Summary
The year is 1954. The discovery of abiogenesis, DNA and the double helix have made massive waves in the fields of biology and chemistry. Erik and Charles meet as young men attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, initially opposing one another on the Mutatis Mutandis panels.
Erik is an ex-Sonderkommando and Haganah veteran who fled to the USA after defecting at Sinai, versus Charles - a too-privileged-for-his-own-good trust-fund nepo baby with more depth and complexity than the former could ever truly comprehend. Raven is a "private investigator" in polite company, and a mercenary to everyone else. The CIA shows up to ruin everyone's day.
All of their lives are forever altered by these intersections. Lots of bickering, trauma, and yes, the overwhelming power of love. Follows Erik and Charles as they establish the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youth, and over time develop disparate views as Erik grows increasingly radical in his pursuit for mutant safety and Charles suffers a devastating injury at the behest of Sebastian Shaw.
