At the turn of the century, physicians have begun to note features in children previously undocumented: blue hair and skin, enlarged features, high intelligence, superhuman powers. When last checked, there were at least 198 so-called "mutants" living in the unofficial bureau of Mutanttown in New York. Enter the Xavier Institute: a network of schools and businesses owned by the wealthy Professor Charles Xavier, dedicated to higher learning and helping the marginalized, most notably the Xavier School for Gifted Youth. But what many do not know is that Charles himself is a mutant himself, possessing telepathic abilities beyond what many of us. But when a rival ousts Charles and most of his faculty as mutants, the time has come to evolve. Watch as the uncanny becomes astonishing and new. Watch the X-Men.
