The New Mutants (X-Men team)'s first task was to bring in the son of Professor X, Legion, who was suffering from multiple personality disorder. [New Mutants #1 - #5] Selene sent an undead army of mutants to attack the mutant island of Utopia, including Cypher, a former New Mutant who died years ago and the New Mutants' former rivals Hellions. With the help of the returning Warlock, Cypher was released from Selene's thrall and resurrected. [New Mutants #6 - #8] The forces of Project: Purgatory set events into motion [NM #9] while Cyclops revealed to Emma Frost that he intend the New Mutants team to be an avenue to groom the next leader, it is not necessarily Cannonball. Dani Moonstar helped the Norse goddess of death Hela as her Valkyrie during the Norman Osborn's siege on Asgard in Broxton. [NM #10] When the child messiah returned from the future, Bastion and his Human Council initiated their attack on the mutants. The New Mutants team was involved in raiding the base of Cameron Hodge and his anti-mutant Right organization before returning to Utopia to fend off an assault from Nimrod sentinels from the future sent by Bastion. [NM #12 - #14]
With Bastion defeated, the New Mutants find themselves dealing with Project: Purgatory. Members of Project: Purgatory kidnapped Pixie for the bloodstone in her soul dagger. Illyana teleported the New Mutants into Limbo to rescue Pixie where they fought mutants raised by Project: Purgatory. These mutants were infants used in the opening of the gateway to Limbo during Inferno many years ago. Most of the New Mutants members were captured by Project Purgatory's General Ulysses. General Ulysses managed to extract the bloodstone and summon the Elder Gods. The X-Men gather to help the New Mutants. It was eventually revealed that this is all Illyana's plan to lure the Elder Gods out to destroy them. She succeeded but lost the trust of the X-Men. Project Purgatory's Face became Karma's ward.

The New Mutants survived Limbo fighting the ex-Inferno babies and went through the alternate reality Age of X. Having lost the X-Men's trust following her ploy to destroy the Elder Gods in Limbo, Illyana was placed on arrest. Karma volunteered to leave the team to take care of one of the ex-Inferno babies called Face whom she rescued while in Limbo. Cannonball removed himself from the roster to recuperate from the fallout from events in Limbo and the Age of X. As a result, Dani Moonster was placed in charge of the team with the mission to clean up any loose ends the X-Men have on hand. The team's first mission saw them rescue X-Man from the Sugar Man. [NM #25 - #28] The team then accidentally traveled to Mephisto's Hell in an attempt to rescue Dani Moonstar. Magma made a pact with Mephisto for the team to be transported to Hela's Hel to rescue Dani. [NM #29 - #32]

Following the schism between Cyclops and Wolverine, the X-Men and students split into two camps. The New Mutants team remained under Cyclops while former members Cannonball and Karma joined Wolverine at the Jean Grey School. The team moved into an apartment in San Francisco with leader Dani Moonstar feeling that they could benefit from more contact with the "real" world. Their first mission is to find the missing mutant Blink. They found Blink and helped her deal with the band Diskhord, under the influence of an extra-terrestrial which intended the band to create enough chaos energy to call for help to escape. [NM #33 - #36]
Magma then went for a date with Mephisto, realizing the pact she made with him. [NM #37]. The New Mutants next traveled to Paradise Island, home of the Ani-Mates, to investigate Doug's nightmare vision. All of them except Warlock were infected by a virus plague and they battled a newly reanimated Ani-Mator. Doug and Warlock were able to defeat the Ani-Mator and cure the other New Mutants and the Ani-Mates of the virus. [NM #38 - #40] Blink visited the team and teleported them to the island nation of Madripoor to relax. [NM #41].

The team became embroiled in a spell cast by Sigurd, which created a new reality in which the Norse gods forgot about their identities and live their lives as normal human. A long time ago, Sigurd and his troops were involved with the Norse All-Father Bor's Valkyrie, who placed a curse on them, turning them into the Disir. Since then, the Disir hungered for the flesh of dead gods, but were unable to satisfy their hunger due to the protection accorded to dead gods in Hela's realm. Sigurd's spell was reversed. New Mutants and Norse gods manage to make Bor end his curse and the Disir reverted into Valkyrie serving under Hela.

