The X-Men were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963; a superhero team made up of people without origin moments for their powers, rather they were mutants, and opening a new door into the Marvel Universe. Initially not that popular, the book went into reprint a few years in, before being relaunched in the seventies, with a bunch of new international characters requested by the sales division to appeal to international audiences. Again, sales failed to take off until a number of years in, as critical acclaim of Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run hit; sales eventually began to reflect this. X-Men rose as a franchise at Marvel Comics, spinning off into several titles. Wolverine became a genuine comics star and launched toys, animated TV shows, movies, and live-action TV shows. With the X-Men set to be announced for the Marvel Cinematic Universe now that Disney has bought Fox. This is why there is so much interest, again, in where it all began…
