History ComicBook / XMen2021

[[caption-width-right:350:The new X-Men team, pictured here summoning WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet.[[note]]Left to right, counterclockwise: ComicBook/JeanGrey, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, [[ComicBook/GenerationX Synch]], [[ComicBook/{{X23}} Wolverine]], ComicBook/{{Polaris}}, and [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Sunfire]].[[/note]]]]

* FlamesOfLove: In issue #30, [[spoiler:Cyclops has a vision of himself making love with Jean Grey on a burning bedroom. She then tells him [[FieryRedhead ''she'' is the fire]].]]

* SharingABody: [[spoiler:Before the High Evolutionary could vaporize Talon in issue #30, Synch used Jean's powers to transfer her consciousness into his mind like a living Cerebro. This results in Laura "surviving" as a [[Characters/Cyberpunk2077JohnnySilverhand Johnny Silverhand-esque]] [[TheDisembodied disembodied ghost]] stuck inside Everett's head until he can come up with a solution to unload her onto a new body.]]

* BadassBystander: The townspeople in the Kansas town that the Annihilation Wave invaded in the second issue aren't going to let the X-Men fight alone -- not when they have rifles and shotguns. In fact, they help shoot the aliens and then, after Sunfire burns the rest of the Wave and saves the town, invite the X-Men to stay for some Kansas barbeque.

* CloningBlues:
** Cyclops gets a hard case of this [[spoiler:in issue #6. A subversion, as when the government votes with overwhelming majority that you can't be who you were, what can you do?]]
** When the "original" Laura Kinney finally meets with the current Laura who replaced her and joined up with the [[ComicBook/XTerminators2022 X-Terminators]], the latter is not surprised at all that the former is still alive because they NeverFoundTheBody and is distressed from the implications of [[TomatoInTheMirror what that means for herself]]. While both Lauras eventually reach a compromise on their continued coexistence [[note]](New Laura keeps the Wolverine mantle, Old Laura becomes the sole beneficiary of the resurrection protocol.)[[/note]], the older Laura makes it clear to her younger counterpart that she ''never'' wants to see her again, with the feeling heavily implied to be mutual.

* GroinAttack: Mother Righteous launches a devastating downward pumch to a seated Dr. Stasis's family jewels, after she was unimpressed with his little dinner ritual with the clones of his wife and son.

'''''X-Men (2021)''''' is a 2021 comic book series by Creator/MarvelComics, written by Creator/GerryDuggan, with art by Pepe Larraz.

!Tropes included in ''X-Men (2021)'':

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Kate utters [[PunctuatedForEmphasis “Are. You. Kidding. Me.”]] after [[spoiler: learning that Firestar was told to be the Orchis mole by Jean. Thankfully, she believes her]].

-->-- '''Phil Urich''', ''X-Men'' (2021) #1

* GenderEqualEnsemble: Almost, but not quite: since the team is ''seven'' members, there are four women (Jean Grey, Rogue, Wolverine, Polaris) to three men (Cyclops, Sunfire, Synch). This is flipped with the team’s second line up of Jean Grey, Firestar, Magik, Cyclops, Havok, Iceman, and Forge.

* IntrepidReporter: Phil Urich, a longstanding Daily Bugle reporter, meets Cyclops at the Treehouse to ask him questions. At first it seems very friendly, but the last question he asks is about Jumbo Carnation...and how he came back from the dead. Because Phil saw his body and he was ''definitely'' dead.

* MeaningfulName: As Phil Urich notes, the X-Men calling their new park "Seneca Gardens" is a clear reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Village Seneca Village]], a 19th century settlement of mostly African-American landowners who were removed and the village torn down when Central Park was established.

* ForeShadowing: Rogue says she can't stand Mystique babbling things like "mutants walking through a gate and never returning." Cue [[spoiler: ComicBook/FallOfX....]]
