dewicking Famous Last Words per TRS

* CListFodder: Craig Kyle and Chris Yost kicked off their run with an arc where a whole bunch of classmates of the protagonists whom it would probably be ''generous'' to call C-list get blown up by [[TheFundamentalist the Purifiers]]. The ''least'' obscure character to die in this scene was Tag, who was TheGenericGuy in the JerkAss posse. Another character, DJ, got FamousLastWords that were ''the only thing he has ever said in any comic ever''. Kyle and Yost would go on to kill two main characters (main for this title, anyway) and were responsible for the aforementioned ''Necrosha'', so at least that's something.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Kimura was born to an abusive alcoholic father and a negligent mother. Her school life was similar, as she was abused and tormented by her peers. Through unspecified means at some point in time, Kimura's grandmother became her caregiver. At once, her grandmother tried to heal the emotional damage inflicted upon Kimura through nurturing, love, and understanding. However, by that point the emotional scars were permanent and her grandmother's attempts to reach her were futile. After her grandmother's fatal heart attack, Kimura took off, eventually coming into contact with the Facility. She then underwent some unspecified procedure that granted her physical invulnerability, density control, and reconstruction. She then exacted revenge against those in her past who had wronged her. During her time at the Facility, Kimura eventually assumed the same abusive role as the people who victimized her in the past, particularly to Laura. When Emma Frost learns of this by reading her mind, she admits that her past was horrible and no child deserves the life she was born into. However, Emma is not sympathetic with her, and is in fact deeply disgusted with her, pointing out she is a bully plain and simple. She became the very person she hated and feared growing up. She made Laura into her victim and gave her the same horrible life she lived through and didn't care because even though she knew all too well the pain Laura suffered, and she enjoyed inflicting it. Emma doesn't hesitate to mind-wipe her, making her forget about her grandmother — the only influential positive person in her life — creating "a deep void that will cause [her] pain for a lifetime."
-->'''Emma Frost''': You are a bully plain and simple. A product from your past... Being kicked around your whole life an alcoholic father and uncaring mother at home, only to find the same waiting for you from your peers in the schoolyard, day in and day out. You were born into a life you did not deserve... A life no child deserves. Someone needs to fill the role of the victim and you played that part for so many until your grandmother came to your rescue. She called you her "sweet child." She did everything she could to undo the damage everyone else had done. But sadly she came too late, all that hope and good you held onto was beaten out long ago. After your grandmother's heart attack, you found your way to the Facility to the men that could give what you wanted badly... Revenge. A hollow prize, but one you begged for. And once you'd gotten the best of those who wronged you, you became the very person you hated and feared growing up. And X-23 played the role of your victim. Like you, Laura didn't deserve that horrible life, no child does remember? But you didn't care. Even though you knew all too well the pain she suffered, you enjoyed inflicting it. You still enjoy it. That's why you're a bully.

In 2005 the series was taken over by ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, who changed to a new DarkerAndEdgier status quo. In the wake of the ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' event, most of the mutants on Earth had lost their powers, including several students at Academy X, and the title quickly killed off a large number of characters in controversial CListFodder style. All of the training squads were disbanded and the students with the most offensive capabilities – Helion, Surge, Dust, Mercury, Rockslide, Elixir and CanonImmigrant ComicBook/{{X-23}} were formed into a ''New X-Men'' team, whose purpose was protecting students in case the adult X-Men failed to do so. Later the reptilian Anole, flying illusionist Pixie, super-strong Gentle, and depowered Prodigy, who still retained all his copied knowledge and skills, were added to the team.

