The
X-Men- --1st appearance: X-Men #1 (September,
1963) The X-Men are a
team of super-powered mutants who fight on behalf
of the idea that mutants (homo superior) and the
majority non-mutant humans (homo sapiens) can live
in peace and equality. Opposing this ideal are
various mutant and mutant organizations, such as
Magneto and his Brotherhood of (Evil) Mutants. The
X-Men team lineup changes often, but usually
consists of certain key core members, such as
Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman, Jean Grey (Marvel
Girl/Phoenix), Storm, Wolverine, Colossus,
Nightcrawler, and, of course, the founder of the
X-Men, Professor Charles Xavier. Professor Charles
Xavier (Professor X), is a mutant with powerful
mental and telepathic abilities. He saw a need to
bring together several young mutants and form them
into a team of super-heroes dedicated to protecting
society from other mutants who sought dominion over
normal humanity. Seeking to help
humanity with their natural super-powered
abilities, they took the name X-Men (for the
X-Factor in their genes that gives them mutant
abilities), and embarked on a path to fight on
behalf of a humanity that all too oftem wished them
harm and gave them discrimination and
hatred. The latest X-Men
Movie, X-Men: First Class, will be releases on June
3, 2011. Below is the official trailer for X-Men:
