The X-Men fight for peace and equality between humans and mutants in a world where anti-mutant bigotry is fierce and widespread. They are led by Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, a powerful telepath. Their archenemy par excellence is Magneto, a powerful mutant with the ability to manipulate and control the Earth's magnetic fields. Xavier and Magneto have opposing views and philosophies regarding the relationship between mutants and humans. While the former works for peace and understanding between mutants and humans, the latter sees humans as a threat and believes in taking an aggressive approach against them.
