five mutant teams Marvel should introduce BEFORE the X-Men

There are rumors that Marvel is getting to work on their X-Men movies so I looked at whether there are other X-Teams that make sense to introduce first.

If the X-men have existed for a while, when introduced, I want someone to say: “ever heard of the [big terrible event]? No? We took care of it, that’s why.”

[@pickedceasar1216]

It would honestly give them a chance to do some kinda montage where they go over some X-Men events that would take to long to adapt or something like that Like I don't think we need the story where they get crucified and Nightcrawler becomes the Pope to be adapted into a movie or streaming show 😂

The first group of Mutants I'd introduce into the MCU would be the Morlocks... They would be great initial antagonists for a second season of Ms. Marvel as they would easily establish why the general populace would hate and fear mutants while still being generally sympathetic...

[@legendswarble2845]

See, I feel like the Morlocks should wait until we know who and what the X-men are. Specifically because they act as an accusation against Xavier. Why is it that Charles only has teams with combat powers who look mostly human? Why has he never mentioned the Morlocks? Why are they the ones most desperate visible new mutants go to and not him? I think the Morlocks should be our first big moment of questioning Xavier and his assimilationist mindset. I would also love for it to be mostly about Storm and Calisto. Then they could show up in Mrs Marvel and maybe have their own show. Really let us get to know them before the massacre.

[@lancefullmer9384]

I always thought a neat way to write around the x gene and xavier coincidence is to actually have xavier be the one to formally coin the name in his capacity as an actual respected doctor of genetics or maybe hank mccoy could do it as an homage to charles or something

[@kapitankapital6580]

That's a great idea actually. In the comics doesn't he have an MD in psychiatry? It's not too much of a jump from that to genetics, especially if he's focusing on how genes impact the mind (I dunno if there's a proper disciplinary name for that subject)

[@projekttaku1]

You could just have someone say "X-gene? Narcissistic much Professor?" then Hank says "Well, actually, the X is for unknown part of the gene that causes such wildly different mutations".

[@Hellstromknight]

What I think would be great is have a Disney+ mini series called "First Class" where each episode is about each X-Men joining. First episode is Cyclops, second is Iceman, third is Beast, fourth is Jean, the fifth is Angel, the sixth is just them kind coming together, hanging out and setting up a movie or the next series, which would be about... Whatever. Maybe loosely based on the Mutant Massacre or something. Just whatever it is, no Magneto or Mystique... Not until the post credits revealing a shadowy figure that we are lead to believe is Magneto (much like how the Fantastic Four movie should handle Doctor Doom).

[@SpecsCoupe1115]

I'd only nominate six episodes just to get Storm in there somehow, lol. Call me crazy, but she deserves her own...something!

[@mr.moviemafia]

I know Ms. Marvel has recently been re-imagined as a mutant rather than an Inhuman (which the character’s creator wanted) in both the MCU and Iman Vellani’s recent comic run. I wonder how Kamala could fit into the MCU’s vision for the X-Men, or how she could lead to their introduction

[@josephivenegas]

Funny how both Carol and Kamala now have a history with Mutants! Imagine some mention of that in the new MARVELS movie??? Hala the Accuser might say something like, "Our battle is as old as time itself. The Noble Kree versus the Skin-stealing Skrulls... the Divine Eternals vs the Menacing Deviants… Thanos… Even now on Earth, the same conflict arises - Order versus Chaos! Eugenics vs Evolution! A once promising future for your species, threatened by the spawning of more and more Monsters, Mistakes, and Mutations!" And then Kamala sucker-punches her and says, "God doesn't make mistakes."

[@EricChoiniere]

I could see a Disney+ series introducing the individual backstories, episodically. One episode for Xavier, one for Colossus & Magik, etc. And then the first movie would not require having seen those since a lot of people would not have done so, but viewers would be motivated to go watch them before or after having seen the movie.

[@MsDaydream3r]

Magik could be a good Special Presentation for Halloween.

