The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

What did he do with his life? Really, she didn't know. But he did do one thing. "He's a self defense teacher at the mansion." She said. "In addition to everything else he does."
She sipped her drink.
Margo have her her opinion. Amelia digested it as she drank her mocha.
Scope.
"I had the same thought, actually." Amelia said. "The X men used to do that. My friend Shin was part of the xmen efforts in Romania. It didn't pan out much. Since then, they haven't done much outside New York... That I know of." She hedged. "Just worked with the police. The police don't need them as much now, though." She frowned. "And really, they kind of tie them down."
"I can be an X man and policewoman. Thats fine. But those are two different things. They don't need to be the same." Amelia finished.

Sam was a self defense teacher at the Mansion, in addition to everything else he did. It wasn’t a terribly helpful answer, but that was what you got when you intentionally framed a question vaguely because you didn’t want to sound too judgmental of your friends’ friends. Margo, a girl of seventeen, tended to find herself in this situation more often than she should.
“What’s he like, as a person?” She tried again, this time more bluntly. “I’d rather hear it from someone who knows him than just out and about, if you know what I mean.” In other words: how much of what they say about him is true?
Margo listened to the other woman and drank her chai.
“Agreed,” she said, once Amelia had finished. She hadn't known about Romania, so it had probably been before she’d realized that she was a mutant and started paying attention to that kind of thing. It was something she’d have to discuss with Shin or his friends, somewhere further down the line. Not now. “Doesn’t the police have a MRC division to do what the X-men are doing right now, anyway? If they do, they don’t need the X-men. I guess the X’s need the police so far as to make what they do legal, though?” It was all so complicated.
“What even is an X-man?” wondered Margo aloud. A symbol? A vigilante? That was the real question, when it came down to it.
"Sam is a good person. He has his flaws. He drinks too much. He likes women A LOT. But he does all the things you'd consider heroic. He protects the innocent. He defends his friends. He tries to keep peace in the city. He even teaches kids how to defend themselves. Nobody is perfect. And he has a lot on his plate. I think running the X-men sort of got pushed onto him. Then again," she considered it. "The best leaders are often the ones that don't want to lead outright, but choose to help others, and assume leadership for the greater good."
Now that that was out of the way, she gave her Romania spiel and Margo agreed. Margo brought up MRC.
"Yep." Amelia said. "MRC was around for a while before the X-men started working with the police. The X-men and MRC kind of learned from each other and got better. Now MRC is able to handle things more on their own, and doesn't need the X-men. No idea about legality. That's a question for my brother, the Lawyer."
>> “What even is an X-man?” wondered Margo aloud.
Amelia laughed. "If you're asking what the X stands for, it's for the first name of the mansion's mysterious benefactor. Some Xavier guy who provides money for Xavier's sister school. If you're asking about what they stand for. I always thought they stood for peace and understanding. For mutants proving to humanity that we're equal. That we can help. That we, as people, mutant or human, can do more. But that's just my thoughts."

Peace and understanding. Equality. The idea that mutants and humans could do more. Margo nodded along to what Amelia said, and sipped at her drink. Those were good ideas. As for what else the X-men were supposed to be, she wasn’t sure yet. It was something that’d keep her up, thinking long and hard, for many nights.
She and Amelia exchanged phone numbers. After that, they didn’t talk— about anything important, that is. Amelia drank her mocha, and Margo drank her chai. Eventually, they went their separate ways.
They’d meet back up, of course, and the X-men would never be the same for it.
