When the X-Men were believed dead by Professor X , he looked to the next generation of mutants to fight in their place and the  New Mutants  were born! Only his motivation was much more sinister than that as he was the host of the alien Brood Queen at the time. Despite dark beginnings, the New Mutants continued to train at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and began a tradition of always having a young team of trainees at the school while the X-Men were off saving the world that fears and hates them so damn much. In the early years, the New Mutants would gain some new members and adventure around the world, but they didn't come into their own until Bill Sienkiewicz jumped aboard as series artist with 'The Demon Bear Saga', redefining the title and finally giving it teeth. As always, I'd like to thank the guys over at the Marvel Chronology Project which I've used as a basis and then worked out my own version of the Marvel Universe continuity. MCG Note: Iss...

She-Hulk 's biggest advocate in the 1980s was undoubtedly John Byrne who, halfway through an acclaimed run, decided to replace the Thin g with the She-Hulk on the Fantastic Four . The Thing's dour, orange demeanour was replaced with Jennifer Walters ' upbeat, green genes as the character finally began to find her feet in the Marvel Universe and, despite her impossible strength, become the voice of the average person looking in. Having gained her own following, She-Hulk would return to the Avengers (after two separate clashes with the X-Men ) before the team disbanded due to the machinations of Ravonna Renslayer and the Council of Cross-Time Kangs . While She-Hulk could have faded into obscurity at the close of the decade, next time I'll show you how John Byrne would come to her rescue again and make her sensational!  As always, I'd like to thank the guys over at the Marvel Chronology Project which I've used as a basis and then worked out my own version of th...
