About

What is a fanlisting?

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.

What is this fanlisting?

This is the only TFL.org approved fanlisting for the Marvel comics titled New X-Men.

The New Mutants were teenaged students of the telepathic Professor X, much like the original X-Men, who debuted in 1963 and had since grown into adulthood. The New Mutants, however, more resembled "All-New, All-Different X-Men," who debuted in 1975, in ethnic diversity.

In 2003, Marvel launched a second ongoing New Mutants series with writers Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir.
The series featured a handful of the dozens of teenagers attending the Xavier Institute. The kids were instructed by the X-Men, Dani Moonstar, Karma, and Northstar, while Wolfsbane and Magma also appeared in several issues.
After 13 issues, this series was relaunched as New X-Men: Academy X in 2004. Ironically, it was only after the name change that the main group of characters was formally dubbed the New Mutants and received codenames.

Featured are two teams, the New Mutants, whose members tend to be more clean-cut, and the Hellions, whose members are generally more belligerent. The rivalry — not only academically, but certainly also in private matters — plays a significant role in the series.

The Teams:

New Mutants
Hellions
Paragons
Alpha
Corsairs

Decimation

As a result of the Decimation event, in which the Scarlet Witch's magicks de-powered most of the mutant population, only 27 of the 182 students enrolled at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning still retain their powers, and the comic changed its name to simply New X-Men. In response to the increasingly desperate situation that mutants now faced, Emma Frost has disbanded all the former training squads (most of which had lost much of their membership to the Decimation) and integrated those students she deemed capable of combat, including new addition X-23, to a new team that is essentially a junior team of X-Men, while relegated the others to the sidelines and an unknown future, since Emma seems to have abandoned the general education program formerly in place at the school.

Of the former New Mutants, Prodigy lost his powers; Wind Dancer left the school almost immediately, but Prodigy has been forced to stay to avoid wide-spread attacks worldwide against former mutants who are now seen as easy targets by mutant-haters. Most if not all of the other de-powered students were killed in an attack by the anti-mutant fanatic, Reverend William Stryker.
Furthermore, Icarus was misled by Stryker into allowing his wings to be amputated, and was later killed by Stryker after serving his purpose in leading the former Hellion Dust to her apparent death (although the "vision" showed Dust disappearing as a threat, it was later revealed that the girl who had arrived in the burqa was actually X-23, Dust's roommate with a nearly undefeatable healing factor).
A sniper working for Stryker was responsible for the shooting death of Wallflower.
Elixir, who had a former romantic relationship with Wallflower and witnessed her death, was reduced to a near-catatonic state over this event compounded with his inability to save any of his former classmates after Stryker's prior attack.
