[[File:ultimate_x-men_4764.jpg|frame|Same great X-Men taste, fewer continuity woes.]]
A reboot of the ''X-Men'' franchise in the ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' line of comics, it can be seen as one of the most radical reimaginings, with [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Alternate Character Interpretations]] of the mainstream 616 characters being taken as canon while other characters are given completely different backstories and characterizations. It was far less popular than its sister series ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', due to a constant rotation of artists and writers, churning out story lines that went from good, to bad, to just plain weird. It was eventually canceled after a few bad story lines that culminated in the universally reviled ''[[Ultimatum]]'' event.▼
The series lasted for 100 issues, from February, 2001 to April, 2009. After ''Ultimatum'', the series was replaced with ''Ultimate X'', where mutants that survived the tragedy were scattered, hunted, and leaderless. This new series only lasted 5 issues, from April, 2010 to August, 2011. However, the series was relaunched as Ultimate Comics: X-Men with the mutants starting to band together again after the events of Ultimate Origins revealed the secret origin of the mutant species. The new series written by Nick Spencer ([[Morning Glories]]), dealing with the fallout of this origin being revealed to the public along with the events of the Ultimate Hawkeye series. As of issue 13, Brian Wood ([[DMZ]]) takes over writing duties on the title.▼
