Operation – Zero Tolerance | Comics

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.

Fatal Attractions | Comics

Fabian Cortez, the new leader of The Acolytes, attacks on the headquarters of “Project: Wideawake”, a recently developed sentinel program funded by the government at Camp Hayden. The government sponsored mutant super team of X-Factor intervenes and engages The Acolytes there. During the battle between these two teams, Quicksilver is approached by Cortez to be the new leader of the Acolytes as Magneto's rightful heir, to which Quicksilver declines.

Meanwhile, Exodus shows up to Cable's X-Force team to offer them all sanctuary from a mysterious greater power. Exodus in fact came to offer them shelter to Avalon, which was Cable's former headquarter Graymalkin in the past and the mysterious person with greater power is none other than a previously thought-dead Magneto himself, who has taken over the base and upgraded it with Shi'ar technology. Before teleporting with X-Force from Avalon, Cable nearly escapes death from the hands of the mutant master of magnetism.

Along with his team of Acolytes, Magneto came to meet the X-Men at Westchester during the funeral for Colossus' sister Illyana Rasputin, who died of the Legacy Virus that has crippled the entire mutant community for some time. After a brief fight between the X-Men and the Acolytes, Colossus switched his alliance with Magneto as he has lost his faith in the ways of Xavier and the X-Men.

Professor Xavier led the team of Jean Grey, Gambit, Quicksilver, Rogue and Wolverine to Avalon after Magneto unleashes an electromagnetic pulse causing havoc to Earth's entire electrical system, as an answer to "Magneto Protocols" by UN. After getting stabbed by Wolverine in battle, an enraged Magneto forcibly tore out the Adamantium out of Wolverine's body that led him to a near death experience as he was unable to heal himself from major injuries.

This sudden act of violence made Professor X snap and he mind-wipes Magneto in retaliation, leaving him into a vegetative state on Avalon. The X-Men took Wolverine back to their base for treatment as he was being unable to regenerate himself and Colossus left behind to look after Magneto.

Bishop | Comics

In a dystopian future timeline of 21st century, where the mutant populations are hunted down by Sentinels, Lucas Bishop was born with his twin sister Shard in a relocation camp of Brooklyn. Just like the other mutants of that era, both of them were marked with an “M” tattoo on their right eye. Professor Charles Xavier and his team of X-Men were slain long ago and though fractions of humans allied themselves with the mutants, they still refused to live alongside the mutant-kind.

In memory of Xavier’s dream of a mutant/human peaceful co-existence, Xavier Security Enforcers are formed and at a young age Bishop and Shard were recruited in XSE to fight crime while pursuing a man named Trevor Fitzroy, a mutant criminal with the power of absorbing energy.

Bishop then traveled back to past in the X-Men’s timeline where unable to return to his time, he accepted the honorable offer to join the ranks of X-Men. For a brief time, he suspected fellow X-Man Gambit as the fabled traitor of his timeline who caused this apocalyptic future upon them but eventually learned that it was Xavier himself all along.

During Onslaught’s rampage, Bishop saved the lives of his teammates by absorbing a massive energy surge. Later, he aided the Shi’ar Deathbird and also helped The Avengers on various occasion. When the rumor of a baby messiah was spread after “M-Day”, he took it upon himself to find the baby and eradicate it but he picks a fight with Cable and eventually ends up shooting Professor Xavier in the face (X-Men – Messiah CompleX).
