My friends and I had a question, what if Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning wasn't for mutants? What if it was for disabled kids instead? And the kids are playing pretend with their "powers"
- Logan: double arm amputee with metal joints aka his 'claws'
- Peter/Pietro Maximoff: an albino who has severe asthma and is still a kleptomaniac (bro still runs everywhere)
- Erik Lehnsherr: has an incredibly crippling iron deficiency and takes many iron supplements. Also helps fix any toys, and the kids think he can bend metal
- Xavier: alopecia and is paralyzed waist down, given the role of telepath because he always knows when a kid is stressed and knows what to say
- Scott Summers: blinded by an accident/slowly lost his vision and wears his red glasses because they "look cooler, I think", the kids say he shoots lasers, that's why he always has to wear his glasses
- Wanda Maximoff: mute and knows sign language, different languages of sign language, which is her 'spells' because no one else can understand what she's saying except for her brother
- Warren Worthington III: severe scoliosis, had surgery which is where his 'wings' are, the new metal wings are his new back brace
- Kurt Wagner: strange skin condition and natural elf ears, was born with four fingers and toes on each hand and foot, manages to pop up and disappear quickly
- Piotr/Peter Nikolayevich Rasputin: large Russian man, triple amputee, one leg and both arms, super advanced prosthetics. Welder, always wearing a welder's helmet. Kids believe he's made of metal
- Sean Cassidy: on the spectrum, has awful voice control and yells a lot. Stims very aggressively sometimes
- Kitty: half blind, bad depth perception and walks into walls and doors, which kids just say she isn't using her power. They say she's supposed to walk through walls, that's why she always walks into them
- Rogue: aggressive kid, IED, anxiety disorder. Extremely touch adverse and is learning to be kinder and copies the kids' behaviors to learn
- Jean Gray: constantly gets migraines, a quiet kid who helps in the background, same dadstincts as Xavier, so was 'gifted' telepathy as well
- Hank: BPD, hairy man. Still polydactyl and hides when he gets overwhelmed, extreme anxiety, also heavily on the spectrum
- Sabertooth: hair grows all over very thick, nails grow fast and has sharper canines. IED as well, bipolar
- Alex Summers: heart disease and problems, rash on hands that he wears gloves to cover and protect. Hurt his hands in accident as well
- Ororo Munroe: struck by lightning three different times, hypothyroidism made her hair white, has trouble with limb control due to repeated lighting strikes
- Cable: lost his eye and arm in an accident, has a fake eye and prosthetic arm. His depth perception is still surprisingly good, so the kids say he's part cyborg
And that, my dears, is all we have so far, please lmk if y'all have any ideas for other X-Men, this is one of my favorite AUs
