The X-Men were founded by Professor and mutant telepath Charles Xavier to create peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants prior to the 2000s with the group still expanding due to young mutants discovering their newfound abilities in the early 2000s.

Early Life[]

The X-Men were founded by a Professor known as Charles Xavier whose ability allowed him to read minds, also known as telepathy, at first only one student lived there by the name of Scott Summers followed by a second telepath by the name of Jean Grey. Although unknown when, Xavier recruited Ororo Munroe as a teacher alongside his long-time friend Logan.

Prior to forming the team however, Xavier was also a long time friend to Erik Lehnsherr but their friendship soon dissolved once both made it clear to each other they had different ideologies on how mutants and humans should co-exist with Erik believing mutants should be the dominant race and Xavier believing mutants could live alongside their human peers. Although they share different beliefs for their kind, both still retain an admirable amount of respect for each other.

Early recruitment (Season One)[]

Before the September school year, the X-Men only consisted of two students: Scott and Jean and two teachers: Ororo and Xavier. By the end of September however, the team gained new students by the names of Kitty Pryde and the orphan Kurt Wagner with the former having the ability to phase through solid matter and the latter being able to teleport, amongst faculty, Logan was recruited to teach the younger generation of mutants. Before Christmas, Ororo's nephew Evan Daniels had been recruited alongside Rogue whom of which briefly allied herself with the Brotherhood of Mutants. During their time at school however, the X-Men found themselves getting into heated arguments with their rival team with Scott holding a grudge against his classmate Duncan Matthews due to him being with Jean.

Close to the end of their first year, the students discovered that their principal known as Principal Darkhölme was also their enemy and Brotherhood leader Mystique who had been secretly allying herself with Erik during school hours recruiting other mutants unbeknownst to the X-Men. At the end of the year, Scott reunited with his long-lost brother, Alex, as well as Xavier confronting his old friend Erik.

Recruiting the New Mutants/Fighting the Sentinels (Season Two)[]

During the second school year, Xavier continued to expand his team by sending out invitations to ten teenaged mutants with only nine accepting due to Alex putting his on hold for the time being due to being unsure. The other nine included Tabitha Smith, Bobby Drake, Amara Aquilla, Jubilation Lee, Sam Guthrie, Jamie Madrox, Ray Crisp, Rahne Sinclair and Roberto De Costa with Tabitha eventually dropping out due to not liking the strict regiment she had to follow. After quitting, she went to join the Brotherhood although this was brief once she was kicked out by Mystique. Despite no longer being a member of the X-Men, Tabitha still kept in contacts with mainly Amara and Rogue.

That same year, Jean continued to date Duncan much to Scott's dismay as he was also beginning to catch feelings for his teammate. Although originally one sided due to Kitty not fully liking him back, Lance began developing a crush on the former. During that time, a young British girl named Risty Wilde began attending Bayville High to which she befriended Rogue with the latter unaware her new friend was her adoptive mother in disguise to keep tabs on her. Due to his mutation losing control, Hank McCoy had to stop working as Bayville High's Science teacher and instead was offered a chance to work at the Institute as another teacher.

For a brief amount of time, Lance joined the X-Men as an attempt to try win Kitty over but his time was only cut short due to a few members of the New Mutants attempting to get him into trouble which caused him to leave. For a short amount of time, Jean, Rogue, Kitty, Amara and Tabitha,before she left the main team, formed the Bayville Sirens but were forced to disband due to their vigilante status.

Sometime after the disbandment of the Bayville Sirens, Jean, Kurt, Evan and Kitty fell victim to Mesmero's hypnotism and were used to carry out his plan which had been foiled by the other X-Men. Later at school, the annual Sadie Hawkins dance was hosted in which the girls asked the boys. As Kurt continued to mess around with a device, he found himself in another dimension but was rescued by his team where he attended the dance with Amanda Sefton who was already aware of his mutant background.

After the dance, Kitty insisted that Hank should take some of his students out on a retreat after his behaviour the previous night caused him to lose his usually calm and well mannered temper. During the retreat, hunters ended up capturing Hank under the pretence and belief that he was the legend known as Bigfoot causing the students to go rescue their teacher. Hank was soon freed by the head scientist of the group and returned to the X-Kids. During an unknown point, Xavier began visiting a mental institution to check on a young mutant who had been locked up there by the name of Wanda Maximoff, she was soon kidnapped by Mystique unbeknownst to the Professor. On his final school year session, he had been taken and replaced by Raven.

