Morrison and Quitely replaced many individualized superhero costumes with coordinated uniforms that made the team resemble a public rescue and educational organization. The look also echoed the leather uniforms used in the first X-Men film, released in 2000.

The core run covers New X-Men 114 through 154, plus the 2001 Annual. Major arcs include E Is for Extinction, Riot at Xavier's, Murder at the Mansion, Planet X, and Here Comes Tomorrow.
