 Professor X (Charles Xavier)
History:
The full origin and early life of Charles Xavier remains to be revealed. As a young child, his father worked for a top secret research facility, perhaps tied into the Weapon X project that spawned such products as the mutant Wolverine. He died when Charles was still at an early age, and his mother remarried into the Marko family, and Charles was often abused by his older brother, Cain (later, the Juggernaut.)
Later, as an adult and fully aware of his abilities, Xavier wandered the world. He ran into Amahl Farouk, (later, the Shadow King,) when in Cairo, who tried to accost Xavier on the astral plane. After the intense battle, Xavier walked away, but Farouk was dead. Eventually, Xavier ended up in Israel, working with the Peace Corps. Briefly staying in the hospital, Xavier met and fell in love with his nurse, Gabrielle, who would later give birth to their son, David (later, Legion, ) unknown to Xavier. He also met and developed a friendship with fellow mutant, Eric Lensherr, who would eventually become his enemy Magneto. Later still, in the mountains of the Himalayas, Xavier encountered the alien calling himself Lucifer, who was in the process of dominating the world by broadcasting mental-dominating energies. Xavier defeated the alien, but was left without the use of his legs.
Soon, he also would meet and fall in love with Ameila Vought. Always wondering what to do with his abilities, Xavier would attempt to form the X-men in a School for Gifted Youngsters. For reasons of her own, Vought left Xavier before he began implementing the school. Xavier started with Jean Grey and soon developed a working team. He mentored their training and adventuring, while continually monitoring other mutant activity, whether or not they would join his "X-men" eventually. He also began creating a database of mutant sympathisers in a type of "underground railroad." .

Cyclops (Scott Summers)
History:
 Cyclops' earliest memories were that of the death of his parents. He and his brother, Alex (Havok), were pushed from a doomed plane by their father, giving them the only parachute within the plane, effectively sacrificing their lives for their children’s. The chute failed to open, and this is when Scott discovered his mutant ability for the first time; optic blasts of incredible strength. Using these blasts to slow their descent, he and Alex survived. Orphaned early, he spent much of his young life in an orphanage, Alex having been adopted shortly after their arrival there. His years at the orphanage were tough, made even harder by the constant heckling and bullying of another boy named Nathan. It was much later revealed that Mr. Sinister had posed as the boy, in an attempt to sway young Scott to his cause and learn more about him.
As time went on, Scott found himself still unable to control his mutant power. It was through the help of Professor Xavier that he discovered the only thing that would keep them in check: a ruby quartz visor. He wears this protection to this day, though sometimes in the form of glasses. Professor X made him leader of the newly formed teenage mutant team called the X-Men, a job Scott never felt he was truly worthy of. Unable to even control even his mutant power, how could he lead an entire team? Yet, he did so through many perils, and it was also here that he found his first love, Jean Grey (then Marvel Girl). The two fell in love almost at first sight.

Marvel Girl (Jean Grey)
History:
 Jean Grey's powers were activated at an early age, when she witnessed her friend's death from a car crash and telepathically experienced it with her. Professor Xavier noticed this, and contacted her family, training Jean in learning to control her powers. Soon, Professor X contacted other young mutants, forming the School for Gifted Youngsters and thus the X-Men. Jean stayed with the X-Men for quite some time, adventuring as Marvel Girl, and developed her long-term relationship with teammate Cyclops.

Wolverine (Logan)
History:
 Much of Logan's history remains to be revealed, (including his true age,) and what history has been revealed may or may not be implanted memories or otherwise tampered memories.
It has been revealed that Logan had served in a war with a group called the Devil's Brigade and later became a freelance intelligence agent, and at one time part of a covert team of government agents with Maverick and Sabretooth.
An indeterminate time later, Logan was somehow involved in the "weapon X" program, where his bones were bonded to adamantium.
Later (or perhaps, immediately after,) Logan was found behaving as little more than an animal by James MacDonald Hudson and his wife Heather (both later known as Guardian and Vindicator.) Heather was instrumental in calming the bestial Logan, and James and Heather helped Logan regain his human self, although he was still prone to berserker rages. Logan even helped in James' Dept. H program and later at the Canadian government's request as Weapon X.
Professor Xavier later invited Logan to join his new band of X-men, and he agreed, taking the name "Wolverine." Later, James' Alpha Flight tried to re-impress Wolverine into their services, but Wolverine refused, although he has since reconciled with the team. Wolverine has stayed with the X-men since then, although he has taken leave of them occasionally to pursue his own adventures.

Rogue
History:
 Rogue's career began rather questionably with the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants, which was led by her foster mother, Mystique. Her powers took hold much earlier, manifesting at the time of her first kiss with her childhood friend Cody. Not knowing the damage it would do, she kissed him innocently, and drained him of all of his memories, leaving him in a coma. This first tragic incident caused her much pain as she realised she could never touch another living being. She later came to realise that the absorption of memories was not always permanent, but only occurred with prolonged contact. She also discovered that she could absorb another mutants powers, as well as their memories, and Mystique put this power to work by making her part of the Brotherhood.
On her first mission with the Brotherhood, she fought against a super-hero named Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), whom she stole the powers of flight, super-strength and invulnerability from. After stealing the powers, she tried to throw Ms. Marvel from the bridge they were fighting on, but she held on to Rogue's hand trying to take her with her. She held on too long, and the absorption became permanent, leaving Rogue with all of Carol Danvers' memories and powers. Rogue disappeared from public view following that incident.
Meanwhile, Carol Danvers, now powerless and with little to no memory of her former life tried putting the pieces back together with no luck. Her quandry eventually led her to the X-Men, seeking the help of Professor X of putting her mind back together. Elsewhere, Rogue surfaced, having a brief run-in with Wolverine before escaping. A short time later, Rogue arrived on the doorstep of the X-Mansion, also seeking Professor X's help. Her mind was shattered from the continuing battle between her and Carol Danvers' psyches, and she asked for his help in piecing her mind back together. He answered her plea for help, and admitted her as part of the team. Unfortunately, Carol Danvers was not so forgiving. In the time she had spent with the X-Men, latent mutant powers had surfaced and she sent Rogue into orbit, literally, with a punch when she entered the mansion. Rogue returned to find Carol Danvers in heated discussion with Professor X. He was convinced that Rogue should be taught to control her powers so that further incidents such as the one with Carol would not happen. Carol Danvers, now Binary Star, left the mansion in a huff, never to return.
It was a rough time for Rogue as she was slowly accepted by the team, the hardest to convince being Wolverine who had been very close to Carol Danvers during the early days of his career. But eventually, through much effort and sacrifice, they came to accept her. In the early days with the team she used her power of absorption often, usually stealing their powers and memories with the kiss so often denied her in life.
