Four new mutants are working for Magneto: Toad, Mastermind, the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver. The Scarlet Witch (Wanda) is only helping Magneto because he saved her from humans who wanted to kill her. Quicksilver (Pietro) is her brother, and he's only helping Magneto out because his sister is. (They are actually Magento's children.) Magneto steals a battleship, and they take over the "tiny republic of Santa Marco". Xavier and the X-Men drive down there, storm the capitol building and Xavier gets injured by a bomb left by Magneto. The "evil mutants" flee, but not before Quicksilver defuses the other nuclear bomb that Magneto left behind. Xavier's mental powers have been deadened by the explosion that hit him.

The X-Men use the Toad to travel up to Magneto's latest hideout - Asteroid M. A big battle naturally ensues, the asteroid seems to break apart, and everyone escapes. Upon returning to the mansion, the X-Men learn that Xavier was only faking the loss of his powers to test his students. They passed this "final exam" of their schooling.

The Beast saves a child from the roof of a building, but the scared humans still attack him. He gets fed up trying to protect the people who fear or hate him, so he leaves the X-Men. While working as a wrestler, he comes across Unus, a mutant with powers that allow him to never even be touched. After Unus defeats the remaining X-Men, the Beast decides to help out again, building a device that enhances Unus' power. The X-Men think the Beast is trying to betray them, until they realize that now Unus can no longer touch anything himself (even food). The Beast returns Unus to his original mutant power on the condition that he doesn't get "out of line" or ever try to contact Magneto (or they'll boost him permanently). After proving himself this way to the X-Men, the Beast rejoins them. Scott and Jean harbor secret feelings of love for each other, but won't tell each other.

The Evil Mutants and the X-Men are all in pursuit of a Stranger in town who can walk on air and walk through walls. Mastermind tried some of his tricks on the Stranger in the meantime, but was turned into a stone (metal?) statue. Magneto "wins", and he and the Toad are taken away by the Stranger, who admits he is "from the stars" and is collecting specimens of mutants from different planets. The trio take off from the Earth into space (and don't return until Uncanny X-Men #17). Meanwhile, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch decide they're through with Magneto, but don't want to join the X-Men either. Mastermind remains in this state in the care of the X-Men.

As the mansion is being assualted by an unknown mutant, Xavier tells the X-Men some of his history. When Xavier was very young, his father was killed in an atomic blast in New Mexico. His father's colleague, Dr. Marko, somehow escaped, and after the funeral convinced the greiving widow Xavier to marry him. Marko soon brought his delinquent son, Cain, to live with them, and Charles used his budding mental powers to learn that both of them were basically evil. Years later, Charles and Cain were fighting together in the Korean War, and Cain discovered the Sacred Lost Temple of Cyttorak. He picks up a ruby, and receives the power of the Juggernaut! The cave they're in begins to collapse, and only Charles makes it out. It took the Juggernaut all these years to dig himself out of the cave-in. Now, he's back and he wants the Professor's life!
The Juggernaut thrashes the X-Men, only to be stopped by Xavier's mental powers. However, first the X-Men and Fantastic Four's Human Torch had to remove his helmet, which was shiielding him from all mental attacks.

Sentinels

Uncanny X-Men 14-16
Dr. Bolivar Trask begins to stir up anti-mutant hysteria, and has a publicized debate with Xavier (who takes the side of the mutants, but doesn't admit that he is one). During the debate, Trask releases his Sentinels, which are supposed to defend the world against mutants. The Sentinels are self-aware, though, and decide that they should be guardians off all humans, and proceed wreak havoc. They fly away with Trask as their captive, except for one Sentinel who stays to fight the X-Men. The X-Men are loosing the battle when the Sentinel suddenly crashes to the ground. The X-Men don't know what stopped that Sentinel, but all take off after the other Sentinels.
The X-Men attack the Sentinel fortress, only to all be captured (except Xavier, who was only in the battle mentally). The Sentinels are run by the Master Mold, and during its mental probe of the Beast, Trask hears that the true purpose of the X-Men is to protect humanity from evil mutants.
While the X-Men are all prisoners, Xavier goes back to determine what suddenly stopped that Sentinel back in issue #14. He determines that a nearby decorative crystal blocked the Sentinel's transmission beam, rendering it helpless. Xavier (and the Army) bring the crystal to the fortress, knocking out all the Sentinels inside. Meanwhile, Dr. Trask is being forced by Master Mold to create more Sentinels, but he rebels, destroying the equipment, himself, and Master Mold.

Uncanny X-Men 17-18
All the X-Men go to the hospital after their battle with the Sentinels. One by one, they return to the mansion, only to be captured by someone waiting for them. Iceman is still in the hospital, so he is the only one not captured by the evil power, who we learn is Magneto. Magneto has just returned from space (Uncanny X-Men #11).
Iceman is contacted by Xavier to come save all the X-Men. He arrives at the mansion, and lays a trap for Magneto. The other X-Men escape, and Magneto is ready to blast them all until Xavier spring his surprise - he has summoned the Stranger (from whom Magneto escaped). Mageto takes off in his magno-car, with the Stranger in hot pursuit.

Uncanny X-Men 19
Xavier grants the team a short vacation, during which they run into the Mimic. We is able to mimic any power of anyone near him, but only while he's in their vicinity. He tracks Jean Grey back to the mansion, where he confronts the X-Men with all of their powers! Acting as a team, they're able to defeat him temporarily, but then he grabs Jean and runs off to his hideout (in a mine). The X-Men follow, and the Mimic uses their powers to reach a device of his father's buried in the mine that is supposed to make the powers he absorbs permanent. Instead, the device removes all of his powers. Xavier erases his memory.

Uncanny X-Men 20-21
Lucifer (Uncanny X-Men #9) has recruited the Blob and Unus to work to help him get his revenge on Xavier. The X-Men make quick work of the Blob and Unus, who end up on top of a subway train, heading out of town. When Xavier realizes who's behind those two, he tells Jean Grey the story of how he first met Lucifer in Tibet. Lucifer (who is from another planet) had taken control (mentally) of an entire city, and Charles helped some rebels overthrow him. But, as Lucifer fled, he triggered a trap which fell on Charles and paralyzed him. The other X-Men return to the mansion, and then quickly take off to Lucifer's new hideout in the southwestern U.S.
While the X-Men sneak into Lucifer's hideout, some of Lucifer's robots capture Xavier. Lucifer describes his alien race's plan to conquer the Earth with a machine called Dominus that they've used on countless other planets. When the X-Men destroy the robots which are used to operate Dominus, Lucifer's plans are ruined and he is called back to his home planet.

Uncanny X-Men 22-23
Count Nefaria's men launch a plan to hold Washington, D.C, for ransom. He captures all the X-Men (by using image-doubles of themselves to lure them out), and claims he will get the X-Men to help him with his plan.
Nefaria somehow encases the Capitol in a bubble, and will remove all the oxygen if the X-Men don't help him. Of course, the X-Men agree to help "to save a city", but plan on double-crossing him when the get the chance. However, Xavier walks into Nefaria's control room (with the help of new battery-powered, lightweight, flexible braces) and destroys the bubble controls, freeing the city.

Uncanny X-Men 24
Jean Grey's parents make Jean enroll in a real college, so she's "leaving" the X-Men. At Metro College, NYC, she sees ex-professor Dr. August Hooper, the Locust. He's growing enormous insects and releasing them on farms, planning to make a fortune on selling a pesticide made especially for them. The X-Men get involved, and Jean Grey helps out, too. During one battle, the X-Men interfere with the Locust's control of his insects and they turn on him. The X-Men save his life, and he repents his evil ways.