[@rptana7324]

omg i just wrote a comment like this xd

[@shawnbrisbon9304]

I like the idea of one movie and one show every year before you do the grand X-Men movie. This would give them time to strongly develop characters, including their personalities in a personal relationships and their expanding power range like what they did with Scarlet with. I think a port job was done not developing properly Jean/Phoenix, Rouge, storm and others. I’ve been watching the 90’s animated series that did a great job. Fox missed the ball on introducing some very interesting enemies including Shadow King, Mr. Sinister, Omega Red, Juggernaut and others.

[@cleanupguy3934]

Personally, I think Excalibur could work. Not explicitly tied to the X-Men (at least not originally), it just happened to have some former X-Men on the team. But I think it would make sense to have Captain Britain as the main character. You could introduce his wife, Meggan, & while not a mutant, you could tie in Black Knight someway. For me, the big character to introduce would be Psylocke, who could easily become a core X-Men member whenever they do show up.

[@brotherjustincrowe]

Darwin didn’t first appear in Generation X. He popped up a little over a decade later in Brubaker’s X-Men: Deadly Genesis. You may be thinking of Mondo.

[@nathanowen1328]

He could also be thinking of Skin - who had kind of a lame power, but was a really great character despite that.

[@trehubb6144]

Personally unless you go with Apocalypse, Magneto or Selene for lore reasons I really believe the X-Men team should be the first introduction to the mutant population as a whole. Honestly us the fans are hurting for Magneto representation since both actors were great. Selene could be very doable especially since we could tie her into a blade film or something similar. Selene could also be dropped in something magical. Her being an external,mutant vampire witch gives her a lot of wiggle room. Apocalypse is a good obvious point. In the kang era it would be dope if somewhere he mentioned a *problem* he happened to come across while in Egypt .. My perfect X-Men team is the original Ultimates Team. Storm, Cyclops,Jean, beast, Colossus (With Logan, Bobby joining as first recruits) That team is a perfect blend of the OG team and popular members post that team. Not to mention Giant Sized Xmen was one of the most popular issues .

[@adbirk19]

Don't call Starlord plucky. He doesn't know what it means.

[@JOVONO]

They should definitely do the original team and have some of them be Teenagers - Cyclops and Jean be 16 or 17 years old - Iceman be 13 to 15 years old - Angel be 19 to 23 years old - Beast be 25 to 35 years old - Professor X be 45 to 60 years old

[@sovietpersonman]

So I haven't read every single X-men comic so I don't know if there is actually precedent for her being an ally to him in the comics but I think having her being associated with Magneto in the movies again is a massive mistake like just have her be her own thing. Also I feel most stuff I've read she broadly seems to give little shits about mutants as a whole and only really cares about people she is close to (Destiny) and I really hope they'd keep that trait in the movies if she gets added and I feel having her team up with Magneto means you'd have to remove that trait

[@marcm5207]

If I remember correctly, Puck, Sasquatch, Snowbird and Shaman are magic or magic-adjacent characters

[@nuvjoti]

I wonder if they would use Kamala as the new mutant POV character, especially if Xavier has had a secret active school for a generation or so already. The X-men can be a new initiative but the school should precede the team by 15 years or so, so that the first X-men line up were the first generation of students that are now adult superheroes.

@@NybergCarl because she isn't a bloody mutant (or shouldn't be). There are so many characters who this could be but isn't. Jubilee, for example. Marvel have the opportunity to use some lesser known mutants as a POV character, but retcon another character to self-insert her into a more popular IP then she was part of previously. Kamala Khan is more interesting as an inhuman, the change is only motivated to force her into being more important, when she really isn't, then convince the comics to follow suit. It annoys me.

