Contiene: X-Men Vol.1 #1, Giant-Size X-Men Vol.1 #1, X-Men Vol.1 #141, Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #142, Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #205, Uncanny X-Men Vol.1 #268, New X-Men Vol.1 #114-116 Sono supereroi, ma preferirebbero non esserlo. Il loro corpo ha subito, con la maturità, trasformazioni spaventose che li hanno resi allo stesso tempo potenti e diversi. Gli X-Men costituiscono l'altra faccia del superpotere: la loro emarginazione dalla normalità è totale, tanto che devono lottare non solo contro i propri terribili nemici (primo fra tutti il potente Magneto) ma anche contro l'opinione pubblica, guidata da politici in cerca di facili consensi. Creato nel '63 dal celebre duo Stan Lee e Jack Kirby, questo gruppo di personaggi è mutato radicalmente con il tempo e con la drammatizzazione dei loro eventi. I personaggi iniziali (tra cui l'Angelo, l'Uomo Ghiaccio e Marvel Girl) sono stati quasi del tutto rimpiazzati alla metà degli anni Settanta con l'arrivo di Thunderbird, Wolverine, Tempesta e molti altri. Su tutti pesa il destino più difficile: quello dell'eroe consapevole che le sue gesta non saranno mai comprese e celebrate. Da questa contraddizione prende vita uno dei più grandi successi del fumetto mondiale.