Logan was soon kidnapped by Bolivar Trask whom showed off his Sentinel Project which was built and designed to target mutants as Trask deemed them a threat to society. The X-Men and Brotherhood were later forced to team up to fight them off as well as deal with Erik and Pietro who had teamed up with his father. The battle ended with the teams being recorded by the media and mutants becoming public knowledge.

Mutant hate/Rise of Apocalypse (Season Three)[]

With mutants now public knowledge, the X-Men and Brotherhood were targeted with most of the former group being captured by the military and sentenced to Area 51, they were all soon rescued with Mystique being left there by Scott upon demanding answers to where Xavier was. Still dealing with hate on their kind, Ororo and Hank attended a meeting in an attempt to prove to the Senate that not all mutants are evil whilst their students dealt with the recently released Juggernaut.

After rescuing Xavier, the X-Men continued living their lives under the remains of the Institute after it had been blown up by military weaponry after the mutants became mainstream. Despite hate on them still being an issue, the X-Men were still prompted to return to school despite not wanting to deal with their human peers' verbal abuse but still attended anyways in an effort to show they were still normal students even with their abilities. During their time back at school, the X-Men students were constantly mocked by their human classmates with Duncan agreeing to overlook Jean's "problem" by using her telepathy to their advantage by using it to cheat on exams causing Jean to break off their relationship and leaving with Scott. Principal Kelly soon recruited Duncan into targeting his mutant classmates which he agreed to, his efforts were soon stopped by Kitty and Rogue who caused the three to leave Scott alone who was unable to fully defend himself due to not wearing his ruby quartz glasses. In an attempt to convince the school board to continue allowing mutants to attend school, Jean attended as her team's spokesperson in which she tried to convince them in which it ended in a success. Later at the Institute, Xavier praised his students for braving their first step into their new world.

After Evan was harassed by Drew Paille and his friend, Rogue stepped in to defend him from the two bullies with the two running off not wanting to deal with their mutant classmates. In an attempt to make sure the bullies stopped targeting them, Rogue chased after them and bore witness to Gambit already confronting them. After being founded by Kitty, she insisted that Scott go with them but was stopped by Rogue with only the two leaving. As they followed after the Brotherhood, the two X-Men phase through different vehicles in an attempt to catch up to their rival group who were already on a mission to rescue Pietro. After helping out to prevent a crash, the two are confronted by Major Kyle who expressed his gratitude and praised them for their help stating that not everyone had hate for mutants. Scott then told Kitty and Rogue that they had detention that week for not attending school.

As the X-Men continued repairing the still broken Institute, Jean and Scott were easily distracted by one another as they stared at each other. Ororo helped Jean fix up a nearby fountain with Logan helping Scott fix a satellite on the roof, Logan watched as Scott became distracted and threatened to tell Jean that the former had feelings for the latter with Scott promising he would do it by himself. Distracted by a phone call from "Alex", Scott discovered his brother was apparently stranded in Mexico and unable to reach his foster parents causing Scott to leave but soon knocked unconscious by Raven who had assumed his brother's form as a way to trick him as she was out for revenge after being locked away, Scott was then s left in the desert to fend for himself without his ruby quartz glasses. His perilous incident was noted by Jean who warned Xavier whom told his student that Scott is not in psychic range but that what she just experienced was just a nightmare. The next day, Jean found that it was a trap as Alex never called his brother. In Mexico, Mystique morphed into Jean and found Scott who made his way into an abandoned building but was soon found out when Scott realised the person in front of him was not Jean as she claimed Cerebro pinpointed his location, a mechanic that it is unable to do, the real Jean soon appeared and rescued Scott with the two returning to the Blackbird jet as they cuddled, an affection which Logan, Ororo and Xavier are pleased to see.