[@markdeejay86]

They should introduce several ancillary X-men characters through Disney + special presentations similar to Werewolf by Night. One should be Alpha Flight or Weapon X that introduces Wolverine, Storm in the Wakanda spinoff show, Magneto in a Genosha spinoff, Gambit in a Guild of Thieves show etc. Several of these projects would tie directly into a ensemble X-men film. They could also show brief cameos of the core team members in every other MCU movie. This would organically show these characters in a preliminary stage that naturally leads into their Avengers-type scale film.

[@Jayk129]

Great video. I love the eXiles idea especially if they do it in the multiverse phase. I still think a great way to bring mutants into the MCU is the same way I was originally exposed to mutants as a kid. With Firestar and Iceman in the 4th Marvel/Sony Spidey movie “Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.” Using Spider-Man who is now easily the MCUs biggest active superhero to introduce the mutant world to audiences who might not be as familiar with mutants or the X-men (remember the original movie would be 25 years old and First Class would be 15 years old by the time this came out). It also helps show where mutants fit in the larger MCU by immediately having mutants interact with a marquee hero. Also, Spidey is at a great place where the end of “Far From Home” left off to be able to throw this drastic of a change into the story. Peter is alone and heading to college and to be able to afford rent he places an ad for roommates and Angelica Jones and Bobby Drake two friends from “high school” who are new to NYC and don’t really know anyone else respond and move in. Eventually they figure out Pete is Spidey and in a clinch fight with a “villain” (I’ll get to that) they appear and help Spidey in their superhero guises. They all confide their secret identities to each other and Peter is ecstatic because these two are for him a combination of/replacement for both Ned/MJ AND Raimi Peter/Amazing Peter. They decide to band together to stop the movies villain. As for the villain, as a way to introduce the larger mutant world would be another mutant. I’d rip off the basic plot of the VideoMan episode and have the villain be a mutant who isn’t evil per se but simply can’t control their powers (but NOT use VideoMan he’s too silly.) Eventually when they defeat/capture the villain Angelica and Bobby explain their High School to Pete and that Xavier’s would be a good place to take the villain instead of turning him over to Damage Control. The post credits scene could be the villain being introduced to Professor X and a couple of the mutants that will feature in the X-Men movies. The Villain should be a lesser known (to general audiences) X-man character who is powerful/destructive/dangerous and a good long term member of the X-Men, if possible one who hasn’t really been featured in the previous movies. Jubilee, Boom Boom, Rictor, Polaris, and Chamber would all be good choices. Also since MJ and Ned were race swapped in the MCU Firestar and Iceman are characters who could easily also be diversified for the MCU but as for representation I don’t think that would be nearly as important as making Bobby explicitly gay from the get go would be which I think is another great reason to include them.

[@olddangfool]

This makes me feel so old (because I am). Xmen got it big after I'd aged out of comics. I got back into graphic novels as my kids started reading them. The Xmen movies have been"fine." Your suggestions all work for folks who aren't huge Xmen fans that are looking for good movies

Like Blink, Warpath and Polaris from the gifted, Cloak and Dagger, maybe even some of the Runaways. They could even have a run in with Dan Steven's Legion in place of Proteus

[@TheRealLtrain]

I like this idea if we see maybe a couple films with young amateur ragtag teams trying to develop chemistry and stumbling through the team building process. Then midway through say the second movie the 90s cartoon team shows up in matching uniforms working in perfect unison, completely outclassing the youngsters. Have the theme music come in and all with a dramatic entrance. Later we could see that behind the scenes they struggle, too. But seeing them be the “Pros” led by Scott and jean would be super fun!

[@DoofyGood]

If they made an X-Factor show/movie putting Cyclops there as the A lister would make a lot of sense. Havok is on that team so them being on a team together could be really cool. I also think him being on a military funded team gives him a reason to be such a good strategist like he is in the comics.

