-->'''Sam:''' [[CaptainObvious You're upset]].
-->'''Doug:''' How would you feel if a supposed pal yanks you out of a sound sleep, informs you he's a mutant -- and YOU'RE a mutant -- and flies you to his place to establish a meaningful dialogue with a potentially hostile alien?! Sheesh!!

Professor X left the school due to events in ''Uncanny X-Men'' and was replaced as Headmaster by former nemesis turned ally Magneto.

Louise Simonson took over as the new writer with issue #55, with her run seeing the characters initially seem to regress in age and maturity; however, her run soon took a dark turn with the death of Cypher. Magma left the team around this time as well. Gosamyr, an alien CharmPerson, was added to the team shortly afterwards but written out just as quickly.

Creator/RobLiefeld came aboard as the series' new artist with issue #86 and shot some new energy into the book, as his creative energies would quickly overwhelm the pages – there was nothing else like him at the time, and his extreme linework, flashy cyborgs and armoured characters were very unique in the era before the [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks Iron Age Of Comics]]. The cyborg character named ComicBook/{{Cable}} was soon introduced as a new mentor figure for the team, preaching a more [[DarkerAndEdgier militaristic and extreme]] approach to heroics; Mirage remained behind in Asgard, while Rusty and Skids were brainwashed by the new villain team known as the Mutant Liberation Front.
Louise Simonson's run as writer ended with the crossover ''X-Tinction Agenda'', which saw the death of Warlock and the departure of Wolfsbane to join ComicBook/XFactor. Rob Liefeld took over plotting duties for the book as of issue #98, with Fabian Nicieza scripting the dialogue. Over the course of those final three issues, Liefeld set about transforming the book into the much more edgy and gritty ''ComicBook/XForce'', dropping Sunspot and Rictor from the team while adding ex-Hellion member Warpath as well as his original creations of Domino, Shatterstar and Feral, as well as helping introduce everyone’s favorite Merc with A Mouth, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, to the world. ''New Mutants'' ended with issue #100, and ''X-Force'' began with issue #1 four months later. For more on that series, see [[ComicBook/XForce its own page]].
The second ''New Mutants'' series, launched in 2003 and written by Nunzio [=DeFilippis=] and Christina Weir, featured another group of teenaged mutants - air-controlling Wind Dancer, skill-copying Prodigy, super-fast energetic Surge, healer Elixir, emotion-controlling Wallflower, and flying Icarus - but unlike the original New Mutants, they were only part of a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters huge cast of students]] at the Xavier Institute. At first they were notable for their drive to become superheroes, but soon rival groups played a large role in the series. Mirage and Wolfsbane of the original New Mutants had become teachers at Xavier's Institute and had problems coming to terms with the fact they were now the "old guard” in the eyes of the new generation. In 2004 the comic was relaunched as ''Comicbook/NewXMenAcademyX'' – for all tropes relating to this incarnation of the team, see that page.
The third ''New Mutants'' series written by Zeb Wells, reuniting most of the original team, launched in May of 2009. This new series incorporated a few elements from both ''New X-Men'' and the limited series ''X-Infernus'', beginning with the return of Magik and the New Mutants being reassigned to help her blend back into mutant community. This was problematic, considering that, after their last two encounters, the youngest generation of X-Men ''hated her guts''. The team roster quickly expanded with addition of Warlock and return of Cypher. After his defeat at their hand, Legion became their supporting character and unofficial member of the team. The series has been focusing on a larger MythArc about upcoming threat from Limbo, with occasional tie-ins to various [[BatFamilyCrossover X-overs]] and one guest-written tie in to [[ComicBook/DarkReign Siege]].
After Wells' departure, this series was taken first by Creator/MikeCarey, as a part of his ''Age Of X'' storyline, during which he introduced an alternate reality with a much darker history [[spoiler: which was later revealed to be a LotusEaterMachine all present had been dragged into by one of Legion's personalities]], and later by Creator/DanAbnett and Andy Lanning. In face of all their accomplishments Cyclops decided to not disband the team (despite three members leaving as [[spoiler:Karma lost a leg, Cannonball was traumatized by events from Wells and Carey's runs and Magik had to be restrained after she manipulated her friends and almost got them killed for personal vendetta]]) and to make their new mission taking care of all the loose ends that remained unresolved after the threats the X-Men faced and making sure they won't come to haunt them again (in other words, he made them a less lethal and more moral version of the third ''ComicBook/XForce''). This started with the retrieval of [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], who'd been trapped in the Omega Machine since his encounter with Norman Osborn and was being tortured/used to open portals by Sugar Man. He was rescued, but underwent a significant DePower that chopped his formerly near cosmic levels of power back to 'residual telekinesis'. Lacking other options, he joined the team. This volume lasted until issue 50 where it was cancelled. Much of the team subsequently became cast members in other series as of the "ComicBook/MarvelNOW" relaunch.
The fourth ''New Mutants'' series, written by Jonathan Hickman and Ed Brisson, began in 2019 as part of the ''ComicBook/DawnOfX'' relaunch. It features Magik, Sunspot, Cypher (merged with Warlock), Mirage, Karma, Wolfsbane and Cannonball alongside former ComicBook/GenerationX members Chamber and Mondo together on a mission in outer space; meanwhile, a parallel story on Earth stars Boom-Boom along with former [[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]] member Armor and others.

