Plot Summary:
A group of mutants born with special abilities form a police force under the call of Professor X to protect humanity and the Earth. Unexpectedly, humans start to become suspicious of mutants, leading to conflicts between them...
The core members of the X-Men team are Cyclops (the captain of the X-Men who can shoot lethal laser beams from his eyes), Jean Grey (who has telepathic, telekinetic, and teleportation abilities), Storm (the deputy captain of the X-Men who has the power to control the weather), and Rogue (who can absorb the memories and abilities of others through physical contact).
Now, a dangerous figure has joined the X-Men - Wolverine (who has an extraordinary healing ability and retractable adamantium claws on his forearms). He is a hotheaded mutant who is almost uncontrollable, posing internal threats to the X-Men. The X-Men let him train new recruits and hope to recruit him into their ranks. But is it possible? No one knows his origin, and soon they discover that most of his thoughts are controlled by outsiders. Worse still, another mutant called Magneto has emerged. He can control magnetism and Earth's gravity. He was once exhibited as a monster by humans and suffered great humiliation. He hates humans, believing that mutants are superior to humans and should dominate them. He and Wolverine will stop at nothing to achieve this goal. Can they be stopped in time? Will they lead to the common destruction of humanity and the X-Men?
The X-Men, who are determined to protect humanity, will find that while they strive to protect humans, humans also develop great fear towards them, causing tension in their relationship. Moreover, the X-Men have to deal with Wolverine's explosive temper and Magneto's indiscriminate killings, putting the X-Men in a precarious situation...
