Storm assembled an all-new, extraordinary team of X-Men where she wants Old Man Logan and young Jean Grey to join.
When
Thanos came to Earth last time, he came looking for his illegitimate son and had a clash with
Black Bolt, the King of
Inhumans. The latter detonated a Terrigen Bomb that not only destroyed New Attilan but also left Terrigen Mist in the atmosphere. However, it drastically increased their number while also severely affecting the lives of mutants.
Following this event,
X-Men leader
Cyclops have gone totally nuts and tried to start a mutant "
Revolution" for dominance with a few of his radical followers who had the same belief. This irrational act eventually went horribly wrong for everyone and years of working to improve their public image by
Professor X is completely ruined within moments.
Now, veteran
X-Men member
Storm finds herself with a burden on her shoulder to save her own race without the guidance of her mentor and former leader, Professor Charles Xavier. With the worldwide spread of Terrigenesis, humans and mutants are both dying from its exposure that causes what they are calling “M-Pox” or "X-Pox" these days.
As a result, the age old fear of mutants among humans has re-emerged once again. Meanwhile, a time-displaced
Jean Grey from
Earth-TRN240 was trying to find a plain and simple life on Earth-616 reality, gets approached by
Storm to join their team, which she declined given her history of ending up dying every time as
Marvel Girl no matter what.

When
Icaman tries to talk to Jean to change her mind and failed, Ororo offered her to take a look into her head using the latter's psychic powers. She realizes that the outbreak of M-Pox caused by Terrigen Mist is not only killing their kind but also sterilizing them from ever to grow in numbers again and it can mean the end of the mutant race.
Mutant sorceress Illyana Rasputin aka
Magik took it upon herself to scout throughout the whole world seeking for any mutant refugees in dire situation to save them from angry human mobs triggered by current mutant hysteria and brings them all back to X-Haven, the current headquarters of
X-Men situated in magical dimension of Limbo.
Illyana goes to New Delhi, India, to save a family and their young mutant girl affected by Terrigen Mist from a tough crowd. She eventually rescued the family before taking a hit and brought them back to Jean Grey School For Higher Learning for safety.
Magik then heads straight to Lake Baikal, Russia, looking for her elder brother and former
X-Man member
Colossus to recruit him back to their fold during this crisis while their old pal
Nightcrawler was being chased by a newly reformed group of
Marauders.
Storm and
Iceman were astounded to discover
Old Man Logan is walking among them when he mistakenly attacked Cerebra, recently restructured within a
Sentinel body by thinking it as an enemy. The old friends catch up quick about their current state of affairs before the young Jean finally meets with Logan to convince and bring him back to action.
Colossus and
Magik investigate the disappearance of
Nightcrawler only to run into the new team of
Marauders and then attacked by someone Sinister. As soon as Illyana Rasputin fell, the magical defenses that she placed to defend X-Haven from Demons of Limbo attacking the sanctuary, collapses and the
X-Men got a huge mess on their hand to clean.
