Could it be, they wondered, that the culprit was a mutant version of the APP gene? In 1991 scientists at London's St. Mary's Hospital Medical School screened the DNA of an Alzheimer's family and found what every geneticist in the field had been furiously looking for.

Amidst the persecution of a society that fears and hates them, the X-Men seek the allegiance of a new mutant named Wolverine, who must make a choice. Does he choose Xavier's idealistic dream of a peaceful co-existence between humanity and mutantkind, or does he opt for Magneto's vision of a world in which mutants replace humans on top of the evolutionary ladder? Translating a comic book onto...
