This cartoon is X-Men written over with the scenario of the New Mutants of the 1980s or the later Generation X story. Basically, there are a few adult mutants hanging out at Professor X's school while the rest are teenagers who get into trouble. This cartoon should be called "X-Teens," since that's what you get if you watch it. If you want to see a great representation of what made the X-Men so cool in the first place, look up "Astonishing X-Men" on this site. Honestly, the story was better when it wasn't commercial or made for kids.
