A video game for the Sega Genesis based on the rebooted version was released in 1992, being developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Sega of America, Inc.[3] Campiti first approached Lawrence about the project in the spring of 1986; at that point the comic was going to be titled Young Ex-Mutant Samurai Humans[1] (see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

The affiliated publisher Amazing released an expanded special edition reprint of #1 the same year, followed by issues #2–5.

Contractual problems resulted in a 1987 move to Pied Piper Comics,[1] where the series was retitled Lawrence & Lim's Ex-Mutants for issues #6–8.

The same year, Pied Piper also released a one-shot publication: Lawrence & Lim's Ex-Mutants Microseries: Erin.

After a legal battle,[citation needed] Malibu/Eternity begin a shared universe for the characters called Shattered Earth.

In a near future, an all-out war has decimated the planet, and the hapless survivors and their offspring have been horribly mutated by the toxins released into the environment.

A lone scientist, the three-eyed Dr. Emmanuel Cugat, selects five mutants, one male and four females, to be genetically altered, resequencing their mutated DNA to restore them to humanity.

[12] In the aftermath, Dr Cugat takes control of the mutant city and incite a new religion, with the Ex-Mutants as gods, to secure his rulership.

[13] They return to the Wild Knights village but discover that it was destroyed by a mutant warlord called Frog.

[14] Distressed by the failure of his project, Dr Cugat snaps, rescues his children from Frog and decides to destroy them and the city of Brooklyn with a Russian nuclear bomb.

[16] After a legal battle, Malibu Comics continued the story with Ex mutants: the Shattered Earth Chronicles.

Lorelei was left behind in Samora, to train and expand her latent psychic powers and help in the bringing of civilization to Earth.

[18] They also entered the domain of a warlord called Baron Wasteland and battled the Sorcerer Dahlgren, brother of Simak.

[20] The Ex-Mutants settled down in the Baron's Domain, but did nothing to improve the situation, until Lorelei returned from Samora to recreate civilization in a consumerism manner.
