[[redirect:ComicBook/XMen]]''X-Treme X-Men'' is a 2012 comic book series from Creator/MarvelComics, part of the wider ComicBook/XMen franchise. It's written by Creator/GregPak with art by Stephen Segovia and Dennis Cristostomo, with color art by Jessica Kholinne.

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the series initially features a team of AlternateUniverse characters introduced in Pak's ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen'' arc ''Exalted''. Joined by Dazzler from the usual Marvel universe ('Earth-616') and guided by the severed head of an alternate Charles Xavier, they're tasked with hunting down ten extremely dangerous versions of Xavier, each one from a different alternate universe, before the Xaviers can cause massive damage to reality.

This also means that each arc is set in a different parallel world, with many alternate versions of well-known Marvel characters appearing. The team's line-up also changes significantly, with characters joining, dying or leaving in many arcs.

The quest, and the series, eventually ends in a CrossoverFinale as part of the ComicBook/XTermination event, a BatFamilyCrossover between ''X-Treme X-Men'', ''Astonishing X-Men'' and ''Age of Apocalypse''.

The first issue was released 25 July, 2012. The final issue, #13, was released April 10, 2013.
