X-Men Purple Team

X-Men Purple Team is the code name given to a small group of students in Charles Xavier's school. Like other X-Men teams, the Purple Team are homo superior (AKA Mutants) and all possess their own superhuman abilities. However, all members of the Purple Team come from a "special class" and all have either some form of mental illness or disability.

Origin
The Purple Team was originally the most recent special class of Xavier's school. Their members were rather troubled due to their unfortunate conditions and had trouble fitting in with the rest of the mutants at the school. They were borderline bullied by some other students and the class itself struggled to find a consistent teacher, rotating through several X-Men members before eventually settling on the X-Man Wolverine as the group's permanent teacher.

Originally, Logan wasn't keen on teaching a non-combat class but was requested to do so by Jean Grey, a woman who Logan had chased romantically for years. At Jean's request and partially to upset Cyclops, who was very vocal on his dislike of the idea, Logan accepted the special class as his newest students.
