New Information For The First X-Men Released

The First X-Men #1 Covers

 

During the weekend Marvel teased The First X-Men and said that more information would be given today about the new series that will debut this August. Well now we know who the project will be starring, which is no surprise though.

The First X-Men will be a new series that revolves around before Professor X founded his X-Men that can be described as " the X-Men before the X-Men," which was described by artist Neal Adams.


It's not for sure when exactly The First X-Men takes place, but it is for sure takes place before Professor X's X-men and during his younger years (it is not known whether or not it will be in his teens or younger). At this time though, mutants are starting to appear and they are going to need protection, and that somebody is going to be the one and only first X-Men, Wolverine. Wolverine will team up with Sabertooth and tries to get Charles Xavier to protect the mutants instead.


Magneto will also be in the series, his role is not currently known but a cover image suggests that he is on par with Wolverine and his team. 


The villain for the First X-Men will be somebody going by the name "Virus". No other information was given about him except for his name.


The First X-Men will be out sometime this August with artist Neal Adams and writer Cristos Gage.
