In 1987, the series was turned over to writer Louise Simonson and illustrator Bret Blevins. Simonson's run was controversial, to say the least, as she wrote Magma out of the book, killed off Cypher, temporarily added new characters like Bird-Brain and Gosamyr as team members (both of whom were extremely unpopular and reviled by fans), and shortly thereafter returned Magik to childhood. She also folded the X-Terminators, a group of young wards of X-Factor into The New Mutants.

Appearances in other media

• The animated TV series X-Men: Evolution (2000-2003) featured a group called the New Mutants who, like their comic book counterparts, were a junior team living at the Professor X's school concurrently with the X-Men. The team featured Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Magma, Boom-Boom and Sunspot. Other members, such as Iceman, Jubilee, Berzerker and Multiple Man were not New Mutants in the comic book series, but were featured in other X-Men comics. Conversely the character of Doug Ramsey was mentioned in the series bible as a friend of Kitty Pryde, but was never seen on screen either as Doug or Cypher.

• New Mutants is the name given to the 'race' of Mutants on the television show Mutant X.

• It has been rumored by Zak Penn, screenwriter of X-Men: The Last Stand, that if that film is a success he will direct a fourth installment of the film series. While no details have been released, it is believed that it may be an adaptation of New Mutants, featuring the younger mutants from the films, such as Iceman, Rogue, Colossus and Kitty Pryde.
