The Original X-Men

The X-Men are a band of clandestine super-powered mutant teenagers in the Marvel Universe.  Led by Professor Charles Xavier, the team consists of his five students: Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl.

History[]

Banned together by Professor Xavier, the X-Men are taught the use of their powers to better serve and protect both human and mutant alike.  

The X-Men recieved public attention after stopping Magneto from taking over Cape Citadel in Florida.  The public initially embraced them and treated them as heroes, though after their next encounter with an evil mutant, the Vanisher, the X-Men failed to stop him from stealing important government documents.  After news spread of their defeat, the public's high opinion of the team began to wane.
