Synopsis for "Renewal"

Various mutants around the world discover that they have extraordinary powers. After going to Professor Xavier for help, these mutants must go up against the Hellfire Club's Donald Pierce, who has recruited Cannonball and captured Professor X. Having saved Xavier from Pierce, the mutants, along with the defecting Cannonball, are given uniforms by Xavier and designated the New Mutants.

Notes

• Karma last appeared in Marvel Team-Up #100.
  

Trivia

• The story in this graphic novel was originally going to be used for New Mutants #1. Due to a delay in the publishing schedule of the Marvel Graphic Novels, Jim Shooter had Louise Simonson repurpose the work-in-progress of New Mutants #1 into a graphic novel, which also required her to add roughly 10 more pages to pad out the story.^[2]
