Description

The X-Patrol (X-Men + Doom Patrol)

Origins:
Dr. Niles Xavier and Prof. Jean-Luc Magnus both have dreams about the future of their people, the metamutants (mutants + metahumans), but their differing opinions on how to achieve their dreams is what drove these friends apart; while Niles believes that metamutants and normal humans can live together in peace, Jean-Luc believes that metamutants deserve to rule over humanity.
When Jean-Luc and his genetically-engineered army of super-animals tried to invade Washington, DC, Doc X. assembled a trio of metahumans to combat them. And thus was born the X-Patrol.

1st Row, L-to-R:

Doc X.:
Amalgamation of: Professor Charles Xavier + Dr. Niles Caulder
Real Name: Dr. Niles Xavier
Biography: In the 1930s, telepathic college student Niles Xavier was traveling abroad in France when it was invaded by the armies of Nazi Germany. Niles joined the French Resistance as one of the only members with superpowers, along with magnetism manipulator Jean-Luc Magnus, and metal-fleshed Claudius “Cliff ” Rasputin. After the war, Niles and Jean-Luc graduated from their respective colleges and became colleagues, but their contrasting thoughts on human-metamutant relations made them enemies. When Niles learned that Jean-Luc, now going by the name “Magnetron” (Magneto + The Brain), was raising an army of mutant animals to take over the United States, Magnetron's agent, Kalcifer (Lucifer + Kalki), injected the base of Niles' spine with nano-explosives and Magnetron threatened to blast Xavier's torso off if he ever interfered. Dr. Xavier managed to remove the bombs, but it cost him the ability to walk. So, in order to stop the invasion, Xavier used his telepathic powers, amplified by his prototype supercomputer CEREBRO (CEREbral Broadcasting and Receiving Operator), to summon his old friend “Cliff” Rasputin, and two new metamutants, Scott Dayton and Jean Farr. With the team's victory over Magnetron's army, the team decided to stay together as a team of superhuman crime-fighters, the X-Patrol. As a front for recruiting metamutants into the X-Patrol, Dr. Xavier transformed his mansion into “The Xavier Institute for Better Education.”

He eventually grew up to become an extremely wealthy young man (due to the inheritance his parents left him that allowed him to start an R&D firm), but the childhood trauma to his head left him incapable of controlling the continuous beams of psychic energy that shoot from his eyes, forcing him to construct a special visor that prevents this. His employees eventually learn that he’s a metamutant and try to kill him, but Scott is saved by Dr. Xavier erasing the mob’s memories. Scott, grateful to Dr. Xavier, soon joined the X-Patrol as Mindsye. Steve later married teammate Jean Farr, and the couple adopted Garfield Altman as their son.

Gar is later found by the superhero team, the X-Patrol, and adopted by Scott and Jean Dayton. Gar honed his shape-shifting powers and officially joined the X-Patrol under the alias “Beastling,” but when he chose to save his adoptive family over stopping Magnetron’s villain team, the Brotherhood, from escaping, Gar left the team after a falling out with his ‘father’, Scott.

Cliff was later summoned by Xavier’s telepathic powers to help battle Magnetron’s mutant animal army, but in the midst of the battle, his organic metal body was destroyed by Magnetron’s magnetic powers.

He was forced to wear a tattoo of an ‘M’ over his right eye to identify that he’s a metamutant. He accidentally came into the past when he flew through a radioactive field in the atmosphere that clashed with his energy-controlling powers. This also augmented his powers, but also took off his arm and made his body extremely radioactive and deadly. Doc X. gave Larry a new, mechanical arm and wrapped Larry’s body in chemically-treated, lead-lined bandages to protect people from his radiation. When he discovered that his soul can exist outside his body as a nuclear ghost, he joined the X-Patrol as Anti-Man.
