Oh oh! I wish I had seen this thread sooner but I have the perfect answer for you: X-Men 2099

It embodies your question to a T, it's an X-Men adjacent/ripoff team of mutants that are in no way related or derived from your typical X-Men cast. They too face public scrutiny and they too form a ragtag group to rise above it all and prove themselves. And it's written by the same guy behind Doom 2099. It can be a rocky road but overall the whole run is a fun read and the best example to scratch your itch, especially since it's still a Marvel property in the first place. The 2099 lineup is pretty underrated outside of Miguel O'Hara fans (who only know him from other adaptations and not the original comics anyway) but they're solid stuff. Just remember, Metalhead is the best.
