Fantasy, Action, SciFi, Adventure (USA — 2011)

While Charles Xavier grows up privileged in New York, Erik Lehnsherr grows up underprivileged in Poland. As children, the mind-reading Charles finds a friend in the shape-shifting Raven and Erik finds an enemy in Sebastian Shaw, an energy-absorbing Nazi scientist who treats the metal-bending lad like a lab rat. By 1962, Charles has become a swaggering genetics professor and Erik has become a brooding agent of revenge. CIA agent Moira brings the two together to work for Division X. With the help of MIB and Hank, they seek out other mutants, while fending off Shaw and Emma Frost, who try to recruit them for more nefarious ends, leading to a showdown in Cuba between the United States and the Soviet Union, the good and bad mutants, and Charles and Erik, whose goals have begun to diverge.
