Panacea is based on a hypothetical world after the movie X-men 3: The Last Stand.
When we last left this world, the Mutant Rights Bill was going full-steam ahead and Worthington Labs, producer of the "Mutant Cure", had just been destroyed. But despite this superficial peace, all is not well in the world.
Although Worthington Labs and the entire facility at Alcatraz were destroyed, the "mutant cure" is still in existence in the United States and the rest of the world, having been mass-produced and stored in facilities in all civilized countries. New "vaccines" cannot be developed, however, without the boy, Leech, and Mr. Worthington is not inclined to try.
Others are.
In response to the cure, and his newfound Homo-sapienism, Magneto has gone to work trying to reinvent his original mutant-making machine. He has acquired some friendly entrepreneurs interested in marketing "super powers" to the public, guessing that rather than making the mutants into humans like them, most people would rather become a mutant themselves. It is jealousy that they propose is the problem, and each of them has signed up for the first dose of super powers once the method has been proven safe and effective.
Pyro, who has taken it upon himself as the last remaining original member of the group to lead it, has pieced Magneto’s old Brotherhood back together. The group has retreated to its hideout at Genosha, and is currently sending out recruiters to rebuild its ranks. They are not content with the Mutant Rights Bill, and still wish to see Homo sapiens destroyed, and Homo superiors in power.
Storm has become head master at Xavier's School for Talented Youngsters, which is now openly mutant. After the attack by Striker's men, the school had an army's worth of safety equipment installed around the perimeter and grounds, and they feel safe against any impending attacks by naturals who are still feeling threatened by the mutant phenomenon. While the transition without Xavier has been long and lonely, Storm is determined to keep the school open and safe for other young mutants like she once was. The most promising mutants are trained to become X-men someday.
And that leaves only the "cured," who are trying to find their place in a world that was once openly hostile and now seems a little too normal and boring.
