It’s a freakin’ comic book!
You think it’s easy being a superhero? Hah! If only it were just a matter of saving the world, yeah, sure, they can handle that. But all this other stuff–! Like for instance:

Alas, the X-Men have been told their name is obsolete. They were good enough to let a bunch of female superheroes into their club, and by including them, they laid themselves open to being called uninclusive. So Marvel Comics’ executive vice president says the X-Men brand is outdated. Looks like they’re gonna need a new one.
“X-Persons”? Wow, doesn’t that have a ring to it!
And I just thought of another promble with “X-Men.” What if somebody who doesn’t know comic books should hear that as “Ex-men”? They might think “former men.” Trannies, maybe.
How about “X-Bipeds”? Or “X-Living Organisms”? Nah, not inclusive enough.
Ooh-ooh, I’ve got it! The new name for the X-Men!
Brand X.
There! Absolutely can’t beat that. Problem solved!
