With 1975's Giant Size X-Men #1, a new team, created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum was rolled out. This proceeded until Marvel began promoting Giant Size versions of many of its titles and it was decided to give the X-Men a whole new look and feel. Nine months later, the book began re-printing back issues bi-monthly. Sales of The X-Men remained sub-par, even through an acclaimed run by Thomas and artist Neal Adams and the book ended runs of new stories after issue #66 in March, 1970. Many of the early issues pitted the team against the villain Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, by the time the creative reins were handed over to Roy Thomas, the X-Men began to branch out throughout the Marvel Universe Led by their paraplegic leader Professor X, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel and Marvel Girl were students in a school formed to teach them how to use their powers.
Launched in 1963 as The X-Men by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the title starred five of a new kind of super-hero: mutants born with their abilities rather than having them granted.
