Characters like Robin and Spider-Man paved the way for the next generation of young superheroes.
They showed us that a younger generation could actually learn from the mistakes of their
predecessors and eventually develop into strong heroes as well.

Now obviously there are a lot of time discrepancies in the comic book world with people being
de-aged and re-aged it all can get a little complex.
So well be talking about the mutants that joined the X-Men while they were young instead.
With that in mind lets get right into todays list of the Top 10 Youngest Mutants
#10 Jubilee First introduced in Chris Claremonts run of
Uncanny X-Men in 1989 this young mutant has gone through a lot.
Fans fell in love with the character in the animated X-Men series due to her relatability
of teens in that era.
She was a beacon of hope for many.
A story of an orphan fleeing her home, stealing food to survive and discovering her power
along the way.
Her mall-rat teenager vibe made people underestimate her full potential though.
With the ability to detonate matter on an atomic level Jubilee is just as powerful as
a new-clee-er fusion bomb.
In her early days she was seen as Wolverines sidekick, always in his shadow, but now as
a grown woman she has truly come into her own.
#9 Quentin Quire Also known as Kid Omega, Quentin joined the
student body of the Xavier Institute after Professor X returned from stopping a war with
Genosha and as he rebuilt the X-Mansion.
Even as a young mutant he stood out amongst his peers as having a bright intellect and
quickly was ushered in as Xaviers prized pupil.
Quentin understood from a very early age that humans didnt really care for mutants.
In fact to remind himself of this Quentin kept a piece of newspaper with him from the
Daily Bugle of the day that he was born.
The main artwork was a photo of a mutant with a whip and a distinctive haircut and clothing.
It represented the fear that humans felt towards mutants, but also served as a motivator for
Quentin.
During one of his major story arcs where he finds out that he was adopted, Quentin decides
to get his haircut just like the mutant from that article.
This search for identity synced up with Quentin really beginning to come into his own.
As Emma Frost said his brain was processing over 10,000 brilliant ideas per second.
#8 Glob Another Young Mutant and fellow member of
the Omega Gang is Glob.
Also known as Robert Herman his skin is completely transparent and made up of living wax.
He too was one of Xaviers top students and dear friend to Kid Omega.
As a kid himself he was well known to be the class clown and troublemaker amongst his peers.
After the mutant fashion designer Jumbo Carnation was killed by an anti-mutant activist Herman
joined the Omega Mutants with Quentin.
Being young and reckless this new gang of mutant activists attacked several humans as
a form of retaliation.
However these youngins would have to learn their lesson the hard way.
After being caught by the X-men, the Omega team was forced to fulfil various humanitarian
work and aid those in need.
#7 Eric Gitter Eric better known as Ink isnt technically
a mutant by birth like most of these people, but his ties to the Young X-Men earn him a
spot.
Eric was a loud mouthed, rude teenager that didnt care what others thought of him.
He was one of the first Young X-Men members that believed the team had been organized
by Cyclops who was later revealed to be Donald Pierce.
As I mentioned Eric isnt your average mutant.
He gained his powers from a tattoo artist that could gift individuals with power of
their own.
Eric decided to get a biohazard tattoo on his hand and when two cops would later enter
the parlor he proceeded to try it out.
The cop immediately drops to the floor and begins to throw up.
With this new power literally in his hands he became a valued member of the former New
Mutants and to his team of Young X-Men.
This however only came after Eric had a change of heart upon realizing he had been tricked
by Donald Pierce.
#6 Blindfold Ruth Aldine is certainly one of the more sad
origin stories in this list.
Born as a mutant with no eyes or open eye sockets her father left both her mom and older
brother only a week after she was born.
Her brother Luca hated Ruth for being a mutant and causing all of the problems in his life.
In an attempt to kill Ruth with a chainsaw his mother was the one who lost her life after
trying to defend her daughter from Luca-s attack.
After this tragic moment in her life Ruth was raised by her aunt in a much more loving
environment.
This is where she truly was able to learn and control her powers.
However even as her brother was set for execution Ruth still appeared to show a sense of family
solidarity.
Luca though was still bitter and during his final moments he manifested astral projection
that would steal half of Ruths power leaving her mind in a state of disarray.
Following that incident Ruth would later attend the Xavier Institute.
#5 Wolf Cub Born Nicholas Gleason, he is a young mutant
that possesses a werewolf-like appearance.
Kind of looks like the love child of Wolverine and Beast.
As a child Nick was an early mutant bloomer.
Some do not develop their powers until puberty, but from the jump Nick transformed into his
wolf-like state.
When his parents died Nick was attacked by two humans with mechanical enhancements that
clearly did not like mutants.
Fortunately for him he was saved by Decibel and Cyclops.
This is when he was brought to Xavier Institute to explore more of how his powers worked and
to be kept in a safe environment.
#4 Anole His real name is Victor Borkowski and unlike
most of the trouble childhood stories from these other young mutants, Victor belonged
to a very loving family.
Despite having reptilian features he led a normal life and was largely accepted by his
community when the mutation began at the age of 13.
Although once the anti-mutant propaganda started his parents began to fear for their sons safety.
So in order to protect him, he was sent to the Xavier Institute to learn and control
his powers.
#3 Rockslide Santo Vaccarro is another young mutant that
would develop his powers pre-decimation.
Since joining the Xavier Institute he had no known contact with any of his family members.
Instead he became close friends with Hellion while training with the Hellion Squad.
Hand picked by Emma Frost Rockslide joined the team and went on to win the Field Day
Tournament which declared them the best squad at the end of the school year.
As I mentioned he developed his power pre-decimation which saw the ScarletWitch creating the reality
known as House of M. In that reality a lot of his fellow students ended up losing their
powers, but he kept his.
#2 Dust Sooraya Qadir was born as a mutant in Afghanistan.
As a child she was kidnapped and sold into slavery.
However when the attackers attempted to remove her headdress she fought back turning them
into dust.
Luckily Fantomex discovered and rescued her, before Wolverine had to come in and take out
the remaining slave traders that had captured Dust.
From there she was taken to safety at the Indian X-Corporation base in Mumbai.
Once arriving at the Xavier Institute Dust was very quiet and nervous.
Not only was there a culture shock she needed to embrace, but due to her immense powers
she was placed into the Special Class of mutants.
#1 Hope Summers If your a fan of Deadpool 2 than youll remember
that Cable had traveled from a desolate future and often name dropped his very powerful daughter
Hope.
After being one of the first mutants born post-decimation in Cooperstown Alaska little
Hope was viewed as a threat.
The Purifiers attacked the town with Hope being the only child that was left unharmed.
Eventually Cable was able to save her and begin to make the claim that she was the messiah.
The one destined to save all mutants and humankind.
However people such as Bishop viewed Hopes birth as quite the opposite.
On the flip side she was seen as the beginning of the end.
An Antichrist of sorts, destined to kill a million humans in six minutes.
Once again this fear turned the humans against the mutants, kicking off another era of mutant
persecution.
Hope is quite possibly the most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe and has been since
birth.
Her link to the Phoenix Force and the ability to mimic the powers of other mutants around
her and even enhance those powers, truly does give Hope to young mutants everywhere.
And that has been the Top 10 Youngest Mutants.
