X-Men, a Marvel Comics superhero team, debuted in 1963. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the X-Men are mutants born with extraordinary abilities, often facing discrimination for their differences. Led by Professor Charles Xavier, the team includes iconic characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Storm.
The X-Men's narratives explore themes of diversity, acceptance, and the struggle between mutants and humans. The concept of the "X-Gene" and the School for Gifted Youngsters add layers to their storytelling. Beyond comics, the X-Men have become a cultural phenomenon, with numerous adaptations in animated series, movies, and more, making them a symbol of unity and diversity in the Marvel Universe.
