TheX-Corporation (X-Corp) is a fictional institution appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics, commonly in association with theX-Men comics. This organization was created to ensure the protection ofmutant rights throughout the world due to the increasing number of mutants and widespreadbigotry andhate crimes against them.
X-Corp was founded byProf. Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-Men.[1] Its purpose is to provide support for "civilian" mutant populations on a global scale in a world where the mutant population was outgrowing the reach of the X-Men. X-Corp offices are located in many major cities in every continent, and each office is managed by a former member of the X-Men or one of their satellite teams, such asSunspot orDomino. The worldwide headquarters of the X-Corporation is theX-Mansion. X-Corp works with local governments, such as when they took inMolly Hayes on behalf of the Social Services of Los Angeles.
It should not be confused with theX-Corps, a short-livedparamilitary team led byBanshee, which merged with the X-Corporation after its dissolution, most of its members transferring to the Paris branch.
In the wake of theDecimation of mutantkind, wherein 90-95% of the mutant population was rendered genetically and physically human and thus powerless, several bombings occurred at X-Corporation locales. For the safety of those operating the facilities, and to regroup all empowered members,Cyclops ordered the evacuation of all X-Corp offices and the organization appears to be dead. With the minimal mutant population and the strict government rules imposed on mutants, the organization would serve no purpose.
