Infobox image

[edit]

The infobox image doesn't in any way conform to guidelines. It is cluttered, overly stylized, does not clearly shot characters, and in general seems like it's only there because it's a "cool image." It needs to be changed to something that fits Wikipedia infobox guidelines. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mutants as metaphor for nerds

[edit]

No doubt mutants can stand in for many different minorities, notably those connected with sexuality and gender, as well as subcultural groups and misfits in general, but considering that the X-Mansion is literally called "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters", it is hard to imagine that the connection with gifted and neuroatypical kids has been entirely overlooked by commenters. After all, the classic audience for these comics and spinoffs in other media are "nerdy" teenagers and adults. Nerds also tend to suffer from social exclusion (if not outright persecution) and often find comfort in the thought that they are basically mutants (which, considering the at least partly genetic and epigenetic basis of giftedness and neuroatypicality is a very apt analogy and could even be said to be literally true) who, far from being freaks unfit for life, are really a kind of avant-garde, even a (possible) next step in the evolution of H. s. sapiens (although there is also a huge risk that this line of thinking leads to arrogance, elitism, entitlement and a narcissistic personality structure, admittedly, and it all too often does exactly that). --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should Spider-Man be added to navigation

[edit]

Even though Spider-Man is not a mutant, there have several other members that are non-mutants as well like Juggernaut, Deadpool, Cloak and Dagger, and Omega Sentinel Iron max 2 (talk) 17:02, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you wanting to add him? He's not even a teacher at the school anymore, and the list of X-Men on this page is only a list of current members, which he isn't. DeadpoolRP (talk) 07:13, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

re: Karma et al. @ Messiah

[edit]

"Notable additions to the X-Men have been Pixie, Karma, Sunspot, Magma, Magik, Namor, Domino, Boom Boom, Fantomex and X-23." says, under Messiah Trilogy. That's utterly misleading. Seems like those characters were created during that era. It should be rephrased. 94.73.56.174 (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need for rephrasing. @Eijikkieru, I think we should remove Fantomex from that sentence as it is clear that Fantomex didn't joined X-Men as per X of Swords Handbook, we can also check it from List of X-Men members. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teedbunny (talkcontribs) 12:55, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Krakoan Age of X-Men section

[edit]

This part of the article is becoming impossible to read with all the comics listed back-to-back. Imagine the mess with several more parts of the Krakoan era. There has to be a way we can clean this up and take out some of the superfluous information. 94.215.127.174 (talk) 20:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the one updating this section and I'll be updating this since this era is over. I will follow the format of the other eras to clean up this section. Eijikkieru (talk) 02:35, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Eijikkieru, one feedback - since this page is about X-Men, why not reduce the information in other titles which are not flagship titles, hence helping in cleanup. Teedbunny (talk) 12:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I updates this section separating the flagship titles from the other titles. I still included the other team spin-off since the X-Men title used in this page have referred to the franchise and not just the team itself. Eijikkieru (talk) 06:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
