Xavier recruited Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl,
calling them "X-Men" because they possess special powers due to their
possession of the "X-gene," a gene which normal humans lack and which
gives mutants their abilities. Early on, however, the "X" in X-Men stood
for "extra" power which normal humans lacked. It was also alluded to
that mutations occurred as a result of radiation exposure.
