Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr know each other from protests to abolish the Jim Crow laws like the march on Washington. Charles and Erik are both African Americans with Charles being from New York and Erik from Georgia. Erik suffered greatly from the harsh racism of the american south and Charles did not, but Charles always wants to help a cause he believes in. After Brown v Board of Education America moved on to another thing to blame their problems on... THE MUTANTS. Erik saw this as a sign that humanity would never get better and will always find another thing to hate and that a more evolved species of humans wouldn't have such prejudices, knowing he and Charles were both mutants he went to Charles and asked him to join him when Charles declines Erik uses his mutant ability to control metal and Charles uses his powerful telepathy and they fight but it is no use because in the end Erik paralyzes Charles and leaves him. Charles later founded a school for mutants where he and some fellow mutants like Dr. Hank McCoy educate the young mutants so they can learn to control their powers and so that they are not discriminated against by their non-mutant peers. Erik has been planning an attack on the governments of the world so that mutants can take their place as "Homo Superior" The X-Men fight and win and boom we have an X-men movie.
