X-Men vol. 4 (written by
Brian Wood) features an all-female team. Unlike the other main X-books of the time, which either aligned with Cyclops' team of rebel X-Men or with Wolverine's school, this series just featured an X-team in general – it became known as "that other X-book" due to being largely influenced by the other X-books. This series crossed over with the other X-titles in the
Battle of the Atom Bat Family Crossover in its second story arc, and two of its cast were hijacked by other series. Wood's run was followed by story arcs from Marc Guggenheim and G Willow Wilson. The series was canceled in 2015 at issue #26.
X-Men (2013) features examples of the following tropes:
- Action Mom: Jubilee becomes one after adopting a baby which she names Shogo.
- Back from the Dead: Madelyne Pryor. Downplayed with Selene Gallio, who is instead just reassembled from being dispersed into the atmosphere.
- The Big Guy: Rogue acted as this for the brief time in which she was present. Monet fills her shoes after she left.
- Bumbling Mom: Jubilee isn't a very responsible parent, taking almost every opportunity to ditch Shogo onto someone else, even if those people are in no way qualified to babysit (O5 Iceman and Beast).
- Dating Catwoman: John Sublime returns and gets some Ship Tease with Rachel.
- Evil Counterpart: The Sisterhood of Mutants is one to the book's feature team, being an all-female team and all.
- Mama Bear: The entire team acts as this to Shogo.
- The Smart Guy: Kitty Pryde, who left the team.
