Hated and feared for powers given to them by an X-gene in their chromosomes, the X-Men were assembled by Charles Xavier, with the dream that one day Mutants and Humans could live together in peace. X-Men members come from all over the world in all shapes and sizes with the likes of Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Psylocke and others joining in addition to the original five (Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, and Marvel Girl). Over the years, the team has faced all kinds of threats from misguided mutants such as Magneto, Mystique and the Brotherhood of Mutants to gods such as Apocalypse to anti-mutant bigots such Graydon Creed and William Stryker and even cosmic beings such as the Dark Phoenix and Mojo as well as facing extinction numerous times but nevertheless the X-Men stand out and have through thick and thin. The X-Men were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in X-Men #1 (1963).
