![]() Originally the comic was entitled Gen X, but Marvel objected due to the similarity to its popular X-men series and its upcoming title Generation X. Scott Campbell gave the team a younger, manga-inspired look that proved popular. Visually the team is heavily inspired by Jim Lee. Their intention was to create a younger team that was "less angry" and "less bloodthirsty" than other superhero teams that were popular at the time. Gen 13 was created in 1994 by writers Jim Lee and Brandon Choi and artist J. Together, they decided to stick together, with Lynch training them so they can put their powers to good use. They were trained like a ROTC program and secretly dosed with a chemical activator that would make them “gen-active.” Once they started developing superpowers and became suspicious of their role at the training facility, the teenagers escaped with the help of John Lynch, an IO agent and friend of their parents. These teenagers were invited on the auspices of a government internship, offering specialized experience and substantial college scholarship.
