"Hellfire Gala" was initially a 12-part X-Men comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics in June 20211. It is the first storyline featured in the "Reign of X" relaunch after the "X of Swords" storyline. Krakoa opens its gates to non-mutants to celebrate mutant culture at an evening party. The gala unveiled the new team of X-Men and showcased the terraforming of Mars into Planet Arakko. It subsequently became an annual event in the Krakoan Age with the one-shots X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1 published in July 20221 and X-Men Hellfire Gala 2023 #1 published in July 2023. In the lead up to each Hellfire Gala, Marvel conducted a fan vote to decide on members of the new X-Men team.

The gala returned in X-Men: The Hellfire Murder, which released in July 20261.
