Acolytes

Based out of Genosha, the Acolytes are a group of mutants (many say mutant supremacists) whose goals are to protect homo superior from the threats of homo sapien, under the leadership of Magneto. Having had many different bases of operations through the years, they have only recently settled in Genosha.
They are known for striking fast and hard whenever they perceive injustice being done on large scales to mutant-kind. They are responsible for any number of government and private programs, world-wide, being shut down due to sudden... explosive and blunt force trauma being delivered to the area they are being run in.
