Who are the New Mutants, the next Marvel superhero team to hit the big screen?

The New Mutants aren’t exactly a new superhero team – but with their much-delayed film finally coming out soon, we take a look at this underrated X-Men offshoot.

To set the record straight, the New Mutants aren’t exactly “new” as that name was actually coined almost four decades ago (1982 to be exact) via the pages of Marvel Graphic Novel #4.

Co-created by legendary X-Men scribes, Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, the New Mutants were (then) a necessary “x-tension” to the ultra-popular Uncanny X-Men.
