Anyway. There are two main books here. The first is the roster, which gives you playable stats for the roughly 7 million X-characters (the box includes an amusing poster illustrating the major members of the various X-groups to help you keep them all straight). The second book is a sourcebook. Most of it is given over to the lengthy history of the mutants and their various factions. The real meat are the details on locations like the X-mansion, Madripoor and other X-locales from the comics. I am a sucker for maps.

The final book is a ridiculous adventure that pits the heroes against such terrifying villains as Arcade and Mandrill and culminates in a basketball game. I kid you not. One of the poster maps is a giant high school basketball court.

Side note: I really miss punk rock Storm.
