| Telepath. Teacher. Visionary. The planet's most powerful mutant is also its most compassionate leader. In pursuit of his dream for peaceful coexistence between Homo sapiens and Homo superior, Professor Charles Xavier established his School for Gifted Youngsters to help a select class of troubled teenagers hone their strange abilities -- and protect society from those who would use such gifts to rule mankind. Today, as ever, he and his X-Men stand in defense of a world on the brink of genetic war! |
