Plot
Prior to the publication of Civil War: X-Men, the events of
Sentinel Squad O*N*E*. In Civil War #3, the X-Men declare official neutrality in the superhero
civil war.
In X-Men: Civil War #1,
Sabra and Micromax to find the escapees. The surviving original X-Men
decide to sneak off the grounds to find the escapees before Bishop can arrest them.
In issue #2, General Lazer, head of the O*N*E, discovers
Johnny Dee force Cyclops
into releasing the full power of his optic blasts on Bishop, but Bishop redirects the energy upwards towards the sky.
In issue #3,
Val Cooper
stumbles onto Lazer and Johnny Dee's machinations, and she becomes head of the O*N*E and calls a cease fire. However, Lazer has already initiated a self-destruct sequence in the bunker the 198 are in.
In issue #4, the X-Men team up with Bishop,
Johnny Dee
is locked away in prison. The 198 walk away intact and separate while Bishop leaves the X-Men. He is later seen talking to Val, who tells him the O*N*E were given too much discretionary power at the expense of mutant civil rights and that the President has appointed an oversight committee to make changes. The first being that the Xavier Institute becomes a community for mutants, with residency being voluntary and open to all who wish to reside there, and that the O*N*E would no longer be authorized to restrict their comings and goings. The second change is that the Sentinels would remain on the grounds, but for protection only and that mutants would be free to come and go as they pleased. Val then offers Bishop a job with the O*N*E, which he accepts.
