First, they were fighting for acceptance. Now, they're battling for survival.
They are the next link in the evolutionary chain. Each was born with a unique genetic mutation which manifested itself in extraordinary powers. In a world increasingly filled with hatred and prejudice, they are outcasts who are feared and loathed by those who cannot accept their differences. Yet despite society's pervasive ignorance, the X-Men and thousands of mutants across the globe survive.
Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, the world's most powerful telepath, these 'gifted' students have learned to control and direct their respective powers for the greater good of mankind. They fight to protect a world that fears them.
Their cause becomes even more desperate following an incredible attack on the President of the United States in the White House, by a rogue mutant with extraordinary abilities.
The shocking attack renews the political and public outcry for a Mutant Registration Act and support grows for an anti-mutant movement now led by William Stryker, a wealthy former Army Commander who is rumoured to have experimented on mutants. Stryker's "mutant" work is somehow tied to Logan's mysterious and forgotten past.
As Wolverine searches for clues to his origin, Stryker puts into motion his anti-mutant program - launching an attack on Xavier's Mansion. Magneto, newly escaped from his plastic prison, proposes a partnership with the X-Men to combat their common and formidable enemy.
With the fates of Xavier, mankind and mutant-kind in their hands, the X-Men face their most dangerous mission ever.
