For 50 years, Giant-Size X-Men #1 has stood as one of the most important moments in Marvel history, reshaping the X-Men forever. Now, Marvel celebrates this milestone with an all-new, five-part event spanning the greatest eras of mutantkind!
From the emergence of Krakoa in Giant-Size X-Men #1 to Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse, House of M and The Dark Phoenix Saga, history has shaped – and shattered – the X-Men time and again. But what if those moments held deeper secrets? What if the past could be rewritten? Acclaimed X-Scribes Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing join forces with superstar artists including legendary X-artist Adam Kubert for an epic saga that takes fans on a mind-bending journey through the X-Men’s greatest events – revealing mysteries long buried and secrets that will define the future of Marvel’s mutants! Each of the five one-shots also features a Revelations Back-Up Story by X-Men creators past and present that uncover hidden moments that will alter the X-Men’s future! Fans can experience a special prelude to the event by picking up FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2025: FANTASTIC FOUR/GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1 on May 3.
The past isn’t set in stone. The future is up for grabs. And X-Men history will never be the same!
Ever since she discovered she was a mutant, Kamala Khan has been balancing her previous life as Ms. Marvel with her role as a leader in the new community – but her conflicted identity has come at a deep personal cost. Now, pulled into the distant past by an unhinged villain with deep ties to mutant history, Ms. Marvel will witness the iconic birth of the Uncanny X-Men and their first encounter with Krakoa from an all-new, all-different perspective. But when history begins to change...can either Kamala Khan or the X-Men themselves survive the experience? Plus, a REVELATIONS STORY by Al Ewing and Sara Pichelli that introduces the X-Man that never was!
“No hype: every issue of GIANT-SIZE is here to blow your mind and break your heart,” Lanzing and Kelly promise. “Mutantkind is the grandest, most sprawling canvas in the Marvel canon—moreover, it’s the one the Hivemind’s been arguing and geeking out about since we were teenagers at our local comic shop. Now, alongside the absolute legend Adam Kubert and three more of the best artists in the industry, we’re posed to completely wreck and reassemble the history of the X - with our favorite hero Kamala Khan front and center. It’s an honor, a joy, and a huge responsibility. Free Comic Book Day is just a taste. What comes next will be marvelous.”
Check out Kubert’s main cover, an event guide and interior artwork. Preorder GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1 at your local comic shop and stay tuned for additional GIANT-SIZE X-MEN announcements in the weeks ahead!

"X-Men: Second Coming" also did this with Hope Summers. "Trial of Magneto" simply served to remove her culpability for "House of M", in a 'legal' sense. Nothing actually got resolved, in a physical sense.
She only gave one mutant their powers back in Children Crusade (Rictor) before Doom stole the Lifeforce from her and she couldn't do it anymore. She did help Hope in AvsX, but like I said it wasn't until TOM that she was actually allowed to undo HOM

Children's Crusade just had a nonsensical way of trying to explain Disassembled and still failed at that, since it didn't address the main reason for it .

It's one thing to update something due to the ol' sliding timescale, or even undoing really poorly made editorial choices (Avenging Angel Punisher, for example), but taking perfectly fine past stories and then cramming them with senseless "but... what if _____ where there instead?" seems both hollow and honestly a little disrespectful to the material. But some people like continuity and some people like to tread all over it, I happen to be the former.
I agree, I never liked the concept of " a story is never completed, only abandoned". Mucking around again and again with a set tale is not only wishy-washy, it diminishes both the original story AND its revision.Start at your beginning, say what you are going to say, get to the end, then stop. pulling repeated "Columbo's" by going ",,,,,oh, and ONE MORE THING....." is exhausting. Tell a completely different story instead of something that works before. Stop beating the same horse to death.

Just have Kamala Khan present when Wanda says "No more mutants" and have her revert back to being an Inhuman.

I think they've scraped passed the bottom of the barrel and hit china
Ok, yes, I know this is silly, and inserting Ms Marvel (through time travel, yeah?) into key points of X-history is a really lame idea,...but I don't think I can help myself. I'm gonna get these. And as much as I love Adam Kubert, I'm glad Rod Reis is drawing a cover. I much prefer when the interior artist is also the cover artist. Otherwise it feels like false advertising.
But back to Giant Size, this idea kinda reminds me of DC's Dark Universe tales...we get a glimpse of something we hadn't seen before. I for one (having just reread Dark Phoenix) have always been bothered by not seeing Jean's transformation back to Dark Phoenix on the moon. We were told what happened, but didn't see it. If these Giant Size cover things like that, I'll be a happy camper.
