New, Young, and Disenfranchised: Academy X-Men Appreciation 2024

[CGAR]

To the generation that was decimated by Wanda, murdered by humans, and neglected by the X-Men

And also the most LGBT inclusive (IMO)

MAY THEY THRIVE IN 2024!

Hopefully Breevort believes in these characters deserving a on-going or AT LEAST a mini series since JDW failed us.

So alot of characters have been bunched into our favorites. Would we agree that the classes that we're split into teams from the Year Book special are the only ones that should be considered the Academy X generation?

I'm of the opinion that the Morrison era kids be honorary. Plus only Soorya made the jump to be part of Academy X.

Lets play a game: I'm not gonna ask you to make a team BUT if any artist could redesign these characters.

Who would you all pick?

If any writer could write them in 2024?

Who would you pick?

David Baldeon for redesigns, definitely.

For writers, I've got a few ideas. I'd like to see DeFillipis and Weir return without the hobble of writing an all-ages title and give the Academy X kids some love. I'd like to see a younger writer (like Ayala or Williams) take a stab at writing a bunch of late teens/early twenties characters. And, of course, Al Ewing, because Al Ewing should write everything.

Hoping for Santo to come back in 2024.
For David, to not be written as just a nerd.
And for everyone to stay alive.

Either Kyle & Yost or Mike Carey.

I really love Schiti’s design work, his SWORD costumes were the best of this era, so I would choose him. As for writer, maybe Leah Williams if she were interested. It would probably never happen but I think James Tynion could write them really well.

That makes sense since they were part of "Xorn's" special class.

Her and the Cuckoos. But I'll be dead in the ground before I put Quentin freaking Quire anywhere near these kids.

But I don't consider the Morrison era kids part of Academy X. They might be part of the same generation, but they rarely interacted with the Academy X kids during their era, if ever. Their stories are so divorced from them. When I think of Academy X, I might think about the Cuckoos, since they interacted with the cast in their books and after the brand ended. But I don't think of Ernst, even though I like her.

The RIOT AT XAVIERS students definitely deserve a spot, if not here, then somewhere...I was going to try for a GENERATIONS OF X Appreciation thread as a catch all for the Generation X kids and beyond since they seem to all kind of blend into a lump generation of students at Xaviers after the New Mutants.

I'm not a fan of the Omega gang, or of Beak and Angel Salvadore, or Xorn's 'special class,' but I was intrigued by a ton of the background characters like Polymer, Contact, Mentat, Keratin, Stalwart, etc. and there were a ton named that I don't recall even finding out anything about, like Imp, Pako, Crater, etc.
