Plot of the Pilot
Anna Marie, a teenage mutant with the ability to inflict pain on any human she touches, is on the run from becoming captured by the human police. She is eventually saved by Firefly, a mutant vigilante who helps young mutants.

Marie and Firefly flee to safety and find Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a safe haven for mutants. Firefly remembers the place long before, as she and Marie enter the place. There, Firefly finds her father Professor X / Charles Xavier, the founder of the school and the X-Men - a group of mutants who do their best resolve attacks involving mutants - as she reveals her name is Lisa Xavier. Marie is explained that she can also absorb the powers of other humans by touching them, however, it will take some time to control these powers, just like any other mutant at the school has to learn to control their powers. Marie, accepted as a new student, is introduced by mutants Kitty Pryde, Bobby Drake and Piotr Rasputin, all of which she easily gets along with and become friends.

The X-Men, the professor's best veteran mutant fighters, consist of Scott Summers / Cyclops (the leader), Logan / Wolverine, Jean Grey, Dr. Henry McCoy / Beast (who also, alongside the professor and Jean, deals with the political issues involving mutants), and Ororo Munroe / Storm. Firefly was an early founding member of the team before she sacrificed herself to save the professor, and eventually got separated from them, as the X-Men presumed she was dead. Firefly was also Cyclops' girlfriend before she disappeared and he moved on to marry Jean.The professor believes that mutants should make peace with humans, as conflict will only make things worse.

Their latest mission is to stop the evil Brotherhood of Mutants, led by Erik Lensherr / Magneto (the professor's friend turned enemy), from assassinating Senator Kelly, in an attempt to threaten humans that if they try to revolt against the Brotherhood, their race shall be die out. Erik believes that humans aren't able to keep peace when they can't even keep peace between thmselves. The mission initially goes wrong when the humans take their presence the wrong way, thinking they are going to attack, but the X-Men eventually defeat the Brotherhood, who flees. However, the battle has given the X-Men the wrong image by the media. The X-Men figure that they should train some new recruits if there are any threats that require a much bigger team. Unbeknownst to them, Erik's supposed defeat was part of a much bigger plan.
