (2001 series)}}
In July 2001 during a revamp of the X-Men franchise, ''X-Men'' (vol. 2) was retitled to ''New X-Men'' starting with issue 114, featuring an [[ambigram]] logo. Along with these modifications, a new writer, [[Grant Morrison]], was assigned to the title. These changes by the newly appointed [[Marvel Comics]] editor-in-chief, [[Joe Quesada]], reflected his idea for flagship titles like ''X-Men'' to regain some of their former glory, as well as regaining critical acclaim.<ref name="tcj">{{Cite news |last=Deppey |first=Dirk |date=2004 |title=X-Men... Retreat! (Part 1 of 2) |url=https://www.tcj.com/262/e_jista.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060505022850/https://www.tcj.com/262/e_jista.html |archive-date=May 5, 2006 |work=[[The Comics Journal]] |issue=262}}</ref>

Morrison's tenure on the title dealt with [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]], [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]], [[Jean Grey|Phoenix]], [[Beast (comics)|Beast]], [[Emma Frost]] and [[Xorn]]. While the second squad of X-Men in ''[[Uncanny X-Men|Uncanny]]'' continued on as (now undercover) super heroes, [[Grant Morrison]] redirected these X-Men's mission to that of teachers. Additionally, ''New X-Men'' artist [[Frank Quitely]] redesigned the look of the team, giving them sleek, leather / polyester outfits instead of their traditional superhero uniforms for a more contemporary look and feel.<ref name=tcj />

Some more of the long-lasting changes that occurred during Morrison's run were the [[secondary mutation]] of Beast to resemble a lion-like rather than his former ape-like appearance, and Emma Frost introduced as a member of the team, recreating the ties between Jean Grey and the Phoenix (retconning the retcon), and the death of Phoenix. The school expanded from simply a training center to a legitimate school with dozens of mutant students, a story idea that was first explored in the X-Men film. One of the more controversial events of ''New X-Men'' happened in issue #115 when the island of [[Genosha]] and its inhabitants, including [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]], were completely destroyed. This set the tone that dominated the rest of Morrison's tenure on the book.<ref name=tcj />

In June 2004, [[Chuck Austen]], previously the writer of ''Uncanny X-Men'', moved to ''New X-Men'' with issue #155.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} The title of the series reverted to its original title of ''X-Men'' in July 2004 with issue #157 during the "[[X-Men Reload]]" event. [[Peter Milligan]] became the new writer of the series with issue #166 and was replaced by [[Mike Carey (writer)|Mike Carey]] with issue #188.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

===''X-Men: Legacy''===
====Volume 1====
The title was renamed '''''X-Men: Legacy''''' starting in February 2008 with issue #208.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 20, 2007 |title=Marvel Comics Solicitations for February 2008 |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=12000 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080502171540/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=12000 |archive-date=May 2, 2008 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2008-02-27 |title=X-Men Legacy #208 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/02/27/x-men-legacy-208-review |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref> The new title reflects a shift in the series direction to focusing on solo X-Men characters versus being a team-based book as the title was previously.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

The re-titled series follows on from the conclusion of the ''[[X-Men: Messiah Complex|Messiah Complex]]'' crossover, where Professor X was accidentally shot in the head by [[Bishop (comics)|Bishop]]. Shortly after the X-Men presumed him deceased, his body disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown. ''X-Men: Legacy'' initially followed the Professor's presumed road to recovery as well as the encounters he faced, such as a battle with the mutant [[Exodus (comics)|Exodus]] on the [[astral plane|psychic plane]]<ref>[http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=206684 Divided we stand in April: Declassified], [[Comic Book Resources]] Forums</ref> and discoveries about his past that include [[Mr. Sinister]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

Many characters have been featured in the title, including [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]], [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]], [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]], and the [[Acolytes (comics)|Acolytes]]. The title also featured flashbacks relevant to the ongoing present story as well as answered dangling plot lines throughout X-Men [[Continuity (fiction)|continuity]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}

