The world today is no better now than it was 30 years ago when mutants started to become a worldwide occurrence; a war raged across the world, engulfing it in a fire of hatred; Homo – Sapien verses Homo - Superior verse Homo - Superior; many people died in that war on all sides among the fallen where Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr and many of those that followed them they died fighting hatred and each other.
When Xavier was assassinated, many people believed that his dream would die with him… They were wrong; remnants of the x men, lead by Scott Summers, kept this dream alive; they kept the school open, training any mutants that believed as they did, offering sanctuary and hope to those with none; while the surface of the property in Westchester continued to be a School, the sub basement continued to be the staging area of the X – men. For years, Cyclops continued to lead them as the only line of defence against those men, both mutant and human, that wanted to wage war on mankind.
However this was not to last as Scott Summers was tragically killed doing that which he did best, defending those who cannot defend themselves. Once again the future of the school hung in the balance and looked once more as if Xavier’s dream would die. Someone unexpected came to the rescue and stepped up to the plate, Kitty Pryde held years of experience working with the X – Men and having grown up in Xavier’s she knew of the challenges faced by students and staff alike. Kitty refused to sit by and let Xavier’s dream die, she is now headmistress of the school and the world’s leading activist for mutant – human relations.
Times are once more turning dark and while Homo sapiens have become more accepting of mutants, there are still those that want to see them rounded up and put to death. These men and women continued to commit hate crimes against mutants, who only want to live in peace with their fellow man. The United States has denounced these people as criminals but few are ever-arrested much less serve time in jail for it. The government has gone to great lengths to make amends for its past abuse of mutants, even declassifying the top-secret records of programs that dealt with the experimentation of mutants, specifically the Weapon X and Weapon Prime programmes.
The X men are still around but so is the Brotherhood and various other groups of mutants who wish to see mutants as the ruling race and not simply co existing with Homo - Sapiens. For the passed 6 years they have dropped out of sight but they are very much still alive and well.
A new war is brewing and it is time to choose a side once more.
