With a newfound home in Westchester, New York, Charles Xavier, over the years, has built a new foundation and home for mutants alike. Xavier spends his spare time trying to find where Erik has gone, while Scott and Jean both lead the X-Men in their battles to protect humanity, who still shuns mutants. Erik returns from the shadows and has formed the Brotherhood of Mutants, a group of mutants looking to tear humanity apart, as Erik believes that human beings do not deserve to live, as mutants have been shunned for too long. Charles and his X-Men fight the Brotherhood, as Charles believes that love and unity need to co-exist and even if the humans are not in favor of mutants, that does not mean humanity does not need protection...