As of issue #226, [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]] replaced Professor Xavier as the central character. Having now achieved control over her absorption powers, Scott Summers ([[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]]) has repositioned Rogue as mentor to the younger mutants under the protection of the X-Men on Utopia. Rogue is in the unique position to be able to help the students, due to her abilities, allowing fresh insight to their use and control. She has so far, also, been shown to face off against notable deadly adversaries including: [[Emplate]] and [[Proteus (Marvel Comics)|Proteus]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} She also took part in the ''[[X-Men: Second Coming]]'' crossover, acknowledging her special link to [[Hope Summers (comics)|Hope]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

The title was one of two ongoing books to house the [[Age of X]] crossover. The comic briefly followed the fallout from that story and featured a team composed of [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]], [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]], [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]], [[Professor X]], [[Legion (Marvel Comics)|Legion]], and [[Joanna Cargill|Frenzy]], but now follows Rogue's team of X-Men affiliated with the [[Jean Grey School for Higher Learning]], featuring Gambit, Frenzy, [[Cannonball (comics)|Cannonball]] and [[Rachel Grey]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

====Volume 2====
As part of the [[Marvel NOW!]] relaunch event, Volume 1 of ''X-Men: Legacy'' ended with issue #275. The ''X-Men: Legacy'' title was relaunched as a new series with a new issue #1, written by [[Simon Spurrier]] and penciled by Tan Eng Huat. The new series focused on [[Legion (Marvel Comics)|Legion]], the son of the recently murdered Charles Xavier, who is struggling to keep his multitude of personalities under control while trying to honor his father's legacy by preemptively fighting off threats to mutants using his many powers.<ref name="MarvelNOW"/>

The 25th issue of the volume was renumbered #300 to commemorate the longevity of the series. Issue #300 features a plot by a collaboration between the three ''X-Men: Legacy'' writers, Mike Carey, Christos Gage and Simon Spurrier. This is also the final issue of ''X-Men: Legacy''.<ref name="Newsarama"/>

A third volume of ''X-Men: Legacy'' was planned, to be written by [[Chris Claremont]].  However, that series was renamed ''[[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]]'' after its featured character.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=50308|title=Chris Claremont Returns to the X-Men with "Nightcrawler" Ongoing Series |date=15 January 2014 |publisher=Newsarama |access-date=2 February 2014}}</ref>

==Relationship with other X-Men titles==
Since the introduction of ''X-Men'', the plotlines of this series and other X-Books have been interwoven to varying degrees. For most of its run, ''X-Men'' has featured a completely different team of X-Men than other titles featuring the X-Men. While it was not uncommon for characters of one book to appear in the other, any major stories concerning characters were dealt with in their own team book.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

''X-Men'' and ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' have shared two periods of time where they were more or less treated as a single, fortnightly series. In both of these cases they shared an author: 1995 to 1996 by [[Scott Lobdell]] and 1999 to 2000 by [[Alan Davis]]. During these times, the plotlines from ''X-Men'' and ''Uncanny X-Men'' led directly into each other.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

In July 2004, the cast of ''New X-Men'' was moved to the newly relaunched ''[[Astonishing X-Men]]'', and most of the cast of the ''Uncanny X-Men'' was transferred to ''X-Men'', vol. 2. With three main X-Men series running concurrently, members from each book continue to appear in the other titles.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

[[Charles Xavier|Professor X]] is the Headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and mentor to the X-Men, but he is rarely a field operative of the team. In his role as mentor he has typically been present in the book, but he has notable absences, including issues #59–71 (in government custody after [[Onslaught (Marvel Comics)|the Onslaught crisis]]) and #99–106 (educating [[Cadre K]] in space).

At many times the team roster has been the same as that appearing in ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' and during two periods, the two books have even been treated by their writer as a single bi-weekly title (issues #46–69 by [[Scott Lobdell]] and issues #85–99 by [[Alan Davis]]).

During issues #90–93 [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] was replaced by a [[Skrull]] infiltrator, leading to the storylines [[Apocalypse: The Twelve|"The Shattering" and "The Twelve"]] and the ''[[Astonishing X-Men]]'' (vol. 2) limited series.

Gambit's group of students appeared prominently in issues #171–174, featuring the debuts of future recurring characters [[Onyxx]] and [[Bling (comics)|Bling!]]

After moving to [[Utopia (comics)|Utopia]] in issue #227, Rogue became mentor to the various X-Men-in-training, who regularly appeared in issues alongside her.
