A new Deathlok, Michael Collins, debuted in the miniseries Deathlok #1-4 (July-Oct. 1990, reprinted as Deathlok Special #1-4 the following year). He was the second Deathlok to be created in the modern era and also the second to be created for the traditional Marvel Universe.

X-men Volume 2 was renamed X-Men: Legacy starting in February 2008 with issue #208. The new title reflects a shift in the series direction to focusing on solo X-Men characters versus being a team-based book as the title was previously.[11]
The re-titled series follows on from the conclusion of the Messiah Complex crossover, where Professor X was accidentally shot in the head by Bishop. Shortly after the X-Men presumed him deceased, his body disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown. X-Men: Legacy initially followed the Professor’s presumed road to recovery as well as the encounters he faced, such as a battle with the mutant Exodus on the psychic plane and discoveries about his past that include Mr. Sinister.
Many characters have been featured in the title, including Rogue, Magneto, Gambit, and the Acolytes. The title also featured flashbacks relevant to the ongoing present story as well as answered dangling plot lines throughout X-Men continuity.
Following the “Civil War II“, storyline, the title was canceled and replaced with a new volume of the regular Avengers title. The roster was also changed, where following Iron Man being placed in a coma, and Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Nova, and Ms. Marvel’s resignation from the team (who instead teamed up with other heroes their own age to form their own group the Champions), the remaining three members are paired up with Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Hercules and Wasp (Nadia Pym) to form a new team.
The series began in October 1993 and lasted 35 issues along with two specials. It spawned a line of action figures, mostly featuring the more popular characters in the book. In issue #20, the title received a minor makeover, officially joining the 2099 imprint and changing its name to X-Men 2099 A.D., the “A.D.” standing for “After Doom“. At the series’ end, it was folded into 2099: World of Tomorrow, though members of the team were rarely seen after that point.

Writer Christopher Priest‘s and penciller Mark Texeira‘s 1998 series The Black Panther vol. 3 used Erik Killmonger, Venomm, and other characters introduced in “Panther’s Rage”, together with new characters such as State Department attorney Everett Ross; the Black Panther’s adopted brother, Hunter; and the Panther’s protégé, Queen Divine Justice. The Priest-Texeira series was under the Marvel Knights imprint in its first year. Priest said the creation of character Ross contributed heavily to his decision to write the series. “I realized I could use Ross to bridge the gap between the African culture that the Black Panther mythos is steeped in and the predominantly white readership that Marvel sells to,” adding that in his opinion, the Black Panther had been misused in the years after his creation.
Following Secret Wars, a new Illuminati series was launched by writer Josh Williamson. The book features the Hood leading a new, villainous incarnation of the group. The new Illuminati includes Titania, Enchantress, Mad Thinker, Thunderball, and Black Ant.

The series also features flashbacks, scattered across every issue, that detail the beginning of Anakin’s trust towards Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.
