X-Men (SD)

Product Description

They are the children of the atom, homo superior, the next link in the chain of evolution. Each was born with a genetic mutation, which at puberty manifests itself in extraordinary powers: telekinesis, telepathy, weather manipulation, eyes that release powerful energy. In a world increasingly filled with hatred & prejudice, they are outcasts who are feared & loathed by those who can't accept their differences. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, the world's most powerful telepath, these "gifted" students have learned to control & direct their respective powers for the greater good, to fight to protect a world that hates & fears them. But the X-Men find themselves locked in a physical & philosophical battle with Erik Lehnsherr, a.k.a. Magneto. He has turned his back on society, believing that mutants are the rightful heirs to the future. He & his cohorts will stop at nothing to ensure that future, even if it threatens the existence of mankind... or mutantkind.
