All-New X-Men

All New X-Men or The Original Five is the first Team of X-Men which consisted of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, and Angel. These are the five mutants that Charles Xavier put together so as to form the team. This team of international heroes began a new era f0r the X-Men franchise, which was on the verge of cancellation in the mid-'70s. It remains one of the best lineups in all of comics.

Many of the characters, including Storm and Nightcrawler, were designed by legendary artist Dave Cockrum. Initiated by Lein Wein and Dave Cockrum, Chris Claremont took over for Wein almost immediately and went on to be the X-main Men's writer and driving creative force until the early 1990s. Claremont also brought back Jean Grey, who, along with her paramour Cyclops, became a central character in his stories, resulting in the legendary Dark Phoenix Saga.
