X-Men: The Xavier Files
Importance Rating: 4.0 out of 10
Author: Justine Korman ISBN: 0679861777 Release Date: 1994 Page Count: 105 pages Summary: Professor Xavier runs a school for mutants and works to establish harmony between them and humans. Through reading his secret computer files, youngsters will be introduced to Wolverine, who is phenomenally strong and has retractable adamantium claws; Storm, who can control the weather; Cajun Gambit, who unleashes the energy of inanimate objects; Beast, a blue furry genius; Jubilee, a mall-loving teen whose hands shoot energy blasts; and Cyclops, who emits penetrating optic blasts. While the stories are short and of high interest, the vocabulary is often challenging. These are intellectual mutants given to philosophizing and waxing heroic. One distraction is the use of dialect to convey the Southern and French accents of Rogue and Gambit. However, the popularity of the characters, who are also featured in Marvel comics, guarantees an interest in the series. -
