Approaching the game's story using the death of Charles Xavier at the hands of a mutant killer named Bastion, X-Men Destiny offers players the opportunity to approach the offered storyline as one of three potential new hero characters, who then interact with familiar Marvel mutants (both good and bad) over the course of the game.
As much as the game holds some interest to some more experienced or seasoned readers of the X-Men comics of the last decade (like myself), it's safe to say that new players with little to no knowledge of the franchise's mythology should learn a thing or two about these heroes and villains, by the time they finish the game.
