Before he was Professor X, he was Charles. Before he was Magneto, he was Erik.
This fashion shoot is taking forever!
The epic beginning of the X-Men saga reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not arch enemies, they were, at first, the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants, to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.
