When an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, the beaten heroes walk away from it all. But then they are given a rare glimpse into the future, and see the world in utter ruin, ruled by giant destructive robots; a world that spiralled out of control because the X-Men had given up. Wolverine, the most legendary of all X-Men, reunites the broken heroes to prevent the world's destruction.

Emma Frost shows up in the newly rebuilt X Mansion wanting to help the X-Men find Professor X. Wolverine is untrusting of her but desperate to find Xavier, and has Forge finish rebuilding Cerebro so that she can use her telepathic powers to locate the professor.

It does not take long before Emma has him placed on the Island of Genosha, home of the evil Magneto. The team heads out to Genosha immediately to bring Professor X home. Scott hears the news and although they have not found his precious Jean Grey, he feels there is finally some hope with a telepath on the team, and joins the crusade.

Magneto finds the X Men in his palace and, after a small battle of egos, he surprisingly allows them to bring the comatose Xavier back with them. Professor X is soon safe and sound in the Cerebral Chamber. He contacts Wolverine telepathically from the future, describing a world of nightmare. His apocalyptic prophesy proclaims that he must reunite the X-Men to fight against the impending war and that it is Wolverine who will be their leader. Show less
