Q102116

X-Men is the subject of this Academic Paragraph.

X-Men is a movie about a world where mutants occupy a large population of the people. They are rejected by normal humans, and thus form a crowd (Lifespan Development p.325). They seek refuge at the X-Mansion, a school and haven for mutants everywhere. Professor Charles Xavier is the leader of the school and is a great illustration of general slowing(Lifespan Development p.443). Mutants like Wolverine, Cyclops and Storm are older than the students and help teach them how to control their powers. Meanwhile, an evil mutant named Magneto despises humans. He wants to destroy them in order for peace to be established with all mutants. Xavier knows this, and tries to stop magneto. Magneto creates a device that is able to transform any target into a mutant. Magneto places the device on the top of the Statue of Liberty in order to have a good point to strike the city. He uses Rogue (who is a mutant able to drain powers) to power the device. Xavier's mutants swarm the statue of liberty and are able to overcome Magneto, saving the city. Magneto is then imprisoned, but still displays an internal locus of control (Lifespan Development, p. 342) and tells Xavier that he will never stop. Xavier responds by saying that the X-Men will always stand by to stop him.
