cabezadeplaya. • 2 yr. ago. As of Uncanny 281 and X/Men 1, there were two teams: Gold in the former and blue in the latter with Gold led by Storm and Blue by Cyclops. However, this didn’t mean that characters didn’t regularly cross over into both books. They all still lived at the mansion and had interpersonal relationships.

Launched in 1963 as The X-Men by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the title starred five of a new kind of super-hero: mutants born with their abilities rather than having them granted. Led by their paraplegic leader Professor X, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel and Marvel Girl were students in a school formed to teach them how to use their powers. Many of the early issues pitted the team against the villain Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, by the time the creative reins were handed over to Roy Thomas, the X-Men began to branch out throughout the Marvel Universe
Hiatus
Sales of The X-Men remained sub-par, even through an acclaimed run by Thomas and artist Neal Adams and the book ended runs of new stories after issue #66 in March, 1970. Nine months later, the book began re-printing back issues bi-monthly. This proceeded until Marvel began promoting Giant Size versions of many of its titles and it was decided to give the X-Men a whole new look and feel. With 1975's Giant Size X-Men #1, a new team, created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum was rolled out. Characters debuting here included Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and the return of an Incredible Hulk guest-star, Wolverine. Reception was good and with writer Chris Claremont at the helm, new life was breathed into the title with issue #94.
All-new, all-different
Claremont hit the ground running and didn't look back. He began immediately with an impact in killing off new member Thunderbird and introducing a drastic redesign of Marvel Girl as Phoenix. He quickly took the team through the cosmos, introducing the Shi'ar Empire and just as easily brought them back for down-to-earth stories. He reintroduced new takes on old characters - most notably providing Magneto with his Holocaust-centered origin and removing the more tyrannical aspects of his Silver Age persona. The title truly hit its stride with the arrival of penciler and co-plotter John Byrne as of issue #108. Together, Claremont and Byrne told numerous memorable stories including the Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past and Magneto Triumphant!
The title was cancelled in 2011 and relaunched starting with Issue #1 and a new team of X-Men lead by Cyclops. The first issues were part of the X-Men event known as Regenesis.
The title's second volume ended with Issue 20# following the ending of the Avengers VS. X-Men event, and was relaunched in February 2013 with issue #1 for Volume three of the series.
