Logan, a mutant with a healing factor and adamantium claws, encounters other mutants and is recruited by Professor Charles Xavier to join the X-Men. Xavier's X-Men, including Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm, protect humanity from rogue mutants like Magneto and his Brotherhood, who believe in mutant superiority. Magneto plans to use a machine to forcibly mutate world leaders at a summit on Liberty Island, turning them into mutants to eliminate anti-mutant legislation. The X-Men infiltrate Magneto's base on Liberty Island, battling members of the Brotherhood, including Mystique, Sabretooth, and Toad.

Professor Charles Xavier, Max LensherrI just wanted to make you clear on something. Personally, I don't care what Magneto wants with you. He can take those claws of yours and use them for Barbecue skewers. What I do care about is the safety of this group. The Professor is in charge, and after the Professor, there's me. So, for the remainder of your time here, you're going to keep that killer instinct of yours locked down so no one else gets hurt.
But you know that it is a war, old friend. And to win a war it takes the will to fight it at all costs, by any means necessary. And for that reason, I will always have the advantage. No matter how you trap me, how I am contained - I will always find an escape.
The point is to step into a more evolved position of social responsibility. To recognize that there is a world out there and that we mutants are as much a part of it as normal human beings.

I've served with men like you before. Methodical. Systematic -- Naive. You know what happens to those men in a real fight?
What?... miss me? Charley, Iím gonna walk out the front door and trust me, it wonít be soon enough for everyone here.
