- X-Men are from the Non MAU series X-Men: Evolution.
X-Men are a group of mutants formed under the leadership of Charles Xavier. The group later formed the offshoot team the New Mutants. The team came under scrutiny during the reveal of mutants, in which they were accused of controlling the Sentinel that had attacked them. Once the real perpetrator, Bolivar Trask, was captured, the group was cleared of any wrongdoing.
The group went into hiding during the mutant scare, and proved themselves as allies to humanity when they defeated Juggernaut after he began to attack a dam. The teenage members of the group were given constant harassment during their years in high school, and were only alleviated from the stress during their graduations. When Apocalypse's release was on the horizon, the group formed a alliance with the Acolytes and still failed to stop the villain from being freed. The team and their allies fought against the Horsemen of Apocalypse, and defeated Apocalypse as well.
History

Beginning
Students
Kurt Wagner, known for having a demonic appearance around his homeland, came into contact with Charles Xavier. The latter requested that he join the group, and got his request granted when he and Storm met the boy at a subway. After the three returned to the mansion, Charles introduced him to the group's basic adjustments, yet neglected to give him information on the Danger Room. This changed when he and Toad accidentally went inside the room while they started to argue and fight against each other. Their lives were threatened, yet were saved by Cyclops and Jean. The event caused Nightcrawler to wish to quit the team, but he stayed after Cyclops convinced him to.
The X-Man that would become known as Shadowcat, Kitty Pryde, discovered her powers in her sleep a few days later and had difficulty relating to her parents about it. To make matters worse, she became the subject of unwanted attention by Lance Alvers, who had seen her make use of her powers and was interested in exploiting them. Despite being coerced into phasing him through the school's office, Kitty joined the X-Men after saving her parents and Jean, proving that her powers were not the curse she originally thought they were.
After joining the X-Men, she had difficulty adjusting to the team, just as their next attempted recruit Rogue had difficulty adjusting to her own powers. The team went to recruit her, knowing the potential she had and how dangerous it would be if anyone tried to exploit it. However, Mystique managed to trick Rogue into mistrusting the X-Men, due to her ability to change into different members of the group, which she used to attack her. Despite their best wishes, Rogue slipped away, yet became local to them after she transferred to Bayville High School, where the teenage members of team regularly attended school.
The team would then try to recruit Fred Dukes, who began a dialogue with Mystique before they were able to talk to him. He transferred to Bayville as well and became friends with Jean, who tried to encourage him to join the X-Men. Despite this attempt, she only succeeded in getting Blob to be attracted to her. Once she declined his request to date, Blob abducted her. Though Cyclops and Wolverine got to her at separate times, Rogue proved to be the one to save her, as the others were knocked out.
With two failed attempts to recruit mutants, the record was seemingly set. However, Evan Daniels, the nephew of team member Storm, was in desperate need of their aid. His powers were both dangerous and also could be helpful to them in regards, though he resolved to avoiding the group initially to chase after his own personal vendettas. After the team bailed him out of jail, he joined the group and was aided by Cyclops and Jean in defeating Quicksilver, his longtime enemy and a villain in his own right.
Bonds
The team initially did not make much of a communication to each other, apart from Cyclops, Jean and Nightcrawler. Once Nightcrawler got into a argument with Cyclops following a fallout regarding their maturities, the former escaped to the basement of Bayville High School, where he came in contact with Rogue. The latter accidentally fired a machine at him, and believed she had killed him. Feeling guilty, she stopped the group from going after Toad once he started using the device and led them in the right direction, and allowed Nightcrawler to return to his dimension with Forge.
Avoiding segregation
Following their return to the still-being rebuilt Xavier Mansion, the X-Men were crammed around each other since their rooms were still not ready. Charles met with the main group, and also stressed to them the importance of their behavior during their day of the school, as that night votes would go in as to whether or not mutants would be allowed back at the school. The team returned to school, where it became apparent that their classmates disliked them for their powers and not for the content of their characters. Nightcrawler managed to avoid this, as his Image inducer hid his real appearance, though it cost him the appreciation of his teammates.
During the conference that night, Duncan Matthews got with the Brotherhood of Mutants and teamed up with them against the X-Men, who he confronted and attacked once they refused to leave him alone with Cyclops. Despite not being able to use their powers and taking some damage along the way, Jean Grey was able to show the public the good of mutants when she recited her speech to the people in the auditorium that night. The group was allowed back to school permanently as a result, to which Charles told them that they would be the first to take steps into the world of mutant-knowing individuals and see how their relations would rank with that of the future.
