Introduction
Xavier’s school has been a key ingredient in the X-Men mythos since its inception. Over the years, its student body has evolved and expanded. However, until recently Xavier’s mutant followers all lived under the pretense that they were merely students at Xavier’s exclusive academy and kept their mutant nature a secret from the outside world. Recent events have lifted the veil of secrecy and the mutant nature of the Xavier Institute has become public knowledge. Where once there were only a handful of mutants living and studying at the school, there are now just over 100 students enrolled.
