The first thing one has to address when it comes to the New Mutants is the fact that, yes, it’s been 35 years, so they’re not new. You wouldn’t think you’d have to keep explaining this stuff, but for some reason, comic fans can get a bit literal about things. Secondly, their roster was always in a state of flux, adding and losing teenage mutants at random intervals, to the point where Karma, a founding member, disappeared in the team’s second appearance and was gone for a couple of years before returning. With such a tumultuous membership, it’s tough to decide who is and who isn’t a *REAL* OG NM, leading to today’s adolescent query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) needs to see Cannonball, Wolfsbane and whatever Dani Moonstar is calling herself this week, or it’s just another X-team, asking: Which of the New Mutants are absolutely necessary for the team to be the real thing in your mind?
