These youngest members of the X-Men family are based
in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, formerly
the Massachusetts Academy, the training ground
for the Hellions. Under the tutelage of headmasters
Sean Cassidy (Banshee) and Emma
Frost (formerly the White Queen) plus the ocassional visiting X-Man, the members
of Generation X learn to best utilize their powers to help a world that hates,
fears and wants to destroy them. A difficult schedule, but the kids always find
a way to have fun (and get into trouble). While the team remains a mix of individuals,
many with mysterious pasts, it has on the whole developed into a close-knit and
effective force in its short history. Recently, however, the team was shattered
during a terrible battle which not all of them survived. A few months later, with
both headmasters apparently suffering from recent losses in their lives, the students
quit the Academy and went to find their own paths in the world.
