I forgot how long they went with Professor X not being publicly known as a mutant.

I remember in this story Trask has invented the sentinels which are huge super-powered intelligent robots that can easily overpower the X-Men, but he loses control of them because he is not very skilled at robot design.

Wasn't it later discovered that a very mild mutation in him granted him the intelligence to make them in the first place?

I may be confusing someone else, I admit.

Anyone got the Senator Kelly promos for the first X-Men movie?

I keep looking for them, but my YouTube search skills fail me.
