X-Man (aka Nathanial Grey, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Steve Skroce, the character first appeared in X-Man #1 (March 1995). X-Man is an alternate version of the regular Marvel Universe hero Cable, hailing from the "Age of Apocalypse" (Earth-295) reality. He is the biological son of his dimension's Scott Summers and Jean Grey, born of genetic tampering by Mr. Sinister. His first name is derived from his creator's (Mr Sinister's) real name, Nathaniel Essex, and his last name from his genetic mother Jean Grey. Due to not being infected by a techno-organic virus as Cable was, Nate achieved vast telepathic and telekinetic powers (reflecting those that Cable would have had without the virus), and was one of the most powerful mutants in existence during his lifetime)

Comment: My friend Missy and I used to go to movies together and tried to take turns picking the movie. Back in 2013 when the second movie came out that is what she picked. I had heard about The Hunger Games because it was in the news so much, but it wasn't the type of book I usually read. On the way to the theater Missy filled me in on some of the background from the first movie/book. When the movie was over, she asked me what I thought and I immediately said I had to read the books. I was hooked. I have since read several other books by other authors that are of the same genre.
