Xavier School for Exceptionally Wayward Youth

Founding, and the study of Heropathy
The Xavier School for Exceptionally Wayward Youth was founded by Professor Charles Xavier in 1912, with funding from the united states government. On the surface the purpose of the school was to reform its students into respectable members of society, so they could reintegrate and find new lives for themselves.

Instead of reforming his students, he actually further trained them in criminal talents, due to his belief that sociopathy was in fact the next state in human behavioral evolution. He received copious funding from the united states government to continue his research into the fringe science of Heropathy, and what funding he couldn't retrieve from the government was garnered through thefts committed by his students, or paid by the parents of students he was 'reeducating'.

Many investigations have been launched into the school over the years but all tend to lead to dead ends, often times with investigators being found dead from suicide.

Following the war Professor Xavier found that many of his students who had been the most receptive of his Heropathy experimentation were the same ones who had 'awakened' with new mutations and abilities. After months of further study he found the concoction of narcotics, and neural training methods he subjected his students to actually managed to awaken mutant abilities within them that had lain dormant before.

The United States Government was thrilled with this discovery and increased his school's funding, paying him for the right to hire his students upon their graduation as assassins, mercenaries, and special agents. This turn of events caused the school to become highly successful, and make Charles Xavier a very wealthy man.
