X-Statix

This series was a direct continuation of Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's revamp of X-Force (1st series) #116-129. It followed a rotating cast of young mutants desperate for fame and willing to kill or die for it while on reality television. The series was surprisenly self-contained but did guest star the Avengers at the tail end of its run. The story ended with a majority of the main characters dead but many of them have returned in future series. The weird camera blob Doop was never fully explained but is one of the few characters to appear in main X-men titles as he is apparently friends with Wolverine. One character named Henrietta Hunter was originally based on Princess Diana. Many of the characters returned in two mini-series titled The X-Cellent, written by the original creative team.
