X-Men

"X-Men: Evolution is the story of adolescents struggling to 'fit into' a world which cannot possibly understand them. Possessing extraordinary powers as a result of genetic mutations, our heroes must face the difficulties of living as mutants amongst 'normal' beings while experiencing the added perils of making it through the teenage years - a time when all kids feel like they are mutants. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, a mutant with the wisdom and powers to teach our young heroes to utilize their unusual skills for the benefit and protection of all the world's inhabitants, our characters come of age learning to battle evil humans and misguided mutants...and still maintain good grades at the local high school."

Origin
The original team of X-Men was formed by Professor Charles Francis Xavier to fulfill his dream of a peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. Using his vast telepathic powers and with help from his supercomputer Cerebro, he located five mutants to help him in his prospects by forming the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters.

The students are trained to use their gifts by Professor X who deems them the X-Men due to their extra abilities. The team becomes a tightly knit group, growing up from teenagers and learning to properly use their powers. Their first mission is against the evil mutant, Magneto, who is the self proclaimed "Master of Magnetism." He attacked Cape Citadel and the X-Men prevented any damage or casualties.

During the initial run of X-Men they face Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the teleporting Vanisher, the villainous Factor Three and the alien Lucifer. Early in the series, Professor X is presumed dead and it is learned that he had been replaced, at his request, by the Changeling, a villain who wished to reform his criminal ways. The X-Men are also joined by the mutant Mimic, who has the ability to utilize up to five mutant abilities at a time. Mimic sought out the X-Men in an attempt to make his powers permanent, but was defeated and became an ally for a short time. The team was then joined by two new recruits; Havok, the plasma generating brother of Cyclops; and Polaris, the green haired, magnetism manipulating future confirmed daughter of Magneto. Eventually Beast left the team to pursue scientific endeavors.
