Because Marvel Comics has presented different variations of the mutant superhero team, the X-Men, now it's time to check out which are the 5 best alternate timelines and the 5 worst timelines. In these multiple timelines, the X-Men have struggled to hold together as a unified team especially after witnessing the death of Professor Charles Xavier.

Created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, members of the X-Men happen to be hated by the rest of society because they are mutants. Born with superhuman abilities, mutants are feared and hated for who they are. Realizing both sides can somehow co-exist, Charles Xavier built the School for Gifted Youngsters because he believed there can be peace between humans and mutants. The road to understanding may be a long one, but Xavier believes the X-Men will find a way to make it happen.

Without further ado, here are the five best alternate X-Men timelines as well as the five worst.
