Professor Charles Xavier
created his school as a place where young
mutants could learn to control their powers and use them for good. The
teachers are mutants themselves (many are alumni) and provide the
students with an environment where they are accepted for who they are
and do not have to worry about persecution from others.
The school also serves as a base
of operations for Xavier’s X-Men, a
team of mutants who help protect humanity from corrupt mutants that use
their powers for their own gain. After graduation, students have the
option of staying with the team and become instructors at the school.
The general public believes that Xavier’s is simply an
exclusive school
for gifted children. If the truth were to come out, many would want the
school shutdown.
