For the past few months, I’ve been working on Marvel Mayhem's title ‘Learning Gen-X Style’. Being a big Generation X fan myself, I took on this project in this fan created Marvel universe, as a chance to give some of the Generation X members a second chance. It also allowed me a chance to put one of my favorite characters into a new position, and a way to show her as a strong character. As the series has progressed, it has allow me to throw in new twists, which can have effects elsewhere. So for those who have been reading up, or haven’t had a chance to yet, here is the Learning Gen-X Style library, with all stories in it featuring the Gen-X’ers, with links and summaries.
Richard Cale: The Day His Life Changed: This tale acts as a back story for the original character, Richard Cale, and details the day he met Yvette, and crossed the path of Emplate.
Learning Gen-X Style #1 - Setting Up: In the wake of the disaster that had previously been the Massachusetts Academy, Charles Xavier had offered the White Queen, Emma Frost, a chance a redemption, especially as he learned of a new threat to mutants everywhere. Now, as the school is ready to move forward, they make an offer to two experts about this new threat, but little do they know that a spy is on their way to the school as well.
Learning Gen-X Style #2 - Incoming Class: As the school prepares to open its door, Emma Frost finds out the difficulty of having two people who have been on the run for years. She is also introduced to the six new students for the school, but it seems almost all of them have secrets, the most devastating being that they are in contact with the very foe that would threaten the school most.
Learning Gen-X Style #3 - Siblings and Secrets: With the school open for a few weeks, its existence is no longer a secret, as Emma’s worst fears for the school start to come true. To make matters worse, Emplate, the very threat they are trying to prep the students for, is closing in on their location. This prompts the teachers to decide on a very risky move, which means leaving the sanctuary of the school grounds, a sanctuary that may disappear in a few days time.
Generation X/Thunderbolts #1 - Written by ImpurestCheese, This installment starts setting up the events in Seattle, where as Generation X starts to infiltrate the refuge camp there, in an effort to prep the mutant population there for the threat of Emplate, the Thunderbolts have their first encounter with Emplate, which shows how prepared the fiend is.
Generation X/Thunderbolts #2 - Written by ImpurestCheese. This installment opens with a separation of the team, giving Emplate a chance to capture his two main targets. After that battle, the teams come together, only to be surrounded by a force neither is prepared to battle. What is worse, both teams are missing one member.
Learning Gen-X Style #4 - Unsafe in Seattle: Part three of the Thunderbolts/Generation X crossover event. The students fight, for the first time, the true magnitude of the enemy they have been training to defend themselves from. What they don’t know, is that the spy is making their move, a move that could not only cost them their lives, but also lead to the loss of the lives of the Thunderbolts. What is worse, is that there is more surprises in store for the Gen X’ers.
Learning Gen-X Style #5 - Many New Things: After the events in Seattle, the team is in for some new things. A new school, and a new teammate.

Learning Gen-X Style #6 - Tension Building: As the school gets back to normal at its new location, various things start to cause tensions to build. Crushes appear to be causing some tension. Certain discoveries are becoming issues as well. What tops it all is the arrival of an attacker from out of nowhere, someone who should not be there at all? This individual leads some to believe that not all is as it seems at the school, and that the one pulling the strings may be discovered.
Learning Gen-X Style #7 - Birthday Backlash: Things continue as if normal at the school, but the place has had a special event. Yvette has had her eighteenth birthday. Unfortunately, after the party, a psychic wave goes through the school, causing some good, and bad things to happen, and those bad things that put some really bad things in motion.
Learning Gen-X Style #8 - Disastrous Discoveries: A little time has pasted since the events of the birthday, and some discoveries are made. A stranger on the ground. An odd channel on the television. These lead up to one confrontation, followed quickly by another, and things go bad for all.
Learning Gen-X Style #9 - Deals and Contracts: Having been in the Mojo-verse for days, the group finds out what Mojo makes his stars do. Unfortunately, they get an offer to get home, but the cost is too high, especially as the offering comes from a former ally, and the cost is the freedom of two.
Learning Gen-X Style #10 - Technical Difficulties: As their time continues, the team finds out that help has arrived, but is in the same boat as they are.

Astonishing X-Men #12 - Escape from the Mojoverse!: As Emplate tips his hand, some clever thinking allow the joint X-Men/school team to make their escape.

Learning Gen-X Style #11 - Getting out of Showbiz: As one team had went to the location where the X-Men first arrived in the Mojoverse, the other team makes its way to allow them all to escape, but the plan has difficulties, which are all thanks to Emplate.
Learning Gen-X Style #12 - Recovery and Revelation: With the team recovering from their time with Mojo, they are about to have new changes begin. An new foe shows their face. At least one new student at the school. A new building. A new headmaster. A dark secret gets revealed.
Learning Gen-X Style #13 - The New School: As the school gets into full swing again, the new headmaster learns what not to say to certain people, and the new students start fitting in. Unfortunately for them, a new threat is starting to emerge, recruiting another threat to help them, while another threat is planning an assault on another team.
Learning Gen-X Style #14 - Recruitment: With the school now in Ireland, a new teacher joins the school, but they arrive with other plans. To make matters worse, the new threat makes their next move, and furthers their goals to take control of the school. And if that wasn’t bad enough, one of Mojo’s minions seems to have a link to the new school, but also has plans of her own.
Learning Gen-X Style #15 - A Chink in the Armour: Things appear to get worse for the school. One student is losing part of their powers.
