To bring you up to speed.
A/N: I'd just like to say that the characters that make up the X-Men do not belong to me. They are property of Marvel Comics and I have no intention on infringing on any of their rights or anything like that. The X- Tremes are my own, (and many friends) and they just happen to live with the X-Men.
This is the first chapter to the first story I'm going to write involving The X-Tremes. It basically just background info on The X-Men for any of those who don't know anything about them, or just watched the movie. I'm also not using every single X-Man ever created. They are just there in the background and don't play an overly prominent role, so don't get mad at me for not writing enough of your favorite character, ok? Ok. ^_^
New Beginning Chapter 1: The X-Men
Nestled in the quiet woods of Westchester, New York lays a fantastic sight. It's not easy to tell at first but the mansion that stands outside of Salem Center has more to it than meets the eye.
The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning is home to the outcasts of society. It is home to mutants. This particular group of mutants however, is a rarity even in their own species. This group of individuals is called the X-Men. They have pledged their lives to seek peace among mutants and the rest of humanity.
Their field leader is Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops. His powerful optic blasts can punch holes through mountains. Next is Ororo Munroe or Storm who rides with the wind and controls the weather like a goddess. Jean Grey, or Phoenix is Scott's wife and is a very powerful telekinetic and telepath. Hank McCoy is the Beast and looks the part with his blue fur and super strength and agility. He is the team's resident scientist and doctor. Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine is a fierce loner with claws that come out of his hand made of unbreakable adamantium. He also has hyper keen senses and a healing factor, which allows him to recover from various health hazards that come with the job description. There's the southern belle, Rogue, with the power of flight, super strength, and the ability to absorb the talents, memories and abilities from others. Finally, there's Gambit a former thief who can kinetically charge objects, playing cards are his favorite weapon, to explode.
There are numerous more X-Men who come and go, but no matter who is at hand they are always ready to save the world. To do this, they are lead by Professor Charles Xavier, the most powerful telepath in the world. He has brought mutants together from all over the world to fight for his dream. With his team, he hopes to create a world where mutants and normal humans can co-exist peacefully.
In every battle there is unfortunately a villain. The X-Men must fight against those who would rather destroy all mutants, or all humans. As time goes on, it's easy to see that the villains won't give up easily. The X-Men have been fighting for a long time and as they get older, it's obvious to them and to Xavier that there will come a time when they will no longer be able to save the world. Xavier has attempted to form a replacement team in the past and failed. He formed the New Mutants after the X-Men were presumed dead. Many of those children died or went on to other teams. He later formed Generation X and a school of their own in Massachusetts under the guise that the institute there was a normal school. Word leaked out and the school was shut down. The individuals went their separate ways. Xavier now thinks that it is time to try again. Third time's the charm so to speak. The mutants he gathers now will be taught at the New York Institute and will be taught by the X-Men themselves. The young mutants he has gathered have called themselves the X-Tremes.
