X-Men # 1 - X-Men

Professor X continues to train his young students that he has called them the X-men. They are mutants born with abilities that set them apart from normal humans. The X-men are Cyclops (Scott Summers), Beast (Hank McCoy), Iceman (Bobby Drake), and Angel (Warren Worthington III). The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning gains a new student Jean Grey who will be called Marvel Girl.

Professor X built this school to train mutants to use their powers responsibility. He recognized that more and more mutants were appearing every day and that some mutants believe unlike the x men that humanity would never accept them. And they are so named the brotherhood mutants.

The first evil mutant to threaten humanity was named Magneto. He made is presence known to the world by sabotaging several top secret US missile tests before demanding the surrender of a military base to him. He was able to take the military base and hold the army out with a magnetic force field. He hadn't succumbed to the arrival of the X-men though.

Cyclops was able to breach Magneto's force field. They were able to hold Magneto off until he fled the scene. The X-men were victorious in their first adventure.
