X-Men: Origin of Generation X

In 1996, Marvel and the creative team of writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo delivered a single-issue flashback story that introduced the teenage students who would soon become the fan-favorite team Generation X. Set during the team's early days at the Massachusetts Academy, this one-shot offers a glimpse into the lives of characters like Synch, M, and Jubilee before they fully came into their own as heroes. Though brief, it stands as a key piece of Generation X lore, expanding the backstory of a team that defined a distinct era of X-Men storytelling.
