The X-Men
First Appearance: The Mutant Agenda
Members: Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Gambit, Beast, Rouge, Jubilee and Storm

The X-Men are a group of freedom fighters united to fight for peace between mutants, regular people born with extraordinary abilities, and humans. Founded by Proffessor Charles Xavier, The X-Men fight to protect a world that hates and fears them.

Spider-Man originally came to seek Xavier's help with his mutantion disease only to clash with the X-Men and leave empty-handed. After Beast went missing that same evening, Wolverine believed that Spider-Man set him up, and went gunning for the web slinger. After realizing that Spider-Man wasn't to blame, Spider-Man and Wolverine searched for the real kidnappers, and found Beast's old collegue, Herbert Landon responsible. Landon had devised a plan to kill all mutants using Beast's earlier research.

After Spider-Man and Wolverine saved Beast, Landon fell into a vat of the mutant killing chemical and mutated into a huge, 30-foot monster. Spider-Man was forced to team with the X-Men and they managed to stop the creature. Wolverine then reminded Spider-Man that he has friends who can help him.

Spider-Man remembered that when he was challenged by The Beyonder during the "Secret Wars," and chose Storm to fight alongside him.
