| Logan (aka Wolverine) and Marie (aka Rogue) are mutants with special powers who meet up with the X-Men. Prof. Xavier runs a school for mutants and takes in the two newcomers. Mutants live in hiding, afraid of persecution. Senator Kelly is trying to develop a mutant registration law that will make mutants more of a target. Prof. X's arch enemy Magneto plans to use his powers to change everyone into mutants themselves. He starts with Sen. Kelly but Kelly winds up dying from the process. Meanwhile, Rogue leaves the mutant school because she's upset that her power can kill. Anyone she touches skin to skin, she absorbs their power and is able to use it while they are drained. Magneto kidnaps her to use Rogue in his devious plan. The X-Men rush into action and fly to the Statue of Liberty where Magneto has Rogue locked in place. He forces her to absorb his powers while he's got the other X-Men tied up. Wolverine manages to break free, fight a big hairy dude and stop the wave of energy from hitting the people and doing the mutant change thing. The day is saved! Rogue returns to Prof. X's school and Magneto is imprisoned. |
