Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It is how we have evolved from a single-cell organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few millennia evolution leaps forward.
Mutants are the next step in evolution. Some children are born with an "X-gene" a unique mutagenic DNA sequence. This usually manifests itself at puberty and most of the time it grants individuals special powers. These mutants are almost universally feared and loathed by the rest of humanity.
A woman name Elizabeth Knightly was born a mutant with Techopathic powers, the ability to communicate with any form of electronics, become part of it, sort of mental ESP. She lived during the time when mutants were feared, watched as people were imprisoned for being different. She did not want that life for herself or others.
Could one woman make a difference?
Elizabeth grew up using her powers to aid her finances until she created a school. From the outside it was just like everything else, a private school for those deemed special. But little did the public know how special these kids were. That was 6 months ago when she opened the doors and found her pupils, gathering kids with mutations and bringing them here to help them learn about who and what they were.
Can one woman make a difference?
She knew she couldn’t do it all alone so no sooner had the school opened, she had taken in her top pupils, and some of the oldest and they became her team. Creating a team of her staff and students and naming them the X-men after the gene that gave them these abilities. These X-Men will help mutants and with hope humans too, continuing her ideal on how everyone should be equal and given the same rights.
With the growing anti mutant legislation other felt this was not a world of equality and that humans would never accept them. These people formed organisations, the Gene Nation which took residence in a secret location and another a more gang like group who took over the old Hellfire Club which was once a museum.
Will you step up in a society that hates you and protect it?
Will you risk your life for another?
Or will you join the Gene Nation or the Hellfire gang and destroy those who appose you?
