X-Men: Children of the Atom #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"X-Men" kicks off a classic era of mutant mayhem in this 2005 Marvel issue, where Professor X sends the X-Men to investigate a newly detected mutant—only to find the Blob, a towering sideshow attraction with a bouncy, near-indestructible form, performing at a traveling carnival. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, Paul Reinman, and Artie Simek, the story unfolds with the team’s tense encounter, their attempt to recruit the reluctant giant, and the surprising twist that forces them to erase his memories. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby, Sol Brodsky, and Frank Giacoia, captures the moment’s gravity and spectacle.
After a day of training and meeting Jean Grey, a new student at Professor X's school, the X-Men—Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman, and Marvel Girl—embark on their first mission together: stopping Magneto from seizing control of an Air Force base. With Professor X guiding them from afar, the team must confront the magnetic mastermind before his plans escalate.
The X-Men face their newest threat in "No One Can Stop the Vanisher," a teleporting mutant who’s infiltrated a high-security military facility to steal classified defense plans. As the team scrambles to track him, tensions simmer beneath the surface—especially between Iceman and the growing closeness between Cyclops and Marvel Girl—while Special Agent Fred Duncan works alongside the X-Men to contain the escalating crisis.
In "Beware of the Blob!", the X-Men are sent to investigate a new mutant signal, leading them to a dusty carnival where they meet the Blob—a towering, immovable sideshow act with a body that defies bullets and gravity. Though the team offers him a place at the mansion, he refuses, forcing them to reconsider how to handle a mutant whose very presence threatens their secrecy.
