Uncanny X-Men

The X-Men are a team created by Professor Charles Xavier as a response to the emergence of naturally occurring super-humans known as mutants among the baseline human society. Seeking to promote his dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, Xavier trained his X-Men in the use of their powers at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, training them to become defenders of a world that hates and fears them.
