The X-Men are gone.
Once, they had a Dream. Once, they were Heroes. Then, seven years ago, a trap claimed the lives of the St. Croix sisters and only Madrox's heroic sacrifice allowed the rest of the team to escape alive. Scarred and broken, the survivors scattered to the four winds, nursing wounds both within and without.
Yesterday, on the eve of the X-Men's rebirth, tragedy claimed even those remnants. Wolverine, Beast, Angel -- even the Professor himself -- vanished in a soundless explosion that left no wreckage ... and no bodies.
Today, a young man named Scott Summers fights not only to preserve the mutant haven known as the Xavier Institute but to bring the X-Men back into the world and realize the Dream. Against him stands not just the mutant supremacist Magnus Lehnsherr and his Brotherhood of Mutants but also the deadly mutant-hunter known as Nemesis. With him stands an oddball mix of students, rebels, refugees, and veterans.
Can they bring peace to a world that fears and hates them?
