After most of
The Avengers,
Fantastic Four,
The Incredible Hulk and
Doctor Doom has seemingly sacrificed themselves to destroy the essence of the psionic being
Onslaught, only the mutant superheroes were left on Earth. Bunch of non-mutant superheroes including
Daredevil,
Doctor Strange and
Spider-Man were left behind along with the team of
X-Men. A mutant-hating human and also a candidate for Presidential election, Graydon Creed got killed and his unknown killer is suspected to be a mutant.
The government has given the complete authority to Bastion; an upgrade to the advanced sentinel Nimrod, to handle the situation and he came up with a plan along with his newly assembled troops of Prime Sentinels to capture all mutants, dubbing it as "Operation: Zero Tolerance". Many of the
X-Men are captured and the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning is seized by him. This gave Bastion all access to the information about every known mutant out there.

Because of his role on
Onslaught Saga,
Professor X voluntarily turns himself to the authority and Bastion confronts him personally before locking him away. The young mutant Jubilee of team
Generation X is soon captured along with her team and taken to the custody of Bastion where she is extensively tortured on a mental level by the Sentinel-Hybrid to discover the secrets about her fellow mutants.
X-Men member
Cyclops,
Jean Grey,
Cannonball,
Storm and
Wolverine are also captured by the program. In the mean time, the time-travelling mutant from the future,
Cable sneaks into the X-Mansion to rescue his ally Caliban and erase Xavier's files containing all information on other mutants to save them from Bastion.
Iceman has formed a small rebellion team against the Operation and Bastion himself.
The mutant Marrow also joins in his cause to avenge her mentor and the Morlock leader, Callisto. As they were preparing to lead an attack on Bastion, the rebellion faced a sudden ambush by a group of Prime Sentinels.
Iceman eventually gets his chance to go up against Bastion and was seemingly besting him but then the Sentinel tuned the tides of their fight.