The team soon received a warning from Dr Strange and the Defenders regarding an impending reality-changing event. They encounter future versions of Cannonball and Karma. They come from a reality in which the New Mutants are armed with Warlock-like Transmode-tech and Cypher controlled everyone on the planet. While trying to undo that reality, the two were discovered by the future Cypher and forced to attack the team. The New Mutants managed to stop them and sent Cypher back where he came from. [NM #44 - #46] They soon discovered that reality is wrong. They seek out Dr Strange, who is a drunk in this reality. Back at the Jean Grey School, Face attempted to kill Cypher but accidentally killed Karma instead. Tormented by guilt, Cypher attempted to kill himself to prevent his transformation into his darker self. However, he was saved by the Hellions, reanimated by Warlock tech, who are eager to see Cypher fulfill his future. The New Mutants arrive to protect their friend but Cypher transformed into the monster he was trying to destroy. The present Cypher's plan eventually worked as he buried an idea in his mind, so that the future Cypher sent the Hellions to rescue the present self. With the dead Hellions present, Dani's Valkyrie powers manifested and she was able to free Cypher from his future self. [NM #47 - NM#49]
The New Mutants invited the X-Men, Asgardians and other friends to a party. However, the party was crashed by Tyro, Warlock's ward, who was controlled by his father. The heroes fought and free Tyro.

History
Dani is a Cheyenne. When her powers manifested, she saw a vision of her parents' death at the hands of a Demonic Bear. Shortly after, her parents disappeared and she was taken in by her grandfather. The Hellfire Club attempted to capture Dani and her grandfather died in the process. However, her grandfather had already contacted his friend Charles Xavier, who came to take her into the group that would become the New Mutants. She eventually became co-leader of the New Mutants with Cannonball. Shortly after, she was attacked by the Demon Bear but her teammate Magik was able to use her powers to return the Bear back into its original forms of Dani's parents. When the New Mutants found themselves in Asgard, home of the Norse gods, Dani rescued the winged mount, Brightwind and became the Valkyrie, chooser of the slain, as a result. Her powers fluctuated over several missions.
The New Mutants returned to Asgard to aid the Norse gods against Hela, goddess of death, after which she chose to remain when the rest of the team returned to Earth. Later, She returned to Earth in an undercover role in the mutant terrorist team, Mutant Liberation Front and subsequently rejoined some of her former teammates in the paramilitary X-Force, leaving the team when ex-spy Pete Wisdom came in as mentor. She served a brief period as X-Man and became staff member of the Xavier Institute, mentoring the New Mutants student squad.
She was de-powered following M-Day and was forced to leave by headmaster Emma Frost. She returned to rejoin her former teammates in the New Mutants X-Men squad even without her powers. When the director of H.A.M.M.E.R. Norman Osborn sent the Avengers to attack the X-Men in their new island home of Utopia, Dani visited Hela seeking for her Valkyrie powers to be returned to her. Hela agreed and Dani managed to use her temporary powers to defeat the Greek God of War Ares, a member of Osborn's Avengers. Since then, Hela has called on Dani twice to aid her, granting her temporary powers on both occasions. When Cannonball took a leave of absence, Dani became leader of the team.

