Mutants are often hated and feared by other humans because they are different from themselves. Spending many of his adult years studying mutation, mutant telepath Professor Charles Xavier formed the legendary X-Men to protect a world that hates and fears them.Group Formation
Following an encounter with the Shadow King, Xavier vowed to protect the world from the threat of evil mutants and endeavored to foster peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. Working with Moira MacTaggart, he eventually decided to start a school for mutants, training them to be what would eventually become his first "X-Men".
Turning his father's estate into Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Charles's earliest student was young Jean Grey, only twelve years old when her mental powers manifested. He constructed the Danger Room to test mutants, and developed Cerebro.
After years of preparation, Charles decided that it was time to recruit the young mutants whom he had been keeping track of as anti-mutant hysteria hit its peak. With reports about a young mutant accidentally endangering and then saving a crowd of people with an optic blast, Charles traveled to Washington D.C., seeking out FBI agent Fred Duncan, assigned to investigate reports of mutants. Xavier convinced Duncan to allow him to enroll young mutants in his private school and train them to battle evil mutants.
In the following days, Charles recruited Scott Summers, the young mutant in the news story. Rescuing the boy from the clutches of evil mutant Jack O'Diamonds (Jack Winters), Scott became the first of the X-Men, as "Cyclops". Next, Cyclops and the Professor rescued young Bobby Drake, a mutant commanding extreme cold and moisture, from an angry lynch mob. He joined the group as "Iceman".
Charles traveled to Africa to have Ororo Munroe join the team. Her village believed her as a weather god. Ororo accepted, taking the name "Storm". Their next recruit was the dexterous and intelligent Henry McCoy. Rounding out the group, Charles had Jean Grey join them.
Charles then contacted the steel-skinned Piotr Rasputin from Russia farmlands. "Colossus" agreed as he was coincedentally born and raised to do this. He then contacted the ignored Kaiser Krieger from Germany to join the team. This mutant was a photokinetic. Kaiser accepted: shunning the name "the Laser", but praising "Lightman". Charles proceeded to contact the aerokinetic Calista Bai from China, she joined the team under "Sky High".
Charles ventured to Italy and was intrigued by a family filled with gravitikinetics. He convinced Quintus Evandrus to come with him, with Quintus taking the codename "Varion Due". Finally Charles traveled throughout the Canadian wilderness, coming across mercenaries Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool immediately accepted Charles' offer, though Wolverine rejected: an attack from Sabretooth convinced him otherwise. After the battle, Wolverine decided to join the X-Men.
