Reply to comment by tenehemia in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone

Starting in 1975, there was great writing from Chris Claremont, great art from many top talents, and the characters themselves had a lot of appeal. It was a killer combination.
