The word mutation has existed for centuries, coming into the verbal world to identify things of difference. Things that stood out due to change. The frog born with an extra set of legs, the two headed turtle. Botanists have marveled as plants mutated, growing nearer toward perfection with every blossom of a new generation. Sadly, though, the same adoration did not occur for the human race.
People have been mutating as well, along with plants and animals. Small changes that made them different from the rest of the world. An extra finger here, purple eyes there, strangely colored hair. At first, it was nothing surprising. Then more shocking mutations occurred, ones that needed to be hidden. Soon people were forced themselves into hiding, the world and humanity doing as it always did, fearing the unknown and the different.
But this past year, something has changed. Instead of one mutated human in a hundred thousand, the ratio has increased exponentially, first to one in every ten thousand, now it is close to one out of every hundred human beings. The mutations are also no longer simple. Suddenly these ‘mutants’ have powers, powers that make them superior to their human counterparts. Powers that cause fear to spread like the plague.
One man has known about mutation for most of his life. As he grew and learned more, he found another man with similar knowledge. Together they created a dream of mutants living freely among the human world, no longer scared or ashamed to show off their genetic uniqueness. Equality was the only thing that they quibbled over, one thinking that mutants should not be scared or even equal, but the superior of their human counterparts, the other saying that equality was the only way to go. An argument of epic proportions took place, and one man left, the other remained.
His name was Charles Xavier, and he vowed to see his dream succeed. As the news reports spread and the violence grew, he knew that the time for action was then, and as such he put his plan into place. Using new technology that had been created by the help of his now enemy, Charles located a handful of young mutants and welcomed them into his home, promising to help them with their powers and to continue their education. Sharing with them his dream of the future.
The X-mansion is still largely empty, the paint on the newly built classrooms and dormitories fresh. The danger room has yet to be imagined and Cerebro is mostly an unseemly object in an unfinished basement, awaiting the time that it can be perfected. Come join us to discover this beginning. Come to the time when Mutants were just becoming common knowledge and hatred for those ‘Muties’ ran unchecked. It is a whole knew world out there, with many adventures to be had, in the end the possibilities are Endless.