[@PEHfinale]

Generation X is my favorite super hero team! I'd love if they got some love on the big screen. Darwin is another favorite of mine, but he was never on Generation X. He first showed up in a book called X-Men Deadly Genesis where we learned that he was part of an unknown X-Men team in between First Class and Giant Sized. He returns in the present and becomes a member of Havok's space-faring X-Men before joining Gen X alum Monet in the 3rd iteration of X-Factor 😁

Love Exiles especially Mimic vs Captain America in Skrull Gladiator. I also would love an X-Men 2099 show. Give it a Guardians meets BladeCenter vibe. Story can be far enough away from main X-team that specifics aren't important just that they were heroes in the past. I know you're about to fancast Alpha Flight and Batman Beyond, I'm like combine them into an the future X-Men. Also would have killed for any cameo of them in Across the Spiderverse. Basically have miles run across Bloodhawk and mistake him for a future Vulture. "No I'm a good guy". Also Mutant X aka Havok and the edgy First Cass.

[@WotFanar]

I feel i'm more interested in xmen ongoing tv shows so characters can grow and we get to explore the world and posible have some one shots tie in and then only go to films after they have built things up a few years. possibly the tv show is your gen x/new mutants at school and have the graduates only in the background and build the villans and have the first class join them for the movie after the series. so for xiles could you bring in blink and thunderbird from the gifted?

[@kwamintaylor4247]

You read my mind. Morlock movie as the first big x-men movie, it gives a ground level introduction to the world, different than other superhero movie, told from a different perspective. Also leans on the theme of a marginalized group of people…. I say marrow, who then brought up to the x-men.

[@jonah3936]

imo a pretty good start for madrox would be a translation of an early x-factor investigations story (that i admittedly don’t remember so well) where a dupe of his is murdered and it turns out the culprit is another dupe who ran away and built a family. pretty predictable but it’s probably the story i know of that best takes the concept of a “multiple man” and really runs with it

[@samwitherington8202]

My pitch for a show is a show called The Worst X-Man ever, a high school drama about Bailey Hoskins, who has the power to explode, but only once. The show would follow him in Xavier's school, trying to live among mutants much better than him. One season before each film, and it can introduce students later. Bailey's friends would be the really weird mutants we don't really see much of, like Maggot, Beak, Glob Herman, Choir, El Guapo, Eye-Boy etc Armour or Jubilee act as the cool older girl. Banshee (a retired X-Man), and Forge act as teachers. The school bullies are the "omega gang", actually a group of alpha level mutants led by Quentin Quire, the only Omega level mutant in the school. The show would follow the adventures of the outcasts as they try to prove, while the X-Men are out on missions, that they are heroes too.

I would base it around X-men 9os aka Jim Lee run, fyi in MCU I would have mutants all along but explain it as once the Stark missile hit Maximoff Home Wanda hit the 198.

I think reptile should be on Generation X

[@loganbabbitt4295]

Make an x factor movie with the first team then a monster of the week show called x factor: freedom force might be fun and use a bunch of characters.

X-Factor as the "Community" or "Parks and Rec" of the MCU. Just a nice Disney+ comedy series. It's all I ask.

[@johnquiett1085]

I think Alpha Flight is the right answer. Take part of the X-Factor approach. They are an answer to the Avengers in Canada, but since the Avengers represent the imperialist America, AF takes more of a rescue/response focus in Canada. They follow the Sakovia accords, but they aren't as strong as the Avengers so the UN let's them stay mostly in Canada. Maybe show that they have responded to some other small disasters like fallout from the Eternals final fight. The team find Wolverine stumbling through the woods, take him in and clean him up, find out there are secret bases across Canada, the Weapon-X program. They fight Sabertooth and some other Weapon-X baddies (Cyber gets my vote) and they save some other people getting experimented on and we can pepper in whatever mutants we want here. But there's a big reveal...this isn't a Canadian program. This is someone else. Possibly Val from the MCU, probably her, and that's how you can connect it. She comes in acting like she knows nothing and then gets a call and says wrap it up, fall back to the Genosha locations or something.

Mr Sinister origin story called Great Xpectations

[@gwina64]

Freedom force being “ extremist “ mutants like mysteque being forced to hunt down other bad mutants could be interesting narratively