Selene (Grandmother)
History
Magma comes from the city of Nova Roma in the Amazon Rainforests, a colony of the Roman Republic founded shortly after the death of Julius Caesar in 44BC. The city was ruled until then by the immortal mutant Selene. Amara is the daughter of Lucius Antonius Aquilla, a senator. Caught in a power struggle between her father and Selene, also her grandmother, Amara encountered the New Mutants disguised as a Brazilian Indian. Amara discovered her powers when Selene threw her into a lava pool as a human sacrifice. After the battle with Selene, her father urged her to leave Nova Roma with the New Mutants.
The New Mutants went on to encounter the rival Hellions from Emma Frost's Massachusetts Academy and Magma began to develop feelings for Hellion's Empath. Later, Magma left the New Mutants to join the Hellions. She returned to Nova Roma with Empath, where she was captured by the High Evolutionary but was rescued by the New Mutants.
It was later revealed that Nova Roma was created by Selene using mind control on British citizens to recreate Rome and that Amara's name is actually Allison Crestmere. With that identify, she briefly surfaced as a member of the New Hellions.
Much later, she was crucified by the anti-mutant Church of Humanity on the lawn of the Xavier Institute. She was saved a infusion of blood from the X-Man Archangel, which has healing qualities. However, she went into coma before she was revived by students Elixir and Hellion, against the wishes of Professor X who believed a forced revival will be traumatic to her mind. Allison accidentally destroyed the infirmary and fled.
Allison found her way to X-Corporation LA under former New Mutants teammate Sunspot. She revealed that when she was healed by Elixir, the Allison's identity was removed and that Allison Crestmere is actually the deception. She joined Storm's team for a mission before returning to the Xavier Institute as mentor to the Paragons student squad. She was also a member of Storm's Xtreme Sanctions Executive.
On M-Day, Magma and her boyfriend were in a volcano. When most of the mutants in the world lost their powers, her boyfriend was one of them and he fell into the lava, losing his life. Magma went mad and made the volcano erupt before attacking a nearby town. She was brought in by Empath back to the Xavier Institute.
She joined her former teammates to reform New Mutants. Sunspot expressed his attraction for her but she has yet to reciprocate.

History
Roberto, an Afro-Brazilian, was born in Rio De Janeiro. His father Emmanuel was a millionaire. Roberto grew up to be a star soccer player in school. Shortly before his fourteenth birthday, he was in a game when racist members of the opponent assaulted him. Roberto initiated a fight on the field when his powers manifested. Everyone fled except for his girlfriend Juliana Sandoval. He became the target of the Hellfire Club. The Club's mercenaries kidnapped Juliana to lure Roberto, who was then defeated. He was rescued by Psyche (Dani Moonstar) and Karma, but Juliana sacrificed herself by jumping in front of a bullet meant for Roberto. The Club was eventually defeated and Roberto joined other new mutants to form the New Mutants team.
Roberto became a long-time member of the team until it was reformed into the paramilitary X-Force by the time-traveling mutant Cable. In this period of time, his father joined the Hellfire Club and eventually died. After leaving the team, he went under the tutelage of Gideon of the Externals, a old business partner of his father. Gideon ended up experimenting on Roberto, which granted him new powers such as flight and the ability to fire solar blasts. He became lost into the space-time continuum after interfering with the teleportation powers of Locust.
During this time, a villain known as Reignfire emerged, taking over the mutant terrorist group Mutant Liberation Front. During a fight, he revealed his face which was that of Roberto's. For a while, Reignfire was believed to be Sunspot. It was later revealed that Reignfire was a protoplasmic cellular construct based on Roberto when it received a cell sample from him. Reignfire died shortly after.
Sunspot returned and joined X-Force, which was then separated from Cable. Later, he was approached to take over his father's place in the Hellfire Club. Selene promised to resurrect Juliana if he agreed. Sunspot became Black Rook of the Club and Selene planted Juliana's amnesiac soul into a girl who had just died.
Sunspot next became head of X-Corporation LA, joining Storm's X-Men team for a mission. Later, Sunspot was invited by long-time Hellfire Club Black King Sebastian Shaw to take over him as Black King while he took over the Lord Imperial position. Following a battle between Shaw and Donald Pierce, Sunspot was engineered by X-Man Sage to become Lord Imperial instead. Sage stayed at his side to make sure he was not corrupted by the power. Following M-Day and the depowering of most of the mutant population, Sunspot was asked to help in the shutting down of all the X-Corporation offices.
Sunspot left the Hellfire Club to return to the X-Men where the New Mutants team was reformed. He expressed his feelings for fellow teammate Magma but was not reciprocated.

