They used to attend school at the Xavier institute but after it was revealed they were mutants they went to the public school to show that other then their mutant powers they were just like everyone else. It wsa a public affairs thing. I believe Jean Grey did attend the public school before Xavier tapped her. I suppose many of them still live at the institute since their parents don’t want them back although I don’t recall them explaining that.
Exclusively at the Institute? 'Cause I seem to remember Rogue (before she joined up), Jean, Scott and, IIRC, Kurt , Kitty (and probably Spike, but who cares about him?) attending high school way at the beginning of the series. I’m thinking specifically of the first Blob episode which couldn’t have been more than 3 or 4 episodes into the series.
Hmm, I might have completely misinterpreted the last few episodes. I kinda thought they were attending public school when they discovered their powers and were then moved to private school. But reading through the episode guide I does look like I was wrong.
I think I misinterpreted the hullaballo they made about going back to Bayville thinking they were gone for a much longer period of time then they were.
Sorry DocCathode. What was the public face of the Xavier Institure supposed to be? A supplimental education in addition to Bayville?
I got the impression that the Xavier institute was supposed to be some sort of “Prep School” like deal for the first couple of seasons, but that it’s “cover” was pretty much blown (along with the above ground stories of the mansion) when the existance of mutants was revealed to the world between seasons 2-3.
Which, I suppose, sort of synchs them up with the current comic continuity.
In Evolution, the Institute isn’t a school itself. Not in the sense of the high school they attend. I don’t remember him ever referring to it as a school.
Unlike in the movies and comics, there’s no pretence that the Institute is really a school for normally gifted children. Prof X makes no bones to Kitty’s parents that she’s a mutant (and Kurt’s could hardly of missed the fact!), unlike, say, the Drakes in the movies. (I can’t think of that ever happening in the comics, either, actually, but I vaguely remember some strangeness with the Lees when Jubilation went to the School.)
The Xavier Institute is, in Evolution, to the parents, just what it really is - a place where their mutant children can come to terms with, and learn to control, their powers. Their more traditional schooling is done at a more traditional school - which makes sense, as separating them seems like a good way to create Magnetos, or Mystiques, or Brotherhoods of Mutants.
There’s no real indication of what kind of front he projects to the world at large.
This is exactly what happened in the show. She tried to absorb Juggernaut but he was too much and she more or less collapsed. It did weaken him, however. Although, he was still almost too much for the whole damned team!
Actually, what they did with the gems of Cyttorak fits mostly in with the comic, at least in the early days. Cain Marko activated his “mutant genes” with mysticism. Magneto got a hold of some of the Gems and used them to super-enhance mutants, (“They are genetic enhancers.”) so I imagine that could have been what the Juggernaut got ahold of.
This did happen in the fight with Juggernaut. Scott took off his visor and blasted the big guy with everything. Didn’t quite stop the Juggernaut.
I can confirm they attended public school before this and continued to do so after their public outing.
Kurt’s mom is Mystique. He was a raised by a Gypsy circus mystic or something, however. Regardless, I 'm guessing they apparently thought a fuzzy blue elf would fit in at home. 
I still say Magneto is really blind. Dude, the geek at NASA would freaking overrule Congress if you’d go work for them. Theyd love you! Plus, they are geeks so they’d love to watch those k3w1 powers.
I gotta ask – is this a real conversation, or were you fantasizing?
I have Essential Uncanny X-Men volume 1, which is a black-and-white reprint of the first 24 issues of the X-Men ever published (from 1963-1966).
In those early issues, neither the parents of Warren Worthington III (Angel) nor the parents of Jean Gray (Marvel Girl) knows that their children are mutants.
No offense to Mr and Mrs. Warren Worthington II, but you have to be pretty damn unobservant to not notice your son has SEVEN FOOT WINGS growing from his back.
Somehow this inspires me to imagine a mutant version of American Pie…
Twice that I remember. Once was during a “Marvel Team-up” where Cain split his power with Black Tom. Rogue absorbed and went beserk.
Another time was the post “Morlock Massacre” when they fought in ScotLand. It was just X-Babes and LongShot aginats Juggernaut. Dazzler blinded him, Rogue bounced up to him and kiss him, stunning him slightly, Rogue picked him up, popped off his helemt and threw him to the ground, allowing Psylocke and Dazzler to finish him off.
CITE?
Cain and Xavier found the temple while fighting in IIRC Korea. Cain didn’t even go looking for the temple of Cytorak. They were seperated from their unit. They sought shelter in a cave. Cain grabbed the big, shiny ruby.
And in what comic was there more than one ruby of Cyttorak? When Cain wanted to give it to Black Tom, he had to go back to the temple and dig it up.
Young Warren Worthington III moved away from home to study at the Xavier institute when his wings were just tiny little buds.
Oh, 
I meant his adoptive parents (German circus folk.).
FANTASIZING! Granted, that was a nice fantasy…
I was talking about the TV show, where Juggernaut’s creation backstory is left unspecified, with only a couple of minor hints.
Last night’s was one I hadn’t seen before, though apparently others have: . New characters (kinda) introduced: Mesmero, Mastermind, Angel, and of course Apocalypse! Though I’m not sure why he’s the “most powerful mutant the world has ever seen” or whatever. Someone manipulated Magneto, even! That was cool. And Nightcrawler calling Rogue “sister” was nice.
Smiling Bandit Sorry, I was confused by the first sentence of your post and thought you were making a claim about the comics.
Tengu
Kurt was adopted by a Rom(not to be confused with the SpaceKnight of that name) sorceress, Mara of the winding road. Presumably, she was able to tell that Kurt simply looked demonic.
Could somebody please give me the spoiler version of why/how/when Gambit became a bad guy? I haven’t caught all the episodes recently, and I’m only a light reader of the comics, so when I watched the show recently and saw Iceman, Colossus, and evil-Gambit, and others, I was a wee bit confused.
Seems like a bunch of news chars got added while I was missing shows.
smoke…there’s not much to spoil, really. Magneto just showed up in the second-to-last episode of the second season with four Acolytes, and they were Pyro, Sabretooth, Colossus, and Gambit. Cartoon Network is now deep into season three, but still there’s been no explanation given for why Gambit works for Magneto in the “Evolution” universe. Pyro and Sabretooth are bad guys of course, and there’s been a brief hint that Colossus is being coerced, but Gambit? Nada.
Gambit in the comics was a thief and mutant for hire long before he was an X-Men. It wasn’t until an operation involving the Morlocks went horribly wrong that he began to tread the path of good.
