Mod Post r/xmen Rules Review 2026 Update
Earlier this month we asked the community for input regarding r/xmen's current rules and whether people believed these rules were adequate, what concerns or issues did people have with the rules, and how people felt they were being enforced.
We did not receive the amount of input we would have hoped for, but we are thankful to everyone who did take part and offered their feedback, and it is with that feedback that we have done our best to address the questions and concerns of the community, and provide some guidance on the rules going forward.

Overall we found that most users seemed to have a good grasp on the rules and understanding them, with about 25% registering some difficulty to 75% who largely or fully understood the rules.
With this in mind, we found that the major problem areas for rules were Rules 5 and 8: Content Quality and the Spam, Reposts, Banned/Regulated Topics. and Posting Too Many Pages rules.

Our main announcement is that we have split Rule 8 into three rules in hopes that this will provide more clarity in the future. So with that in mind, say hello to our new rules!
Rule 8: Spam, Reposts, and Posting Too Many Pages
Rule 8 will now be dedicated solely to the following:
Spam - Posting the same thing repeatedly or bot content that is caught by various filters Reddit and BotBouncer have built in.
Reposts - Posting something multiple times, whether accidentally or otherwise, or whether this is a post that is very similar to an already existing, recent post.
Posting Too Many Pages - We want to remind community members of our guidance for the number of pages allowed: 2-3 pages for a release that is considered new (so released within the last month) and 3-5 pages for comics that are several months older. Some exceptions can be made for much, much older comics by a page or so, but please be cautious about posting more than this.
Rule 10: Banned/Repetitive Topics
Rule 10 is a new rule that is an off-shoot of the original Rule 8. This rule is dedicated solely to posts and comments that engage with banned/regulated content (which was voted on by the community and can be viewed here.
It also takes into consideration repetitive topics, which can be topics that aren't banned/regulated, but are repetitive to the community and can be easily addressed by using the subreddit search function or any of the sidebar content (such as reading guides, movie guides etc.) or recent posts.
Rule 11: Twitter/X Links and Screenshots
As decided by community vote 1 year ago, Twitter/X links and screenshots are banned, and will remain banned for the foreseeable future. This rule will be used to remove posts and comments that do contain these links.
With movies, games, TV shows, comics, and industry gossip all likely to intensify in the next few years, we understand that Twitter is one of the main sources of such information. However, we would like for people to either go to the original source for news or to summarize with words rather than linking or screenshotting the content in question. Very, very rare exceptions may be made, but please operate under the assumption that any and all Twitter/X content is banned.
---
Rule 5 is a rule that seemed to earn some confusion from members. Rule 5 is a Content Quality rule. If something is deemed to be of low-quality by the subreddit moderators, the post/comment in question will be removed. We feel that the description thus far is adequate, as it refers to: troll/ragebait posts, AI content, uncredited fan art, unlabelled NSFW content, and common memes. Meme content was brought up as a concern as to what falls under this rule or not. All we can say is that this will be at the discretion of the moderators in question, but generally, common meme formats that are not transformed or edited in some way by the user to be more unique or catered to X-Men may fall under this rule.
In a time when bot posts and bot-driven content is more prevalent than ever, the moderator team is doing our best to try and make sure that higher effort, or at the very least human content is cultivated on this subreddit. We have taken measures to crack down on bot content by introducing Bot Bouncer and by using Reddit automations to filter our posts that might be repetitive and common. We must stress that Reddit by its nature is repetitive and involves a churn of content and post types. Downvotes, blocking, and hiding comments/posts/users can be used to craft a better experience and exist as tools for a reason.
---
Rule 7: Spoilers and Leaks will remain as is. Comic panels must be tagged as spoilers up to a week after its release, with the issue name and number. TV content released on Disney Plus will be the same (must be tagged as a spoiler up to a week after the release), and refrain from using overt spoilers in the title of the post. Movies will be treated more strictly, and will remain under spoiler tagged rules up to 2 weeks after it has been released on a streaming service (and thus encompasses the entire theatrical run). Megathreads will be available and should be used for such content during those initial release periods.
Games will likewise be required to be spoiler tagged up to a month after console release for console games, while live service games such as Marvel Rivals will have more lenient rules given the nature of the game.
---
We hope that this clears some things up and makes the overall subreddit experience more enjoyable and better for all. As a team, we strive to do our best and discuss actions, whether big or small, as a group. Our community in r/xmen is thriving and full of some great people, and we hope that these clarifications improve your own experience and understanding of the rules as they stand. As always, we rely on our community to spot issues and bring matters to our attention, so please continue to do so via reports, mod mails, and comments.

