Age of Apocalypse | Comics

The mentally unstable mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier named David Haller A.K.A. Legion time travels to the past with an intention to kill the mutant master of magnetism; Magneto once and for all. Legion reached to the past and he actually appeared in a time when Charles Xavier and Magneto were still friends. When Legion attacked to take Magneto's life, Charles helped save his friend's life and died instead of Eric.

Legion got vanished from scene and a shocked Magneto was left with the corpse of his friend, who died trying to protect him. For the first time in his life, Magneto realizes the dream that Charles had of human-mutant co-existence and starts believing in it. Following this shocking event, a new alternate timeline was created from right that point. The time-travelling mutant from the future; Bishop was aware of the change of reality as he came following Legion through time.

Age of Apocalypse | Comics

The eternal evil mutant En Sabah Nur AKA Apocalypse has always been watching over the world to conquer it when the time to strike is right and as he observes this unexpected incident, he deems it as a perfect moment to start his agenda of ruling the world by conquering it all. Alongside his wife Rogue, Magneto assembles the team of Astonishing X-Men, his rebellion mutant army against the tyrant's genocidal campaign "culling", where many were slain.

Instead of all the effort, Apocalypse has conquered entire North America and hunted down all mutants with potent telepathic or chronal abilities, as well as other super-heroes to assure the durability of his evil reign. It's a timeline that is full of chaos, abnormalities and madness all over it, as it is ruled by the one who is the malevolent mutant Apocalypse himself.

While Nightcrawler was leding the X-Calibre team to locate Destiny, he came across Callisto, Juggernaut, his mother Mystique and Thunderbird of this reality. To retrieve a piece of M'Kraan Crystal that controls over time and dimensions, Gambit and the X-Ternals travels to space. Colossus and Shadowcat are a married couple who trains a group of young mutants from the original Generation X, who call themselves Generation Next.

Blink, Morph, Sabretooth, Sunfire and Wild Child fought Apocalypse's son Holocaust under Magneto's command to stop the "cullings". Logan carries out his own missions as Weapon X, along with his lover Jean Grey for the Human High Council. Allegedly born from Cyclops' and Jean Grey's DNA, a new and powerful mutant Nate Gray AKA X-Man makes his presence known as the world's most powerful telekinetic.

X-Men | Comics

As an evolved species of Homo Sapiens, Mutants are people with uncanny abilities because of the presence of an extraordinary X-Gene they carry and are feared by humans in general. But there was a man with the dream of a peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants, who wanted to change the misconception that “Mutants are a threat for Humanity”.

So, that man, Professor Charles Xavier gathered a group of young mutants with great potentials to form a team called X-Men to stand for his vision and will try and protect the world from any disasters that comes forth. He also created a safe heaven for the gifted youngsters at his mansion in Westchester County, New York.

The group of X-Men started with Professor XCyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Iceman and Beast. Later, as replacement and a rescue unit for his original team, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Banshee, Storm, Sunfire, Colossus and Thunderbird were recruited in by Xavier.

In the later years, they fought the mutant master of magnetism; Magneto, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Juggernaut, the mutant-hunting Sentinels, an eternal mutant known as Apocalypse, the psionic being Onslaught, even the Latverian tyrant Doctor Doom and many more.

As they have took part in the events like Deadly Genesis, Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, Fall of the Mutants, Muir Island Saga, X-Tinction Agenda, Mutant Genesis, Legion Quest and DecimationXavier's X-Men stands for the symbol of good mutants who fights for the welfare of both humanity and their own kind.
