... in AoA, as I understand it, the x-men were unfounded. Legion (son of Prof. X) went back in time to try to kill Magneto. Prof X protected Magneto, and Legion accidentally killed the Prof, thus starting the sequence that would lead to AoA. Magneto then decided to fulfill the Prof's dream (ergo, the X-Men), and founded his own group (including Rogue, Colossus, etc, etc). Gambit split off from the group to form his own, because of romantic problems with Rogue, and ended up leading himself, Lila Cheney, Strong Guy, and Jubilee to the M'Krann Crystal. When Jean Grey was captured by Mr. Sinister, Wolverine went solo to rescue her. In the process, he fought with Cyclops (who, with his brother Havok, was working for Sinister. Beast was also working for Apocalypse, though as another scientist, like Sinister). In the fight, Wolverine clawed one of Cyke's eyes out, and Cyke blasted one of Wolvie's hands off (he still retains the claws on that arm). also, Rogue actually fell in love with Magneto, even though she had feelings for Gambit. This was partly because of Magneto's position as leader of the group, and partly because he was the only one known to be able to produce a bio-electric field, such that her powers could be nullified enough for love - later, they had a son, named Charles. hope that helps to explain, The Original King.