* CListFodder: Craig Kyle and Chris Yost kicked off their run with an arc where a whole bunch of classmates of the protagonists whom it would probably be ''generous'' to call C-list get blown up by [[TheFundamentalist the Purifiers]]. The ''least'' obscure character to die in this scene was Tag, who was TheGenericGuy in the JerkAss posse. Another character, DJ, got FamousLastWords that were ''the only thing he has ever said in any comic ever''. Kyle and Yost would go on to kill two main characters (main for this title, anyway) and were responsible for the aforementioned ''Necrosha'', so at least that's something.
* DefeatByModesty: When the New Mutants and the Hellions were rival squads, Wind Dancer of the New Mutants dispatched Dust of the Hellions during a melee by using wind to scatter her sand form, leaving the devoutly-Muslim Dust unable to reconstitute her clothing. She was too modest to fight in the nude. She ended up hiding in a bush until her burqa reformed on its own. Interestingly, it's Surge who ends up returning it, raising a bit of a conversation about their contrasting views of decency; Surge notes she wouldn't mind being a ShamelessFanserviceGirl if the occasion arose.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: A telekinesis version in the case of Hellion. After the battle against Nimrod when he asks Emma Frost to unlock his powers' full potential so he can get X-23 back to Elixir to save her life, he suddenly loses all fine control of his powers. When Beast asks him to move a paperclip he instead blows out an entire wall.

!!Tropes in this series include:
* AbortedArc: [[Comicbook/HouseOfM M-Day]] and a change of creative team in ''New X-Men'' led to the dropping of a number of arcs in that series. Most notably, Wither was attending counseling sessions with Wallflower's father, Sean Garrison (unknowingly), who was planning to take advantage of this connection to gain access to the school and take his daughter back. Although Garrison played a key role during ''House of M'', once the normal universe was restored (and Kyle and Yost took over writing duties) he was never so much as mentioned again, Kevin went through his FaceHeelTurn, and Laurie [[DroppedABridgeOnHim had a bridge dropped on her]].
* ActionGirl: Surge and X-23.
* AesopEnforcer: Emma Frost and Dani Moonstar teamed up to show Prodigy a possible future where the mental blocks on his powers are removed, allowing him to keep all the knowledge his powers absorb from others. In this future, he becomes a [[{{WellIntentionedExtremist}} genocidal dictator]], creating a utopia at the cost of thousands of lives, including all the X-Men. After seeing this telepathic illusion, Prodigy decides to keep his mental blocks in place. Considering that neither Dani nor Emma have any ability to predict the future, one has to wonder where the hell they were pulling this [[{{ItsAWonderfulPlot}} Wonderful Plot]] from.
* AnArmAndALeg: Anole loses an arm in Limbo. It's quickly replaced by a larger, stronger arm. After everything's over, X-23 suggests seeing if his other limbs will grow back.
* AnyoneCanDie: New X-Men, which under Christopher Yost, slaughtered countless characters left and right. The kick off of this trend began with blowing up a bus full of depowered former cast-members. Later, [[spoiler:Icarus and Wallflower]], two of the central characters, died on different circumstances.
* BerserkButton: As Emma Frost admits, she may not like X-23, but mess with her, and you'll ''wish'' you were dead, as Kimura finds out the hard way.
* BigBad: [[PsychoPsychologist Sean Garrison]], though due to [=DeFilippis=] and Weir being fired he didn't really get to do much. The follow-up Kyle/Yost run had [[SinisterMinister William Stryker]], [[MadScientist Doctor Zander Rice]], and [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Belasco]] as the main villains of individual arcs.
* BodyHorror: The first time Mercury's powers activated, she collapsed into a pile of goo on her bathroom floor.
* BreakTheCutie: Mercury came pre-broken, what with the traumatic way her X-gene activated, her parents basically abandoning her, and then what the Institute did to her.
* ChickMagnet: Hellion is always being described as good looking, and before his JerkAss personality comes out, he is genuinely charming and charismatic.

* ForWantOfANail: Stryker attempts to invoke this: Taking advantage of knowledge of the future provided by [[spoiler: Nimrod]], he specifically targets [[spoiler: Wallflower and Dust]] for assassination because, in what he was shown, [[spoiler: first Laurie and then, after she is murdered Sooraya]] single-handedly defeated his attack on the school. It might have worked if not for [[spoiler: ComicBook/ComicBook/{{X 23}} [[SpannerInTheWorks taking Dust's place]]]].
* GenreBlindness: The O*N*E staff who set up camp on the Xavier Institute after M-Day. Bad enough they're using Sentinels to protect Mutants, but when the students go missing they interrogate Anole, who lists all the possible ways they could've gone missing, and promptly refuse to believe him.
* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Wallflower]]'s death is largely dependent on both Wolverine and Elixir grabbing hold of this ''hard''. Yes, Logan, when someone's been shot on your watch, the sensible thing to do is obviously to ''restrain the healer for no apparent reason''. And Josh, when [[spoiler:your girlfriend]] is bleeding out, it's probably best to actually ''use your nigh-omnipotent healing powers'' instead of just doing the PietaPlagiarism thing.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: X-23 becomes this for Stryker's plans to attack the school by taking Dust's place when Jay unwittingly lures her into an ambush, and it's ultimately Laura's arrival at the school during the attack and ''not'' Wallflower and Dust that foils him]].

