TEN YEARS AGO THE WORLD WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE. Mutation was on the forefront of everyone's mind as more and more children manifested strange powers. Humanity had something to worry about, something to fear, and mutants around the world, people born different, found themselves becoming scapegoats. There were talks of registering powers, of finding a way to control the mutant population or to even cure it. Charles Xavier recognized the need for a safe haven where all mutants could live and learn without worrying about mobs and prejudice. He found a young telepath locked away in a mental institution. Then came the orphan who'd lost his family in a plane crash. Then a young man who's appearance was so steeped in religious imagery that he had no chance for a normal life. And an artist who's talent belied the physical mutation he been born with. Finally, the youngest - a boy who only wanted to do the right thing. |