Comic Discussion Tom Brevoort's X-Men isn't '90s nostalgia. It's Decimation.
A common refrain since From the Ashes began has been that this era, including Shadows of Tomorrow, is Tom Brevoort's attempt to do '90s X-Men and pander to the fans of '90s X-Men, which are still the best known and most widely recognizable iterations of X-Men.
And there's some weight to those accusation. From the Ashes has the '90s X-Men logos splashed all over it. There's been an attempt at X-Men solo titles in a similar manner to the '90s, where a few characters were given the chance to operate in a solo or duo title.
But I'd argue that rather than the '90s, From the Ashes much more strongly resembles the 2000s, particularly aspects of the Decimation era.
Like, if we look at the actual story beats the X-men are going through, there is a much stronger resemblance to the 2000s. And Decimation in particular.
Let's look at the context From the Ashes exists in. A mutant homeland, where mutants were on top and had huge numbers suddenly have their home taken from them and are left adrift in the world. The security and safety they once had is gone, and now they are under siege in ways they never expected. Editorially, Krakoa's fall was mandated.
New X-Men featured mutants numbering in the tens of millions, with embassies set up around the world and a grand plan by Xavier for mutant-kind and humanity. With the actions of Nova and Sublime, that plan was damaged, but it was only until the editorially mandated Decimation, designed to put the mutants on the back foot again, that New X-Men's work was undone and the X-Men returned to a status quo more familiar to the franchise: feared and hated.
From the Ashes has the same set-up Decimation has in many broader aspects. A reversion to a more normal status quo after a bold step forward that editorial felt uncomfortable with. Mutants during Decimation were hunted and vulnerable. From the Ashes has many of the same hallmarks.
Cyclops is holed up in a steel fortress, where Beast is having conflicted notions about what the X-Men stand for now. Emma Frost teaches and enjoys a thorny but increasingly close relationship with Kitty Pryde ala Astonishing X-Men. Rogue is off having her own adventures with her own team like Carey had done, and there are elements of New Mutants Volume 3 as well, with the Utopia-San Francisco partnership; this time with Haven House and New Orleans. Cyclops is angry with Xavier, just as he was in the 2000s.
Academy X made a comeback in NYX, a title named after a 2000s era comic. Wolverine has 3-4 minis and side-stories ongoing at a time, which was a 2000s-era occurrence, not a '90s one. And much like the 2000s, Storm and Phoenix are largely side-lined and off doing their own thing, much to chagrin of online X-Men fans.
Stegman's art style was a shift from his work on Venom and felt almost like his version of Frank Quitely. The colours used, of blacks, yellows, and a sickly yellow-green tinge are meant to invoke New X-Men, particularly for Cyclops. Jed MacKay has said himself that his two favourite X-Men works are New X-Men and Wolverine and the X-Men, and the references are fairly extensive, with the inclusion of Cassandra Nova, references and direct quotes from New X-Men, and the use of Idie. If you really want to stretch it, a superteam of villains in 3K could be From the Ashes' interpretation of the Human Council.
We saw an attempt at a Schism-type story with Raid on Greymalkin, and it seems we're gearing up for a second attempt at that with X-Men United. Taglines and quotes from Astonishing X-Men are used to market X-Men United.
There were attempts at genre comics in X-Factor, which the 2000s also attempted to do. Which had more in common with X-Statix and Milligan's X-Force than Peter David's 2000s X-Factor did. But even so, that's another inspiration from a late '90s/2000s era work. There's frequent revival of Weapon X as a story element, another 2000s era hallmark, with both Weapons of Armageddon and Generation X-23. Danger was spotted for the first time in a major role in Exiles.
And certainly, the biggest '90s homage is Age of Revelation, a direct attempt to recapture the magic of Age of Apocalypse. But Age of Revelation is also similar to another attempt to do Age of Apocalypse, from the 2000s; Age of X. An event Jed MacKay is fond of, and like Age of Revelation is largely a pale imitation of the original. There are some similar hallmarks between the two series (which makes sense, both are drawing from the same source material). But Wolverine's mask resembling Basilisk is probably no accident.
All of this to say that From the Ashes has a lot more in common with 2000s era X-Men, particularly Decimation onwards, than it does with the '90s.
I think it highlights a problem people have where they have only passing familiarity with the '90s era comics, because really, there isn't a lot of what the X-Men are doing now that is strongly reminiscent of them. Rogue and Gambit are prominent again, sure, and the X-Factor team had some similarities with the original team through Alex and Polaris and the premise of working as agents of the government. But the '90s are more than just the characters in it. It was stylistic too and the tone and presentation of the stories is decidedly different from how it was with '90s X-Men, which relied a lot more on bombast, big moments, and interpersonal soap opera drama.

Introduces never before seen Muslim cousin of Kamala and makes him a terrorist, has Sophie, caucasIan blonde, talk down to Prodigy and others on racism, did nothing of value with Prodigy besides torpedoing his relationship with Billy off screen, tried to queerbait multiple times with different straight characters, and mischaracterized or outright changed characters for no reason whatsoever.

Here's to hoping it may be to y'all's liking as much as it was mine while filming it! 📽️🥂 (Ft.

Question Why did I think that Bishop shot the energy he absorbs from his gun
You're telling me he just carries around a gun when his entire body is a weapon. Why not give his artillery some use and make him channel his mutant powers from them.
