Summary
The teenageX-Menteam,Generation X, has returned in a stunning cosplay shared on Instagram. This group cosplay calls back to the mutant heroes' debut era within the ’90s. The team was short-lived, though each member has gone on to play a role in the broader X-Men and its assorted offshoots and special squads.
On Instagram, @saramonicosplay and @warpath_dylan shared different shots of their Generation X group cosplay. Members of this Generation X team include Synch, Mondo, Gaia, Jubilee, Banshee, Monet, Emma Frost, Husk, and Chamber. While the majority of them were seen recently within the X-Men’s Krakoan era, Gaia was not and is a standout worth noting.
Though less popular than the primary X-Men team,Generation X was a solid introductionto characters who would later join the primary team. This is particularly true since the team’s main purpose was to learn instead of doing the usual fieldwork Marvel’s mutants are best known for.
