==Biography==
The X-Men are mutants, a subspecies of humans who are born with superhuman abilities. The X-Men fight for peace and equality between normal humans and mutants in a world where antimutant bigotry is fierce and widespread. They are led by Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, a powerful mutant telepath who can control and read minds.
Their archenemy is Magneto, a powerful mutant with the ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Professor X and Magneto have opposing views and philosophies regarding the relationship between mutants and humans.
While Professor X works towards peace and understanding between mutants and humans, Magneto views humans as a threat and believes in taking an aggressive approach against them, though he has found himself working alongside the X-Men from time to time.
In Old Man Logan, The X-Men were slaughtered when Wolverine was tricked by Mysterio into thinking they were a gang of supervillains trying to kill his team and their students.
Many years later, when Logan encountered Emma Frost in the Domain of Apocalypse upon Battleworld, she struggled to find a time in his past during which he was happy, but settled upon an image of his former team in hopes of calming him enough so that they could talk.
