Since the end of the twentieth century, the X-Men, a group of mutants brought together by Charles Xavier, have fought and risked their lives to protect a people that feared and hated them.
Early in the twenty-first century, the X-Men began fearing and hating back.

Scott Summers was the orginal leader of the X-Men and in many ways the template for all of the leaders to follow. After Xavier retreated, Scott was named headmaster of the academy along with Emma Frost. As his wife Jean Grey became more withdrawn and unhigned, Scott and Emma Frost began a mental affair. Eventually, Scott filed for a legal seperation from his wife. Shortly after, Jean Grey disappeared, presumbly fled. Scott and Emma eventually married and are expecting their first child.
One of the X-Men's first rivals, Emma Frost eventually became a trusted ally and an important part of the team. However, Emma lost the trust of many of the X-Men after she 'seduced' Scott away from Jean. Never one to crumble under criticism, Emma remains with Scott as co-headmistress of Xavier Academy. |

Jean Grey perhaps suffered the most after Xavier's withdrawl, maybe even more than her daughter Rachel. After months spent estranged from her husband, the two eventually seperated. Mentally unstable, she threw herself at Logan and when rebuked, disappeared into the North American wilderness where she remains today.
Kitty Pryde was perhaps the most surprised out of any that Xavier chose her to lead his new X-Men. In recent months, the two had clashed over Xavier's new definition of te Dream. However, Kitty was indeed chosen and fulfilled her role of leader admirably for years before giving birth to her daughter Lilith and resigning as field leader. |