History
Doug was a good friend of X-Man Kitty Pryde, sharing an interest in video games, computers and computer technology. Professor X suspected that he possessed a passive mutant power but did not invite him to attend his school. When the alien Warlock arrived on Earth, the New Mutants brought in Doug to communicate with him. Doug joined the New Mutants as Cypher, becoming good friends with Warlock. Cypher was briefly attracted to X-Man Psylocke but formed a relationship with fellow New Mutants member Wolfsbane. The team went on a mission to rescue Bird Brain's fellow Ani-Men from the Ani-Mator. During the fight, the Ani-Mator aimed a shot at Wolfsbane. Cypher threw himself into the path of the bullet and he died. Later, Warlock was killed by the anti-mutant Cameron Hodge and his ashes were scattered upon Doug's grave. Warlock was subsequently resurrected by the Phalanx with the memories of Doug. This new entity Douglock believed himself to be based on the genetic and mental engrams of both Warlock and Doug but he later discovered that he is in fact Warlock.
Cypher was resurrected by the Transmode Virus used by Selene as part of her undead army. Cypher was sent along with others to capture the New Mutant Magma. He found Magma and beat her up before the rest of the team drove him off. Warlock, who had returned from his adventures, reversed Cypher's programming. Now alive, Cypher returned to the New Mutants team.

History
Warlock is a member of the alien Technarchy, a race which survived by infecting living creatures with the techno-organic transmode virus, before draining their life energy. Warlock possesses a compassion that is missing from others of his race and thus is regarded as a mutant. He escaped from his father, the Magnus, the Technarch's leader and arrived on Earth. He met the New Mutants and Cypher, who became good friends with him. Cypher later died in a mission. Warlock was kidnapped along with several other mutants to the mutant island Genosha, where he was killed by the anti-mutant Cameron Hodge. Warlock's ashes were scattered over the grave of Cypher. Warlock was later resurrected by the Phalanx as Douglock, possessing Doug's memories. For a time, Douglock believed himself to be based on the genetic and mental engrams of both Warlock and Doug but he later discovered that he is in fact Warlock. He went on his own adventures, eventually traveling to outer space where he took in a young charge, Tyro. Both of them aided the cosmic adventurer Nova against a Phalanx invasion. Warlock returned to Earth just in time to meet Cypher, resurrected by Selene's transmode virus. Warlock managed to remove the malicious programming of the technoorganic-based transmode virus. Both Warlock and Cypher returned to the New Mutants.

History
X-Man was created in the Age of Apocalypse reality by Sinister using the genetic material of Prelate Cyclops and Jean Grey. Sinister hoped to use him as a weapon against the despot Apocalypse in the future. Nate was released by Cyclops, who was secretly helping Sinister's prisoners to escape. Nate found his way to Forge and his group of outcasts. However, Sinister soon infiltrated this group, killing Forge and some of his outcasts before revealing himself to Nate. Nate injured Sinister before traveling to Apocalypse's base to fight the despot. In the ensuing melee, Nate fought Horseman Holocaust and impaled him with a M'Krann crystal shard which brought them to the real reality.
Nate Grey had many adventures in the real world, including joining the Mannites Rescue X-Men alongside Cyclops and Jean Grey of this reality. Nate later became shaman to the mutant tribe, sacrificing himself to save the world.
Believed to be dead, X-Man resurfaced much later in a small town, causing its residents to dreamwalk and chant his name repeatedly. The director of peace-keeping agency HAMMER Norman Osborn sent in his team of X-Men to investigate the disturbances, bringing in X-Man under captivity. Nate took over control of Norman Osborn but his ploy was stopped by Osborn's X-Men. Osborn had X-Man strapped into the Omega Machine so that he can use his powers to open portals into other realities. Following the fall of Osborn and HAMMER, Nate Grey was captured by Sugar Man. Learning of Nate Grey's return, Cyclops tasked Dani Moonstar's team of X-Men (New Mutants) to locate Nate and bring him in. The New Mutants managed to capture Sugar Man and free Nate Grey, whose powers were burnt out and reduced to residual telekinesis.
Blink (Clarice Ferguson)
Powers
Teleportation
History
Clarice was one of the young mutants captured by the alien Phalanx. Clarice was unable to control her powers and the use of her teleportation powers would shred the object or person instead. While in captivity, she used her powers to attack her Phalanx guard Harvest. However, she was caught up in her own teleportation field and apparently died in the process. With her sacrifice, the other captives were able to escape and eventually became Generation X.
Clarice was actually not dead but stranded in another dimension, suffering in agony. She was rescued at the spot where she had fought Harvest by Selene, who was gathering her Inner Circle consisting of mutants with death-related powers. Selene convinced Clarice to join the Inner Circle by telling her that Emma Frost was to be blamed for not attempting to rescue her. Selene launched an attack on the X-Men's Utopia island and Clarice fought several X-Men. As Selene started to absorb souls around her, Clarice teleported most of the mutants Selene resurrected to Genosha so that she can continue to absorb more souls to attain godhood. After X-Force defeated Selene in Genosha, Blink escaped.
Blink was located in Eastern Europe by a team of X-Men and Dr. Strange attempt to resurrect Selene. Emma convinced Blink that Selene lied to her and Dr. Strange purged Selene's corruptive influence from her. Feeling remorseful, Blink teleported away. She joined the New Mutants on a mission to stop the destructive Diskhord band. She rejoined the team on other missions subsequently.