The second ''New Mutants'' series, launched in 2003 and written by Nunzio [=DeFilippis=] and Christina Weir, featured another group of teenaged mutants - air-controlling Wind Dancer, skill-copying Prodigy, super-fast energetic Surge, healer Elixir, emotion-controlling Wallflower, and flying Icarus - but unlike the original New Mutants, they were only part of a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters huge cast of students]] at the Xavier Institute. At first they were notable for their drive to become superheroes, but soon rival groups played a large role in the series. Mirage and Wolfsbane of the original New Mutants had become teachers at Xavier's Institute and had problems coming to terms with the fact they were now the "old guard” in the eyes of the new generation. In 2004 the comic was relaunched as ''Comicbook/NewXMenAcademyX'' – for all tropes relating to this incarnation of the team, see that page.
The third ''New Mutants'' series written by Zeb Wells, reuniting most of the original team, launched in May of 2009. This new series incorporated a few elements from both ''New X-Men'' and the limited series ''X-Infernus'', beginning with the return of Magik and the New Mutants being reassigned to help her blend back into mutant community. This was problematic, considering that, after their last two encounters, the youngest generation of X-Men ''hated her guts''. The team roster quickly expanded with addition of Warlock and return of Cypher. After his defeat at their hand, Legion became their supporting character and unofficial member of the team. The series has been focusing on a larger MythArc about upcoming threat from Limbo, with occasional tie-ins to various [[BatFamilyCrossover X-overs]] and one guest-written tie in to [[ComicBook/DarkReign Siege]].
After Wells' departure, this series was taken first by Creator/MikeCarey, as a part of his ''Age Of X'' storyline, during which he introduced an alternate reality with a much darker history [[spoiler: which was later revealed to be a LotusEaterMachine all present had been dragged into by one of Legion's personalities]], and later by Creator/DanAbnett and Andy Lanning. In face of all their accomplishments Cyclops decided to not disband the team (despite three members leaving as [[spoiler:Karma lost a leg, Cannonball was traumatized by events from Wells and Carey's runs and Magik had to be restrained after she manipulated her friends and almost got them killed for personal vendetta]]) and to make their new mission taking care of all the loose ends that remained unresolved after the threats the X-Men faced and making sure they won't come to haunt them again (in other words, he made them a less lethal and more moral version of the third ''ComicBook/XForce''). This started with the retrieval of [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], who'd been trapped in the Omega Machine since his encounter with Norman Osborn and was being tortured/used to open portals by Sugar Man. He was rescued, but underwent a significant DePower that chopped his formerly near cosmic levels of power back to 'residual telekinesis'. Lacking other options, he joined the team. This volume lasted until issue 50 where it was cancelled. Much of the team subsequently became cast members in other series as of the "ComicBook/MarvelNOW" relaunch.
The fourth ''New Mutants'' series, written by Jonathan Hickman and Ed Brisson, began in 2019 as part of the ''ComicBook/DawnOfX'' relaunch. It features Magik, Sunspot, Cypher (merged with Warlock), Mirage, Karma, Wolfsbane and Cannonball alongside former ComicBook/GenerationX members Chamber and Mondo together on a mission in outer space; meanwhile, a parallel story on Earth stars Boom-Boom along with former [[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]] member Armor and others.

Creator/RobLiefeld came aboard as
Louise Simonson's run as writer ended with the crossover ''X-Tinction Agenda'', which saw the death of Warlock and the departure of Wolfsbane to join ComicBook/XFactor. Rob Liefeld took over plotting duties for the book as of issue #98, with Fabian Nicieza scripting the dialogue. Over the course of those final three issues, Liefeld set about transforming the book into the much more edgy and gritty ''ComicBook/XForce'', dropping Sunspot and Rictor from the team while adding ex-Hellion member Warpath as well as his original creations of Domino, Shatterstar and Feral, as well as helping introduce everyone’s favorite Merc with A Mouth, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, to the world.
