This is a work in progress, but any suggestions, just post below. **** The Mutant Gene, named the 'Mutant X' gene after the man who discovered it, Professor Charles Xavier. While running tests a decade prior on a young boy named Eric Lehensherr, he discovered a peculiar gene. 10 years later, this gene had developed within Lehensherr, who was now capable of controlling all forms of magnetic metal. He soon discovered, that it wasn't just Eric, and that many people across the world had the gene. However, the world feared these new, seemingly superior people with the gene, and instantly turned against them, considering them freaks. The paranoia soon spread, so that anybody with superheroes seemed like a threat to mankind. Mutants and powered humans became wanted, and if they're discovered, they will be punished. Xavier now leads the Mutant Response Division (MRD), a Government group who round up Mutants and superheroes, dead or alive. If caught alive, they will be imprisoned in a Mutant Prison, where Xavier gets to examine and tinker with them, to discover more about them. To clarify: Xavier isn't a mutant, and he is more of a villain than a hero. He isn't going to form the X-Men (if they are even formed). The X-Men, if they are officially formed, would be more of a rugged, street-level group, out to survive. Xavier and the MRD can be NPCed by anybody who feels like it, and I'll be adding a Mutant Prison to the boards.

Something that always bugged me about X-men was the difference between mutants and other superhumans. I know mutants are born with their powers and some people are injected with super-serum or bitten by radioactive spiders etc. but it always seemed silly to me how being born with powers made you somehow more dangerous than the other supers running around.
It sounds like a solid idea but I don't understand why they should be after only mutants, why not have them try to tackle other super-powered vigilantes as well?

If no one has any objections I'd like to make my third and final character the worlds best X-man character: Mortimer Toynbee a.k.a Toad. =D

Go for it! That'd be awesome, and would totally suit the rag-tag group feel I'm going for.
