Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr meet as young men, united by their desire to protect mutants and offer them a better future. Together, they found a school to shelter and train mutants while humanity is not yet ready to accept them. However, after the death of a mutant and marked by past traumas, Erik loses faith in peaceful coexistence. Convinced that mutants are the next stage of evolution, he assumes the name Magneto and begins to advocate domination as the only way to survive, breaking with Xavier. Decades later, Xavier runs the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, keeping alive his dream of coexistence between humans and mutants, despite the constant growth of the mutant population and the risk of exposure. In this context, Magneto returns even more radical, proposing a war against humanity. Faced with Xavier's refusal to join him, Magneto destroys the school, declaring enemies all those who do not share his vision. To confront him, Xavier gathers former students and forms the X-Men, led by Scott Summers, as an opposition to Magneto's extremism. The conflict reaches its climax when Magneto attacks world leaders in New York, revealing mutants to the world and threatening humanity, forcing the newly formed X-Men to act. The story culminates in the big question: who is right, Xavier or Magneto, and which vision will prevail in this war for the future of mutants and the world?
