Not a real chapter, sorry folks, go on ahead if you already know the X-men back-story.
In this extended authors note, (which may or may not follow certain grammatical rules because it is not yet 7:00 AM) I am going to enlighten you a little about the x-men.
First, don't be ashamed even if you're an x-men fan, and you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm using back-story from before I was born here people! (I could look up the date up the date, I have the book right here, and I'm just too lazy)
Second, All the characters in here, (except Seleena.) are real and belong to marvel. I have kept true to back-story and character traits. (I hope with the character traits.)
Third, a little information.
As previously mentioned Storm (Real name Orroro Monroe, Tribal for Beauty) was attacked by none other than Dracula himself. What I haven't said is that she was damn near turned before Kitty's love brought her back form the edge. Also, she has vowed never to take a human life again, even in self-defense. (I'll explain how a person can be almost turned later in the story.)
Piotr is a true character, is fighting name is Colossus but he is really quite sensitive despite being the strongest of the group. He is also a painter. He left Russia to join Xavier in his fight for a better world and left ALL of his family behind. Illyana is his sister. She was kidnapped by Arcade (a bad guy) and because this tales place during the peak of the cold war there is no way to get her home. She has a back story all her own that is amazing—yet not relevant to this story if you are interested look it up on line.
ANYONE NOTICE A FEW CHARACTERS MISSING?
Ice man—was one of the original x-men and left to go to college
Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix—hate to tell you folks, she's dead, gone buried finito. For now.
Rogue—oy, this girl causes so much grief, suffice to say that as of now she is still evil, that's right still let's not forget that mystique is her mother.
Did I leave anything out? Let me know.
