X-Men presented in the comics serve as allegory to modern issues in the real world, such as Lydia Nance suggesting mass mutant deportation. The X-Men exist in the Marvel Universe along with other characters featured in Marvel Comics series. They often meet characters from other series, and the global nature of the mutant concept means the scale of stories can be highly varied. The X-Men's enemies range from mutant thieves to galactic threats. Historically, the X-Men have been based in the Xavier Institute, in the town of Salem, located in Westchester County, New York, and are often portrayed as a family.
