[2] Unlike its predecessor the New Mutants, the team was not mentored by X-Men founder Charles Xavier at his New York estate, but by Banshee and former supervillainess Emma Frost at a splinter school in western Massachusetts.

Banshee, distraught and possibly suffering from a breakdown, founds the X-Corps, a group of mutant adventurers who came into conflict with the X-Men over their questionable methodology and membership.

In 2006's X-Men: Deadly Genesis, Banshee is killed by Vulcan, Cyclops and Havok's long-lost brother, while attempting to rescue an airplane full of innocents.

A mini-series titled Generation M debuted in November 2005, focusing on the after-effects from House of M, in which Scarlet Witch uses her hex/mutant powers to wish for "no more mutants".

Chamber later showed up in New Excalibur #9 (September 2006) as a patient at a London Hospital, recounting to a so-called Dr. Hartley the story of how right before his powers burned out on "M-Day" they went supernova, once again destroying his face and chest.

In fact, Chamber's great-grandfather and Hartley, revealed to be Frederick Slade from the aforementioned limited series, were the only survivors of the original Clan Akkaba.

Like most of the team, his new powers are more technological in nature, and it appears he can form solid energy projections or sonic blasts much like Songbird or Banshee.

Immediately after Generation X's cancellation, Emma became a core member of Grant Morrison's New X-Men team where she demonstrated the secondary mutation of being able to transform her body into diamond.

She became a regular cast member in Uncanny X-Men under writer Chuck Austen, and experienced a brief flirtation with Angel despite being many years younger than him.

While it was originally intended to be an ongoing series aimed at the teen market, launched as part of Marvel Comics' Tsunami line, it was retroactively dubbed a mini-series and canceled with issue #6, due to disappointing sales.

Jubilee was also depowered during the "Decimation" storyline and was shown lamenting her lost powers, but reluctant to ask Wolverine for help, convincing herself that she needed to grow up and handle it herself.

A subsequent four-issue mini-series, Wolverine and Jubilee, detailed her process of coming to terms with this change, and she remains a central cast member in X-Men, having found[10] and adopted[11] a baby named Shogo.

After being seduced by a dupe of Multiple Man's,[12] she developed a romantic interest in him, but his feelings laid with her teammate Siryn, which led to friction within the group.

Penance (now renamed "Hollow")[13] appeared in the limited series Loners, where she was held captive by a ring of drug makers in order to harvest her genetics to create MGH.

[16] Jubilee and Skin were shown to be living in LA in a story in the anthology series X-Men Unlimited, sharing an apartment and attempting to adjust to civilian life.

The film featured Banshee and Emma Frost as the headmasters of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and M, Skin, Mondo, Jubilee and two new characters, Buff and Refrax, as students (Chamber, Husk, Synch, and Penance were not written in because the budget didn't allow for the special effects their powers required).

This team will include Jubilee, Chamber, Husk, Skin, and M.[23] In 1999, there were plans for a Generation X live action series that would've aired on Fox Kids.
