X-Men Legends Unite: Nightcrawler, Colossus & Thunderbird Will Get Solo Projects for 50th Anniversary in 2025!

2025 marks a special occasion for three legendary X-Men characters, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird, as each will star in their individual comic book series to honor their 50th birthdays. These remarkable characters were initially brought to life by creators Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, debuting together in ‘Giant-Size X-Men’ #1 back in 1975.

According to Tom Brevoort, Marvel’s Senior Vice President and Executive Editor, this announcement was made official through his Substack platform, where he unveiled some thrilling details regarding the upcoming projects.

Hey Kevin, let’s put an end to this strict equality requirement among characters, shall we? We’ve got plans to honor Nightcrawler and Colossus this year, alongside Thunderbird. Once they have their individual titles established, we’ll celebrate them separately in those respective titles.

Brevoort clarified that these particular characters would be starring in their own shows, signifying half a century since they first appeared. In response to a fan’s query regarding commemorating Nightcrawler and Colossus’ milestones, he suggested it was high time to prioritize individual character development over equal focus on all.

It was verified that both Nightcrawler and Colossus will receive recognition, with an additional series dedicated to Thunderbird as well.

Beyond my personal endeavors, there’s buzz about potential ties to ‘Ms. Marvel: Second Genesis.’ This tale draws inspiration from the iconic first issue of ‘Giant-Size X-Men,’ where in a comic timeline, Ms. Marvel is envisioned as a member of the X-Men team from that particular issue. This connection underscores the significance of these characters’ milestones even further.
