History ComicBook / NewXMen

* MakeMeWannaShout: When the European branch of the X-Corporation is cornered by Weapon XII's possessed minions in a subway tunnel, Siryn lets out a massive sonic scream that knocks all the enemies away and gives the team a chance to escape. Unfortunately, said action put too much strain on her vocal chords, with Xavier worriedly commenting that her throat is bleeding too much and ordering Cannonball to take her somewhere safe while he takes over the mission.

* InformedAbility: The Beast says that he will give the Crawlers, among other abilities, "voices which can shatter stones and bones and flesh". This heavily implies that said creatures inherited Siryn's [[MakeMeWannaShout super scream]], though they were never seen using it.

* CloningBlues: The Stepford Cuckoos have this to some extent. In particular, Esme ends up taking Kick so she can feel like an individual, and she ultimately rebels against the X-Men and joins Magneto. It's understandable that all of them might have some doubts about themselves, though, since [[spoiler: they were actually bred as weapons by Weapon Plus]].

* ArcWelding: "Assault on Weapon Plus" established that Weapon X along with [[ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain Project: Homegrown]] were part of the larger Weapon Plus Program which began in 1940 with "[[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Project: Rebirth]]".

** ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and [[ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain Nuke]] briefly appear in the "Assault on Weapon Plus" arc, as Wolverine browses through pictures of Weapon Plus' past test subjects.

* {{Satan}}: Sublime is an ancient creature who deceives humans to possess and rule the world though the body of a man known as "the Beast" in an apocalyptic future. Morrison would recycle a number of phrases used to describe Sublime, such as "hole in things" and "true enemy," for Doctor Hurt, the LouisCypher BigBad of his run on ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}''.

* FrenchJerk: Subverted with Fantomex, who enjoys annoying the other heroes with his heavy French accent, but has no ties to France whatsoever.
* FutureBadass: Beak's grandson Tito Bohusk Jr. is essentially Beak with full control over his flight powers--and ''without'' the angst or social awkwardness. And three feet taller.

''New X-Men'' (2001-2004) is a comic book series from Creator/MarvelComics, written by Creator/GrantMorrison, which follows the ComicBook/XMen's "Blue Team" as they attempt to stop several new threats against both mutants and mankind.

Morrison's run made lasting changes to the franchise, but certain controversial twists were swiftly {{retcon}}ned by Marvel after it ended. The series reverted back to the original ''X-Men'' title with issue #157, after Morrison's departure.

** Brian and his car are named after ''Brian's Magic Car'', a song by English post-punk band Television Personalities.

* OffModel: In issues that were illustrated by Igor Kordey, the characters look noticeably different and borderline deformed.
** For most of the "Imperial" arc, Wolverine is drawn with overly large eyes that are also too far apart from each other.
** When Jean and Professor X first meet Fantomex, the first two are drawn with an identical facial structure, resulting in the woman looking much older and more masculine.
** During Emma Frost and Cyclops' first "therapy session", the former is drawn with an abnormally large forehead.
** Jean in the last panel of issue #130 has a massive upper lip, and the shadows in her chin are drawn with rough lines that make it appear as if she has a beard.

Morrison's run was part of the second volume of the 1991 ''[[ComicBook/XMen1991 X-Men]]'' series, with a [[NewSeasonNewTitle title change to reflect the new direction]], but retaining the series' existing numbering (the first issue of Morrison's retitled series was #114). Morrison, a critically-acclaimed writer known for their high-profile works at Creator/DCComics, was brought onboard to revitalize the title and introduce a number of new story elements. Morrison started as they meant to go on, as the new villain Cassandra Nova directed an army of Sentinels to destroy the mutant island Genosha, resulting in [[WhamEpisode sixteen million mutant deaths]] and a shake-up to the status quo.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. Beak explains that no superheroes can assist the X-Men during the battle of New York because [[spoiler:Magneto]] had sent them on a wild-goose chase before seizing the city. After they left, the villain erected a magnetic shield around the city, preventing anyone from entering [[note]]Though there's still no explanation for why Spider-Man, Luke Cage and or/Daredevil don't get involved[[/note]].

''New X-Men'' (2001-2004) is an American comic book series written by Creator/GrantMorrison, which follows the ComicBook/XMen's "Blue Team" as they attempt to stop several new threats against both mutants and mankind.

The series was a retitling of the then-ongoing second volume of the ''X-Men'' series which began in the early 1990s and shared the series' numbering. Morrison, a critically-acclaimed writer known for their high-profile works at Creator/DCComics, was brought onboard to revitalize the title and introduce a number of new story elements. Morrison started as they meant to go on, as the new villain Cassandra Nova directed an army of Sentinels to destroy the mutant island Genosha, resulting in [[WhamEpisode sixteen million mutant deaths]] and a shake-up to the status quo.

The book resulted in a re-energizing of the franchise, and was critically and commercially acclaimed. However, certain controversial twists were hastily {{retcon}}ned by Marvel after the run due to fan backlash. The series reverted back to the original ''X-Men'' title beginning at issue #157.

Not to be confused for ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'' (which later went by ''New X-Men'' in its later issues), or ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen''.

* GoodWingsEvilWings: In the final arc, the villain's minions all have bat wings that highlight their evil nature. In contrast, the female mutant that assists survivors at the Xavier Institute has angelic wings.

* EstablishingSeriesMoment: One of the first pages of the series features Cyclops and Wolverine battling a classic-era Sentinel while Ugly John (an ordinary mutant [[BlessedWithSuck cursed with grotesque physical deformities, but no powers]]) cowers in the foreground; this is immediately followed by a scene of Cassandra Nova meeting with Donald Trask, where we're introduced to a strange ''new'' breed of Sentinel that looks radically different. This immediately establishes the series as a radical reinvention of ''ComicBook/XMen'' that strives to put a new spin on old ideas, and focuses (in large part) on the lives of ordinary mutants who aren't {{superhero}}es.

* KillEmAll: The ending of the "Here Comes Tomorrow" arc. [[spoiler:Everyone at the Xavier Institute dies due to a Feeder infestation, the X-Men are murdered by Sublime, and Beast is killed by Apollyon. The only survivor is Jean, who amputates that timeline from the multiverse and rewrites the past to ensure that the dystopic future never comes to]].

* PiecesOfGod: Jean Grey uses Cerebra to take a dying Charles Xavier's consciousness and put a fragment of it into the mind of every mutant on Earth. [[spoiler:Then he's able to retake his own body when [[GrandTheftMe Cassandra Nova]] uses Cerebra to reach out to every mutant at once, in an attempt to KillEmAll.]] He's not a god, though.

* ImpliedRape: Cassandra snarks that Lilandra is terrible in bed, heavily implying that she raped the brainwashed empress while occupying Xavier's body.
