The X-Men
Four years ago...
They are the children of the atom, homo superior individuals born with strange and fantastic abilities. Because of this difference humanity has begun to fear and hate this new breed that walks among them. With more mutants being born every day the prejudice and bigotry that surrounds their very existence spreads.
In the midst of this increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Charles Xavier has created a safe haven at his Westchester mansion where he could train young mutants to use their powers for the betterment of mankind. Believing that humans and mutants can live and coexist together in peace Xavier’s goal is to show the world that mutants are not a threat to them. Knowing however that not all mutants would share in his beliefs and some would use their powers to hurt others Xavier would train his students to act as a team to defend humanity against those who would use their powers for evil. Thus he founded the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.
For his first students Xavier recruited Scott Summers codenamed Cyclops, Bobby Drake codenamed Iceman, Henry McCoy codenamed Beast, Warren Worthington III codenamed Angel, and Jean Grey codenamed Marvel Girl. Together these five would form Xavier’s first team of X-Men.
The X-Men would make their public debut by thwarting the mutant Magneto's seizure of the Cape Citadel missile base. Magneto would battle the X-Men repeatedly afterwards, sometimes leading his own team the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The X-Men would go on to face other threats and evils both human and mutant alike.
Present…
Having completed their training at the Xavier Institute, Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl were officially graduated as X-Men. The mansion itself has been fitted with a new subbasement housing a holographic training facility the Danger Room, a hanger holding a state of the art stealth jet, and Cerebro Xavier’s mutant locating computer system.
More and more mutants are discovering their powers and the X-Men are finding and recruiting them as the next wave of students for the Xavier Institute looking for those who will join them in the dream to bring peace between human and mutant kind.
