In 2001, superstar writer Grant Morrison took the X-Men on a wild ride. By this point, the X-Men had become an unwieldy mess, with an overstocked roster and convoluted lore. Morrison reinvigorated the characters by focusing on what made the X-Men so unique in the first place: unlike other superheroes, the X-Men are hated and feared by the people they save. With every conflict stemming from that premise, Morrison breathed new life into a stale title. We'll take a look at how we he think he did it, what he did amazingly well, and when this massive experiment ended with the lab burning down.
