The New Mutants!

The New Mutants are a team of teenage superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe. They were created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod and first appeared in "The New Mutants" #1 in March 1982.

The original team consisted of:

1. Cannonball (Sam Guthrie) - a young man with the ability to propel himself through the air like a human cannonball.
2. Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair) - a Scottish girl with the ability to transform into a wolf-like creature.
3. Sunspot (Roberto da Costa) - a Brazilian boy with the ability to absorb and manipulate solar energy.
4. Mirage (Dani Moonstar) - a Cheyenne girl with the ability to create powerful illusions.
5. Karma (Xi'an Coy Manh) - a Vietnamese girl with the ability to possess and control the minds of others.

The team was formed at the Massachusetts Academy, a school for mutant students, where they were trained by Professor Charles Xavier (the founder of the X-Men) and his assistant, Magneto. The New Mutants were initially a spin-off team from the X-Men, but they eventually became a separate entity with their own adventures and storylines.

Over the years, the team has undergone several roster changes, with new members joining and old members leaving. Some notable additions include:

• Cypher (Doug Ramsey) - a genius with the ability to understand and communicate with any language or computer system.
• Warlock - an alien with the ability to transform his body into a powerful, energy-based form.
• Magma (Amara Aquilla) - a Brazilian girl with the ability to control and manipulate magma.
• Boom-Boom (Tabitha Smith) - a young woman with the ability to create and manipulate explosive energy.

The New Mutants have had several comic book series over the years, including "The New Mutants" (1982-1991), "X-Force" (1991-2002), and "New Mutants" (2003-2004). They have also appeared in various animated TV shows and video games.

In 2020, a film adaptation of the New Mutants was released, which served as a spin-off of the X-Men film franchise. The movie follows a group of young mutants who are trapped in a mysterious hospital and must work together to escape and uncover the truth about their confinement.

Overall, the New Mutants are a beloved and iconic team in the Marvel Comics universe, known for their youthful energy, diverse backgrounds, and exciting adventures.
