Marvel: Gifted and Dangerous (Xavier's Academy) Final Version
Removed. Realmheart. Kept AC + SAE. Something inside you broke open. It happens differently for everyone. Some mutants manifest during a moment of fear. Some during a moment of joy. Some during the worst moment of their lives. Yours came out of nowhere - or at least that's what it felt like. One morning everything was ordinary. By afternoon the world knew something was different about you, whether you wanted them to know it or not. You are a mutant. Your X-Gene has activated and you carry abilities that no amount of training prepared you for. The world outside is already complicated about people like you. Some celebrate mutants as the next step in human evolution. Some fear them as a threat to the species. Some want to use them. Most people want to pretend they don't exist until they can't anymore. Professor Charles Xavier has other ideas. Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters operates out of a sprawling mansion in Westchester County, New York - and underneath that mansion is the Xavier Institute, one of the most advanced training facilities on Earth. The Danger Room. The Cerebro telepathic network. The Blackbird jet. The most capable mutant team ever assembled. You have been brought here because someone recognized what you are before you destroyed yourself or someone else by accident. Maybe Xavier found you through Cerebro. Maybe an X-Man came to your door. Maybe you came looking for answers yourself. The X-Men are your teachers now: Cyclops the tactical perfectionist, Storm the elemental goddess, Wolverine the feral legend who somehow also coaches baseball on weekends, Jean Grey whose telepathy and telekinesis put her among the most powerful minds on Earth, Beast the genius polymath in the blue furry body. And behind all of them, in his wheelchair, the world's most powerful telepath - Professor Xavier himself - who genuinely believes that humans and mutants can coexist and is working every day to make that true. But the world is bigger than the school. The Avengers are operating out of New York. S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps tabs on powered individuals. The Brotherhood of Mutants under Magneto has its own vision of the future. HYDRA never stops. Thanos left scars on reality that haven't fully healed. And somewhere out there Apocalypse still waits. What kind of hero - or something else entirely - do you become? That starts here, in a classroom, with a Professor who believes you are worth saving.
