If you’ve ever been confused about the character relationships within Marvel’s X-Men comics timeline, you may now have some much needed help.
To help promote his comic book shop, UK-based graphic designer Joe Stone has created an X-Men Family Tree to help navigate who’s related to who, who’s romantically linked to each other, and sets of prominent arch-nemesis.
Check out the image here at right (click for larger, full view).
I have at least a decade of dedicated X-Men comic book story reading under my belt and even I didn’t recognize all the character ties, which is why Stone probably added the text at the bottom that reads, “Confused? Read more comics.”
Can’t go wrong with advice like that.
For anyone who’d like to download it, Stone was nice enough to upload a high resolution version.
