Characters
Ruth Bat-Seraph is an Israeli national who, along with her family, was taken to a special community by the Israeli government when her genetic mutation manifested.
Herman Schultz is a career criminal who, after several prison terms for robbery, built a battle suit that sent out shock waves to quickly open safes as well as give him a significant advantage over the New York police.
Ororo Monroe is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic.
An exceptionally strong and vigorous athlete in his youth, John Proudstar’s mutant abilities first manifested when he wrestled a charging bison to save a young girl.
British-born Mortimer Toynbee, abandoned by his parents so early in childhood that he cannot remember them, was placed in an orphanage where the other children, who regarded him as a freak due to his ugliness, his unusual physique and his leaping ability, continually tormented him.
Angelo Unuscione is a mutant whose powers did not surface until adolescence, when he first used them as a school bully and later as a small time criminal before immigrating to America and using his ability to create a virtually impenetrable force field around himself to launch a career as a flamboyant, invincible costumed wrestler known by the stage name of Unus the Untouchable.
Feared and hated by humans because they're different, the X-Men are heroic mutants, individuals born with special powers who've sworn to use their gifts to protect mutants as well as humans.
