I think Professor X girlfriend is(was) an alien Empress, Magneto's children were Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch but I think he is actually younger than them now. Back in the late 80's or early 90's there was a series of books called the Marvel universe, they were like encyclopedias of the marvel characters. I don't follow comic much anymore so I don't know if there are newer versions or not, but they are great for learning about a characters history. They were in alphabetical order and they had separate books for characters who had died. That is a wonderful source of information for Marvel comics, heck that's where I first found out about Bessy the Hellcow (yes they actually had a vampire cow).This might be where they have went with the Marvel Universe bit, it's called the Marvel Encyclopedia: <a href="http://www.marvel.com/comics/trades/detail.htm?id=228" target="_blank">http://www.marvel.com/comics/trades/detail.htm?id=228</a></blockquote>
