The New Mutants are a group of mutant friends who frequently associate themselves to help each other and share a past as former students of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. With the apparent death of the X-Men, Xavier was apprehensive about taking in another class of mutant students. However, by realizing young mutants would face danger by themselves without his aid, he decided to take more pupils, although refusing to take them to combat. Tragically, the New Mutants did involve themselves in violent and dangerous adventures, which led to the death of some of them. The command of the group was eventually taken by the terrorist Cable, who revamped the New Mutants as the extremist team of soldiers known as X-Force. Years later, the adult New Mutants were reassembled by Magik, who manipulated them into helping her in her secret objectives.For a while, the New Mutants worked for the Hatchi Corporation as private superheroes. On the mutant island of Krakoa, they maintained their friendship by going to adventures together. Being based at the Akademos Habitat, the New Mutants usually train younger generations of mutants to improve their abilities.
