Mutant High

MutantHigh.com (full name: Mutatis Mutandis: The Online Division of the Xavier Institute) is a website which is a fan based site run by David Sanders, AKA CharleyX. Based on X-Men comics from Marvel Comics, it at times covers other characters and events published by Marvel, including The Avengers and crossovers that involve the X-Men. The site is updated reguarly with previews, solitics and news AbOUT X-Men. Currently the website is organized as a web-based school, with various departments containing "classes" that are categorized information resources about the X-Men Universe.

History

This is from CharleyX... "Basically I started the site 10 years ago in college when I saw that there was a lot of incorrect or incomplete information about the X-Men on various X-Men fansites. I started with detailed bios and short reviews, then branched out into other topics such as the Mutant Powers Theory. When X-Men: The Movie came out I came up with the school idea of MutantHigh.com (based on Bobby's line "Welcome to Mutant High" to Rogue in the class scene) as the Online Division of the Xavier Institute and started to re-imagine the old info into classes and come up with new classes."
