X-Men – The Hunt for Xavier | Comics

At Cape Citadel, Florida, a public controversy is forming regarding the launch of a rocket that is secretly programmed to track and terminate all mutants of the world. The location of the launch also stirs controversy as it was the place where the world known about the existence of mutants as Professor X's original X-Men were fighting against Magneto for the first time. Operating from the shadows, Xavier is seen recruiting Chaos, Crux, Grey King, Landslide, Mercury and Rapture to re-form his dream team of X-Men.

Along with Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Colossus were resting by the pool abroad the cruise ship Titania after the Excalibur team has been disbanded most recently. Calling themselves the X-Men, Xavier's new recruits attacks on board Titania. While Kurt and Peter were busy on crowd-control, these newly assembled mutants abduct Kitty Pryde and take her to their so-called savior.

X-Men – The Hunt for Xavier | Comics

The X-Men team at the X-Mansion is re grouping again after the devastating events of "Operation – Zero Tolerance" and Storm is in charge of the current team. She leads fellow teammates Marrow, Rogue and Wolverine through the tunnels of Washington, D.C., through a series of defensive machines and hidden traps. After their brief meeting with X-Factor liaison Valerie Cooper about the recent developments regarding the missile launch, the X-Men are attacked by their impostors in mid-air, ensuing a battle but Nightcrawler and Colossus came to the rescue.

Afterwards, all of them goes to rescue Shadowcat and breaks her out of there after battling it out with their fake counterparts. Kitty Pryde was brought here in the first place as Xavier explained that during the time Bastion kept him, he was infected with a computer virus that now only she can cure him off. The X-Men flies back home in Blackbird and Xavier seemingly absorbed his fake recruits to take a robotic form, now calling himself Cerebro.

They soon are summoned by Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with one of their former villain Pyro. The mutant Pyro has good nuts and is flaming out intensely in Nebraska. Not only that, he's been shouting out the name of Professor Charles Xavier all the time. Storm splits the team in two groups, sending Wolverine, Colossus and Gambit after Pyro and led her own team of Marrow, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Shadowcat for crowd control.

As Storm engage to control the situation, Marrow confronts her about Xavier's action on the infamous "Mutant Massacre" event. Since Pyro is infected with the lethal Legacy Virus that is reaching to its ultimate stage, his powers are way out of their regular scale. Even Colossus felt the heat Pyro emitted in his armor mode. The X-Men were finally successful to take him down, but they are still riddled with the question that, why Pyro was frequently calling out for Xavier, when they don't share even a short history together.

After returning to the X-Mansion, they ran a search for Xavier via Cerebro but surprisingly found that currently there are two Xavier around the world! Meanwhile, the real Professor Charles Xavier was forming a new Brotherhood of Mutants consisting Blob, Post, Mimic and Toad to oppose an oncoming foe that he fears he cannot face and win alone against.

Since this was a six-issue crossover arc, penciller Leinil Francis Yu (New Avengers, Secret Invasion) and Pasqual Ferry (Adam Strange – Planet Heist, Superman – Ending Battle) also appeared as guest artist. Late artist Mike Wieringo (Fantastic Four, The Flash) also contributed to the X-Men issue #1/2 that is also part of the book as well. The entire concept has build upon the idea of what if Professor Xavier's long-time trusty mutant-detecting program goes rogue and how will he manage to put an end to it's menace then.

Astonishing X-Men | Comics
In the wake of the eternal mutant Apocalypse’s rise in power and the untimely death of professor Charles Xavier, Magneto, now head of the X-Men in this newly altered dystopian timeline has taken charge, assembles his team of the gifted mutants, whom are now the potential threat for the ruler of the world, Apocalypse. While discussing their mission with his team, he is joined by Blink and Sunfire, who came through a portal after being chased by Apocalypse’s minion Delgado. They inform the X-Men about Apocalypse's latest culling of the humans, led by his son and one of his Horseman – Holocaust.

A loyal mutant follower of Apocalypse has brought him the news of Delgado’s failed attempt to apprehend the two X-Men members but the tyrant himself smiles about it. After bidding Gambit goodbye to his own separate mission, Rogue, along with Blink, Sabretooth, Morph and Wild Child sets off for Chicago to face the deadly horseman Holocaust. Sabretooth personally wants to settle some old score with the Horseman of Apocalypse. When they met him, Sabretooth quickly engages in a fierce battle with Holocaust and their fight creates mayhem in the battlefield. Just as they are trying to fight off the forces of Apocalypse, the tyrant himself is also seeking to meet the X-Men personally for purpose unknown.

Astonishing X-Men (Softcover)

Released from Marvel Comics in 1995, the four issue limited series of Astonishing X-Men served as one of the core stories for the then ongoing crossover event "Age of Apocalypse" that drafted the foundation for the “Onslaught Saga” afterwards. Writer Scott Lobdell and fan favourite superstar artist Joe Madureira pitched up this storyline that is set in an alternate reality of Earth-295. It was a different take on the classic Uncanny X-Men series and Joe Mad delivered one of his finest artworks as usual.

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.
