X-Men: Mutant Academy (X-Men: Mutant Academy Storyline)

The Birth of the X-Men
Mutations have occurred since life began. It was inevitable that eventually mutations would result in beings with extraordinary abilities. These are the mutants, men and women whose actual genetic structure endows them with super-human powers. A mutant named Charles Xavier has formed a team of these mutants called the X-Men.

Professor Charles Xavier has made it his life's work to train the X-Men to use their powers for good. But still, some of those born with an ordinary genome hate and fear the X-Men. These unusual warriors learn to protect those that reject them.

In the X-Men: Mutant Academy, each and every mutant must prove his or her worth in battles against the others. They must learn to harness their rage and utilize their individual special powers.
