The world's favorite band of merry mutants turned 50 this week! September 10th, 1963 marked the debut of Marvel's Avenger's and theX-Men comics compliments of Marvel's dynamic duo:Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. X-men was singled handedly responsible for my interest in comics. The 90's cartoon was the highlight of my Saturday mornings as a kid, that and my Danger Room bathroom reenactions. Don't ask.
X-Men has always been a story I treasured, crafted at the heart of the Civil Rights movement, it's taught the world acceptance and to celebrate individuality. In short if there were no X-Men, who knows the type of person I'd be today. I could give you a ton of backstory, enough to make your eyes fall out, but that's what Cerebro and Xcylopedias are for, right? So to celebrate the diversity and the fun that X-men brings to the the comic panels, I've created a list of 20 pieces of nerd memorabilia that should appeal to every X-fan.
