''Young X-Men'' is a 2008 comic book by Creator/MarvelComics, written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Yanick Paquette. The series replaces ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'', which was canceled after the ''[[ComicBook/XMenMessiahComplex Messiah Complex]]'' event.
The series features a random collection of characters from New X-Men, along with other young mutant characters like Blindfold and Wolfcub, from ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen'' and ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen''. Finally, three new characters were introduced – Ink, Graymalkin and Cipher, though only Graymalkin had any staying power.
The series ended after 12 issues.

!!''Young X-Men'' provides examples of:
* AndIMustScream: Greymalkin was buried alive by his abusive father roughly 200 years ago. The trauma caused his mutant powers to appear, and it just so happens that said powers are superstrength and invincibility in total darkness. The poor guy was buried alive, immobile, for 200 years until he was freed. Beast comments that it's amazing he kept his sanity.
* ArtImitatesLife: Ink's tattoos. However, he's not actually a mutant at all.
* BackFromTheDead: Dust very briefly dies due to cellular degeneration after being turned to glass. Ink used the power of his Pheonix tattoo to bring her back to life, although the effort put him into a coma.
* BuriedAlive: Greymalkin was subjected to this by his own father after he was caught kissing a boy. Fortunately, he survived long enough to be unearthed years later, but the experience understandably left him with PTSD.
* BuryYourGays: Literally -- Greymalkin's father's response to finding him with another boy was to curse him for being born and ''bury him alive''.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Left catatonic after healing Dust, but he eventually recovered.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Greymalkin was unearthed after two hundred years, so he has difficulties communicating with modern people.
* HumanPopsicle: Greymalkin's powers allowed him to stay alive in complete darkness while buried for decades.
* IntangibleMan: Intangible Girl
* {{Invisibility}}: Cipher's abilities include full spectrum invisibility and complete stealth, able to mask even her psychic imprint from most telepaths.
* KilledOffForReal: Wolf Cub is murdered by Donald Pierce during the Young X-Men finale.
* LastNameBasis: Greymalkin doesn't really have a codename, so he's usually referred to by his last name.
* NaiveNewcomer: Greymalkin. Considering he was buried for over a hundred years, not surprising.
* OneSteveLimit: Cipher shares her codename with Doug Ramsey of the ComicBook/NewMutants. Thankfully their codenames have different spellings to avoid confusion from readers.
* PowerTattoo: Ink. However, in this case it's not the tattoo that gives him his powers, but the tattoo artist.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Cipher is introduced not a new character but actually a secret Xavier Institute student originally known only to Cyclops and Jean Grey. Eventually she joined the training squad after assisting them behind the scenes for months.
* StraightGay: Greymalkin doesn't have any stereotypically gay mannerisms thanks to his very different upbringing.
* UndeathlyPallor: Greymalkin's completion and subterranean based powers definitely give off the impression.
