Marvels Mutants reimagined… X-Men Noir
Marvel finally explained the mysterious Marvel Black and White teaser images they’ve been releasing over the past few months… Imagine the X-Men first united in the 1930’s at a reform school in upstate New York. The Xavier School for Wayward Youth is run by run by Professor Xavier, a so-called Professor of Crime. This event is firmly rooted in the dark shadowy noir genre of detective books by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and classic films like Chinatown.

the series answers the question…
What if these characters had been created in the Timely [Marvel Comics' early predecessor] age of the late ’30s and ’40s instead of the Marvel age of the ’60s?’ What if they were conceived as pulp action characters rather than superheroes?
