Call them freaks. Nature's mistake. Mutants. They are born different, with characteristics and abilities that make them outcasts. Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Colossus, Nightcrawler and more - gathered together by telepath Professor Charles Xavier, the X-Men are sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them. Ever expanding their ranks, the Children of the Atom combat evils threatening both mutants and humans - including the Morlocks, the Hellfire Club, and the alien Brood.
