Genres: superhero

Character(s): The X-Men [Cyclops [Scott Summers]; Beast [Hank McCoy]; Wolverine [Logan]; Storm [Ororo Iqadi T'Challa] (rejoins the X-Men); Emma Frost [White Queen]; Armor [Hisako Ichiki]]

Synopsis: The X-Men are settling into their new as-yet-unnamed headquarters in San Francisco. Storm arrives, explaining that she convinced T'Challa to let her "scope out" the team's current methods as he is helping fund them through Mutantes Sans Frontieres because she was bored in Wakanda. She arrives in time to join the team, in new street clothes designed to help them avoid anti-superhero sentiment, as they answer a call from the San Francisco police to help with a mysterious burning body. The unusual genetic code of the corpse and the notebooks found with it that describe the next destination of its killer send the team, now switched to more traditional superhero gear, to Chaparanga Beach, the graveyard of starships.

Agent X-13's Report on the Emergency Annexation of Earth-616

Story on Interior Page(s)

Subject Matter

Genres: superhero

Character(s): X-Men [Cyclops [Scott Summers]; Wolverine [Logan]; Storm [Ororo Iqadi T'Challa]; Emma Frost [White Queen]; Armor [Hisako Ichiki]] (alternate timeline); Agent X-13; Magneto (alternate earth)

Synopsis: This appears to be an account of how Agent X-13's mission on Earth-616 would have gone had he targeted and killed Cyclops first instead of targeting Wolverine. The X-Men rapidly fall apart, and Agent X-13's homeworld sends in "Deathlok-class Security units", which look like Sentinels. One of them had what appeared to be Magneto wired into its chest. They quickly subdued the entire world amidst a staggering loss of life, including the use of nuclear weapons. But Agent X-13 considers none of that to be his problem because he's just a field agent.
