The last couple of months we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the X-Men with a variety of features, such as a countdown of the 50 Greatest X-Men Stories of All-Time (based on YOUR votes) as well as a collection of Top Five Lists involving the X-Men (like the Top Five X-Men Battles) and a collection of Cool X-Men Moments (like the time Wolverine stabbed that guy or the other time Wolverine stabbed that other guy). I thought it would be nice to collect all of these features into one handy dandy spot for you all, rather than forcing you to flip through all of the Avengers features, as well (as we celebrated THEIR 50th Anniversary last month, as well).
Enjoy!
