Many X-Men have had cameos in multiple marvel animated series. The uncanny mutants have countless video games, action figures, and of course...comic books. Their past has shone brightly since their creation in 1963 by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, they will be mainstays for the future. Feeling nostalgic? Find your favorite mutant in this great write up by Buzzfeed's Matthew Perputa: 94 X-Men Members: From Worst to Best . They left out some characters but number six on the list will always be number one to me.
