New limited series changes X-Men history so that Wolverine, not Xavier founded the X-Men

Both Marvel and DC have been big on redefining their respective comic universes lately, but even casual comic book observers know that it was Charles Xavier that officially founded the X-Men when he started the School for Gifted Youngsters. But a new five issue series changes changes that to suggest that it was really Wolverine that assembled the X-Men. Waaait huh?

A new five issue limited series this August will reveal that it was in fact Wolverine who assembled the first team of mutants in the Marvel Universe. Written by Christos Gage and with art from Neal Adams, The First X-Men takes place before X-Men #1 and it sees Logan attempt to recruit both Xavier (who turns him down) AND Magneto to his team. Rather than a school, Logan will put together a team of soldiers which includes Sabretooth, Magneto, Bomb and a new female character. The series is set firmly in continuity and will feature a cameo from Namor the Sub-Mariner before he regained his memory in the pages of Fantastic Four.

So… that doesn’t make much sense right now, but it will be interesting to read.