Colossus (Piotr Rapustin, brother)
History
Illyana was born in Ust-Ordynski Collective farm near Lake Baikal, Siberia. When she was six years old, she was kidnapped to America by the villain Arcade because of her ties to the X-Man Colossus. The X-Men managed to defeat Arcade and rescue their kins and friends. Later, Illyana was trapped in Limbo for seven years during which she was an apprentice to Belasco. Eventually, Illyana created the Soulsword and used it to defeat Belasco, taking over Limbo as ruler. She returned to Earth but only mere moments have passed in the real world since her capture.
As a teenager, she formed a strong friendship with X-Man Kitty Pryde and also joined the New Mutants. Illyana's demonic nature eventually took over her and the demons pressed her become the full and true lord of Limbo. Her efforts to escape provided the demon N'astirh the opportunity to open a colossal teleportation disc through which a demonic invasion started. Magik fought and defeated the demon Sym and in the process, the seven year old Illyana who had not been corrupted by Belasco emerged in place of the teenage Illyana.
Illyana was sent back to Russia to live with her parents until they were murdered by the Russian government. Illyana returned to live in the Xavier Institute. Shortly after, she contracted and lost her life to the mutant-killing Legacy Virus (in Uncanny X-Men #303 (1993)).
Much later, the teenaged version of Illyana was recreated as Darkchylde by Belasco from the remaining essence and memories of her found in Limbo. Not satisfied, he banished her to the outer parts of Limbo. Belasco went in search of the real Illyana, pulling the students of Xavier Institute into Limbo. Darkchylde discovered a group of students in Limbo. She stole a portion of Pixie's soul hoping to create a bloodstone and a new soulsword. However, the spell was interrupted by Anole and a soul dagger was created instead. When Rockslide thwarted her attempt to complete the spell, her human memories with the X-Men returned. Illyana revealed that Pixie was now capable of using magic and taught her a teleportation spell. The students teleported into Belasco's castle where they defeated him and rescued the other students.
Illyana's Darkchylde personality took hold and she desired to create several more bloodstones to gain godlike powers. She attacked several demons in search of her Bloodstone amulet, which was actually in the hands of Belasco's daughter Witchfire. Back in San Francisco, Pixie discovered that Illyana's soulsword was hidden inside Nightcrawler and Illyana appeared to reclaim her soulsword. When she returned, she discovered that Witchfire had taken over Limbo. Illyana was defeated by Witchfire. A group of X-Men made their way to Limbo where they rescued Illyana and defeated Witchfire, ending her plot to release the Elder Gods. She teleported the X-Men back to Earth, where Cyclops persuaded her to stay.
However, she risked the X-Men and New Mutants' lives in a plot to destroy the Elder Gods and was thereafter imprisoned by the X-Men. Following the schism, she was released and she joined Cyclops' Extinction Team.

