| abstract | - The X-Men are a group of mutants formed under the leadership of Charles Xavier, who believed mutants could be productive towards society. They were hidden from the world for their protection, but knew that mutants would be learned of someday. Sometime after the group started, they formed the offshoot team of the New Mutants. But the focus always remained on the X-Men. Above all, they knew not to be harsh on those who repented their anti-mutant views, knowing that there was a time when they did not know what they knew then. Members left and others joined as mutants as a whole had a grasp on the idea that the time was always right to do something right. As a team, they grasped the concept of discrimination and chose to avoid being effected by any intimidation, and the team prospered for their efforts. The group continued to fight for good, and stove to do it better than anyone ever could. They came across Apocalypse and his horsemen, but still managed to defeat him. The team continued to go strong even as its teenage members grew into adults.
