Fictional team biography

Volume 1

The team is seen living a fairly peaceful life in the Battlezone called

Senator Kelly. He has little difficulty since most of the villains were wiped out in a previous war and the remaining villains were sent to "Bureau of Super-Powers" run by Cassandra Nova for rehabilitation. After a rogue Sentinel attack the X-Men are invited to the facility to learn about process.[9] The X-Men are then put into the virtual training pods, but were really sent into the Astral Plane, since Nova was actually possessed by the Shadow King. The team is saved by Jubilee, who Nova didn't consider a big enough threat and didn't put into the VR pod and by the X-Force, who assault the facility. Xavier is able to repel the Shadow King and the X-Men save Baron Kelly, but a mega-Sentinel is released against the X-Mansion.[10] The X-Men and X-Force combine to defeat the machine before it causes too much damage.[11]

Volume 2

The World is a Vampire

The Upstarts, a group of evil mutants, are playing a game to find who can hurt the X-Men the most. The

Dead Girl, immune to the vampires, uses Cerebro to remove the virus. The virus's avatar asks her is she wants to delete the vampiric DNA and convert the vampires into humans. She is pressured to decide and deletes the vampiric DNA. In the end she is happy to have saved her friends, but is racked with irony that humans wish to delete mutant DNA and convert them to humans.[14]

During these events, Scott and Jean are on vacation in

Lilapalooza

Apocalypse and a group of mutant villains appear suggesting a truce. Cable and the X-Force appear and fight, but Professor X realizes that Apocalypse's intentions are semi-altruistic. He plans to convert all humans into mutants and take over the world, so he can defeat the Celestial Exodus.[18] Cyclops and Jean Grey return from the future with the Darkhold. Professor X decides to use it to convert every human into a mutant only if humankind agrees.[19]

In the

denouement humankind overwhelmingly agrees to help and Professor X uses the Darkhold to convert everyone into a mutant. Now with every person on Earth super-powered, they all press the attacks against the evil Celestial.[20]
