The X-Men (Earth-620)

The X-Men where a group of superheroes and Mutant activists originally working out of Bayville New York to promote peaceful relations between Humans and Mutants. (Shadowchasers: Dragon Lords)

The First X-Men
The original X-Men started out small, the Xavier Institute was founded by Charles Xavier, a powerful Mutant telepath who had a dream of a world where Humans and Mutants could live in peace. His first recruits included Ororo "Storm" Monroe, Scott "Cyclops" Summers, Jean Grey, and Logan. He brought them to the Xavier Institute where they would learn how to control their powers and use them for good. During this time he also met Jalal Stormbringer, however their meeting was brief, but they both had to admit that the other's ideals intrigued them. The X-Men began to grow, new members where added, but as they grew, so did their enemies, it began shortly after they recruited Kurt Wagner that the Institute was infiltrated by Todd Tolansky on orders from Mystique. While they managed to recruit Rogue away from Mystique and the Brotherhood, the X-Men where faced with challenges at every turn. At one point, Magneto sent the Brotherhood to test the X-Men to see if they where worthy of joining him on Asteroid M, a massive structure he had constructed in space so that Mutants could live apart from normal Humans. Magneto's plans where disrupted however and Asteroid M was destroyed, presumably with both Magneto and Mystique still aboard.

After the incident on Asteroid M, the Institute started bringing in new students in order to teach them how to use their powers, creating a new team called the New Mutants. However things would not go smoothely now, the Brotherhood attempted to reveal the existance of Mutants to the world, only to have it stopped just in time by Xavier and the TV cameras disrupted by an electromagnetic pulse. However, it wasn't until later that the X-Men discovered that Magneto surivived during a mission. Then Logan was captured while tracking down Sabretooth and when they reached the area near there, Magneto's new team the Acolytes attacked. While the X-Men and Brotherhood fought the Acolytes, they fell into an underground chamber made by Bolivar Trask where they encountered his robot the Sentinel. While the Sentinel was stopped, several of the X-Men where captured by the government and taken to Area 51, they where later rescued by the X-Men with Mystique's help.
