Superman: The Last Son of Krypton, Kal-El was rocketed from his home planet just as it exploded. His birthing matrix landing in Kansas, he was soon found and adopted by the Kents, and given the name Clark. Soon thereafter, the Kents died, and Clark was forced to live in an orphange until Professor Charles Xavier took him in, as one of the first students of the "Xavier Insititue for Higher Learning."

Jean Grey: She is a telepath of the highest order, second-only to Professor Xavier. One of the first X-Men, Jean has a casual relationship with Clark, and together, they fight to make the world a better place for mutants.

Beast: The brilliant geneticist Henry 'Hank' McCoy is also a mutant, with abnormally large hands and feet, which give him great agility. Beast uses his one-of-a-kind sense of humor to get him through any tough situation.

Iceman: Robert 'Bobby' Drake has the mutant power to turn his body as cold as ice, and generate intense cold as well as form objects out of ice.

Angel: Warren Worthington III has always lived a life of comfort. Shortly after his thirteenth birthday, large feathered wings grew out of his back. He joined Xavier's school in the early days mostly for the fun of it. To his surprise, he actually made friends there, and is always wanting to help them out. So, when they came to him after the destruction of the X-Mansion, he provided them with a new one.

Wolverine: A mysterious mutant from the north, Logan happened to find the X-Men while wandering through upstate New York. Very little is known about him other than his metal claws and healing factor.