[[caption-width-right:234: Characters clockwise from the bottom: Anole, Elixir, Hellion, Prodigy, Rockslide, Dust, Gentle, Pixie, Mercury, Surge, X-23 ]]
'''New X-Men: Academy X''' (later just called ''New X-Men'') is a comic series published by Creator/MarvelComics as part of the Franchise/XMen series in 2004.
The series originally began life as the second volume of the Comicbook/NewMutants series. This volume, 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. The main cast of 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 ''New X-Men: Academy X'', after which the central group was formally dubbed "The New Mutants". They quickly found rivals in a team supervised by Emma Frost – new Hellions – that included arrogant telekinetic Hellion, made-of rocks DumbMuscle Rockslide, human sandstorm Dust, WalkingWasteland Wither, fear-inspiring Tag and shape-changing "living metal" person Mercury.
The series focused strongly on relationships and personal issues instead of supervillain battles, which was a negative for some but a strength for others, who appreciated the deep characterization and optimistic feel.
In 2005 the series was taken over by ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, who changed to a new DarkerAndEdgier status quo. In the wake of the ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' event, most of the mutants on Earth had lost their powers, including several students at Academy X, and the title quickly killed off a large number of characters in controversial CListFodder style. All of the training squads were disbanded and the students with the most offensive capabilities – Helion, Surge, Dust, Mercury, Rockslide, Elixir and CanonImmigrant ComicBook/X23 were formed into a ''New X-Men'' team, whose purpose was protecting students in case the adult X-Men failed to do so. Later the reptilian Anole, flying illusionist Pixie, super-strong Gentle, and depowered Prodigy, who still retained all his copied knowledge and skills, were added to the team.
Despite being strongly criticized for the grim tone, Kyle and Yost managed to provide a lot of consistent stories, exploring the characters' lives, relationships and realization that they may be not only the youngest generation of mutants, but the last.
After the ''Messiah Complex'' event, ''New X-Men'' was canceled and replaced with a new series, ''Young X-Men'', written by [[Series/{{ Arrow}}Marc Guggenheim]]. The short lived series featured a random collection of characters from New X-Men, along with other young mutant characters like Blindfold and Wolfcub, from Astonishing X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. Finally three new characters were introduced – Ink, Graymalkin and Cipher, though only Graymalkin had any staying power.
The series was widely reviled and largely ignored by other writers, due to plot points such as the New Mutants beating and crippling/maiming the New X-Men mutants, as well as ignoring other writers usage of characters. The later of which led to Guggenheim openly declaring CreatorApathy for the continuity snarls he was creating, sealing the book's doom in the process. The series ended after 12 issues.

'''New X-Men: Academy X''' (later just called ''New X-Men'') is a comic series published by Creator/MarvelComics as part of the Franchise/XMen series in 2004.
The series originally began life as the second volume of the Comicbook/NewMutants series. This volume, 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. The main cast of 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 ''New X-Men: Academy X'', after which the central group was formally dubbed "The New Mutants". They quickly found rivals in a team supervised by Emma Frost – new Hellions – that included arrogant telekinetic Hellion, made-of rocks DumbMuscle Rockslide, human sandstorm Dust, WalkingWasteland Wither, fear-inspiring Tag and shape-changing "living metal" person Mercury.
The series focused strongly on relationships and personal issues instead of supervillain battles, which was a negative for some but a strength for others, who appreciated the deep characterization and optimistic feel.
