The X-Men are a team of superhuman mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X), himself a powerful telepath.  Xavier's goals were to find and train young mutants, allowing them to develop their powers free from persecution.  

When trained, these mutants would form an elite combat team, 'X-Men', who would defend humans against attack from other mutants.

Magneto has battled the X-Men repeatedly over the years, sometimes leading his Brotherhood of Mutants.  The team have also faced a multitude of other, formidable foes.