Group Affiliations
X-Factor, formerly X-Force, Xavier Institute staff, Excalibur, New Mutants
History
Rahne was raised as an orphan by an abusive Scottish pastor Reverend Craig who beat religion into her from an early age. When her mutant powers manifested, Reverend Craig led an angry mob intending to burn her at the stakes. Rahne was rescued and adopted by Moira MacTaggart. When Moira confronted Craig, she learnt that Craig was actually the biological father and the mother had been a prostitute. Moira sent Rahne to the Xavier's Institute where she joined the New Mutants. She formed a strong friendship with Dani Moonstar and discovered that she can establish a psychic link with Dani when she is in her wolf-form. She also developed a crush for Cannonball for a period of time. While the New Mutants went to Asgard, she formed an attraction to wolf-prince Hrimhari. Rahne eventually formed a relationship with teammate Cypher. However, while on a mission, Cypher was killed when he took a bullet meant for Rahne. After the New Mutants took in new members, Rahne formed a short-lived relationship with Rictor.
Rahne was kidnapped to the mutant island Genosha where she was experimented on and thus became mentally bonded to X-Man Havok. Following the defeat of the malevolent psychic entity Shadow King, Rahne joined the government-sponsored X-Factor along with Havok. The mental bond to Havok was eventually removed. Shortly after, she returned to Moira MacTaggert's base on Muir Island and joined the Britain-based Excalibur. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of teammates Captain Britain and Meggan. Excalibur was disbanded shortly after. Rahne and former teammate Douglock stayed behind at Muir Island to assist Moira in her search for a cure to the Legacy Virus. Muir Island came under the attack of Mystique's Brotherhood. Rahne was shot was a neutralizer which removed her powers while Moira was killed in an explosion.
Rahne eventually made her way to the Xavier's Institute where she became a teaching assistant. She also a part-time employee at Jamie Madrox's XXX Investigations. Rahne developed a relationship with student Elixir. A passionate encounter led to Elixir's healing powers restoring Rahne's powers. Rahne accidentally injured Elixir but he was able to use his powers to heal himself. Rahne ended the relationship after knowing student Wallflower was interested in Elixir. When Rahne's relationship with Elixir was exposed by student Wither, who was attracted to Wallflower, Rahne left the school. Rahne began working full-time at Madrox's X-Factor Investigations. She formed a relationship with Rictor which ended when she left X-Factor to join the strike force X-Force following the events of Messiah Complex. Rahne was kidnapped by the anti-mutants religious group Purifiers where she found out that Reverend Craig had joined the group. She was rescued by X-Force while in a drugged state. When she woke up, she attacked the X-Man Archangel and ripped out his wings, delivering them back to Craig. X-Force attacks the Purifiers and Rahne accidentally devoured Craig. Rahne retained no knowledge of having did that.
While recuperating at X-Force's base, she was found by the wolf-prince Hrimhari. After having sex, they were attacked by a trio of Frost Giants. They managed to defeat the Giants, but Wolfsbane fainted. Later, when Wolfsbane became unconscious, Hrimhari brought her to the mutant island Utopia where Dr. Nemesis revealed that Wolfsbane is pregnant. Hrimhari made a pact with the Asgardian goddess of the underworld Hela, where he gave his soul in exchange for a comatose Elixir to be revived. Elixir used his powers to heal Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane also gained enhanced strength and senses from the baby so that she can survive the baby's birth.
Rahne returned to X-Factor where she lied to Rictor that he was the father of the baby. The deception was eventually discovered. When Rahne was about to give birth, she attracted a number of canine and feline gods and demons who wanted the baby. While captured by the god Agamemnon, Rahne gave birth to her baby via her mouth. The baby assaulted Agamemnon with rage and bloodlust which prompted Rahne to denounce her baby. The baby was adopted by Jack Russells. Back at X-Factor, Rahne fell into depression, believing the baby to be punishment for her sins while in X-Force.

The team later took in other members (Magik, Magma, Cypher, Warlock). When Professor X was suffering from fatalistic injuries, he asked a reformed Magneto to take over as mentor of the New Mutants. Magneto reluctantly agreed after which Professor X was brought to the Shi'ar Imperium for treatment.
The New Mutants fought menaces like Donald Pierce and his Reavers, the Hellfire Club and Emma Frost's Hellions. The team also travelled to Asgard, home of the Gods of Norse mythology.
4 wards of X-Factor/X-Terminators (original X-Men) were later added to the team. They are Rictor, Rusty Collins, Skids, Boom Boom (Tabitha Smith).

(2003, New Mutants vol. 2, New X-Men: Academy X) Dani Moonstar, Karma, Wolfsbane and Magma joined the Xavier Institute staff at a time when the Institute opened it doors.
(2008, Young X-Men) The cyborg Donald Pierce posed as Cyclops and tricked a Young X-Men team to attack former New Mutants Cannonball, Sunspot, Dani Moonstar and Magma. However, the ploy was eventually discovered. Moonstar and Sunspot became mentors to the Young X-Men.
