Generation X is the name of several comic book titles featuring the team the Generation X and published by Marvel Comics, beginning with the original Generation X comic book series which debuted in 1994.

Generation X debuted during the 1994 "Phalanx Covenant" storyline, and appeared in their own monthly series in September 1994 with Generation X #1 (November 1994).[1]

Generation X consisted of teenage mutants designed to reflect the cynicism and complexity of the series' namesake demographic.[2]