Kitty gained her drivers permit and attempted to find one of her friends in hopes one of them is able to take her driving. Even though mutant hate is a still a huge deal within the school, one student, Andy Black, expressed his admiration of mutantkind and wished he had powers too after insisting to the bullies teasing him that Evan was a friend of his. Back at the Institute, Xavier opted to give a dangerous mission to Scott and Jean who turned it down after Logan offered to take it instead claiming it was something he would be interested in but claimed the other two would owe him, the mission in question was to keep an eye on Kitty whom wanted to take the X-Van out so she could test drive. Kitty then phased through the Institute's gate much to Logan's warning and dismay. After returning to the Institute, Evan attempted to draw back his advancing spikes that were becoming hard to control, when Ororo tried talking to her nephew, he only dismissed her and instead went to his room to deal with his problem. Once the van returned, Logan left Kitty, furious, after dealing with the latter's attempt at driving as the van returned with objects still phased through . After coming into further contact with the Pow-R 8 drink, Evan's mutation advanced more and more as he was taken to the sewers by the Morlocks who tried toheal him the best they can. Above surface, Hank discovered the drink is poisonous to mutants to the point the liquid cannot come into skin contact with any of them. After a fight broke out at the production factory, Evan, much to his aunt's dismay, left his team to live in the sewers with the Morlocks now that his mutation became unstable to the point he would not fit in with other people much like he did before on the surface. Xavier was soon picked up but instead of Logan in the seat, Kitty was the one driving yet assured her Professor that Logan gave her permission much to Xavier's worry.

Kurt agreed to meet Amanda's parents but hesitated as he admitted that his image inducer had been acting up lately which Amanda showed no worry for as she wished for her parents to see Kurt's true form. During dinner with the Sefton's, they became the target of Toad who broke into the house to try and steal Kurt's inducer as he saw it as a method to get closer to Wanda. After it was stolen, Kurt left the house to track it down but ended up teaming up its thief after the two discovered that Wanda had been captured. After their successful joint rescue mission, Kurt returned back home saddened by the fact that the Sefton's would not appreciate their daughter being with a mutant.

After a long while of struggling with her internal feelings, Rogue watched as Scott started to date Jean but she is comforted by Risty who took her to a concert which ended with Rogue having skin to skin contact with most of the attendees which included Risty whose true form revealed herself to Rogue for the first time. As the day got worse, the personalities of those that the latter previously came into contact with fought for control. Scared and unaware, Rogue began shifting into that of the people she had touched and fought the X-Men but was soon stopped by Xavier telepathically who forced the personalities out. Rogue went unconscious and was taken back to the Institute's infirmary where Logan remained by her side whilst she recovered.

The X-Men, who were in the middle of playing a game of mutant ball with the New Mutants, were greeted by Angel who sought the help of Xavier after an important artifact was stolen from him. Inside the infirmary, Kurt brought his adoptive sister some dinner and that Logan and Storm were out on a search for Mystique with the others over in London but he was told to go away with Rogue claiming they are not siblings much to Kurt's protests but he still promised to be their for Rogue. In London, the X-Men plus Bobby went inside the museum to confront Erik and his crew. Outside, the now released guardian arachnid was soon destroyed by Erik who believed it to be a threat but was told by Xavier that it was a guardian that was created in order to prevent Apocalypse from escaping his tomb.

Wanting a day off from their heroic duties, the X-Men and the younger mutants went out on a cruise with Amara feeling unwell due to being seasick and being away from land. During the cruise, Kitty and Kurt teased Jean and Scott about their relationship. As Amara continued to be on the ship, she became further weakened and was able to tell Tabitha who finds her much weakened that she will not be able to survive much longer without land. As the team eventually arrived at an island, Amara accidentally activated a volcano but kept it from overflowing over by using her powers and saving the town. As the kids returned to the town, they are greeted by the grateful townsfolk who expressed their gratitude. As Storm appears, she also expressed she was not pleased that the kids left the cruise ship but did not berate them as she knew why they left.

Logan held one of his training exercises much to the dismay of his students but handed over his class to Hank once two S.H.I.E.L.D helicopters appeared looking for him. During the exercise, Xavier visited Rogue who had fully recovered from her power overload and that she was able to return to her teammates though she insisted she was not ready. Back outside, Logan was joined by Xavier and the two are told by Nick that there was a break-in at one of their headquarters and that the culprit left trails of Adamantium with traces of Logan's DNA, an action Logan was unable to give an answer to as he had been at the Institute. Nick then took him back to S.H.I.E.L.D where he was introduced to a woman named Deborah Risman who revealed her former allegiance to HYDRA but defected, only calling Logan by his experimental name of Weapon X, something that caused Logan to grow aggressive at. The culprit turned out to be a clone of Logan named X-23 who was made in response to the Weapon X program who was created using Logan's DNA and was the twenty-third subject in a long line of failed experiments but only survived due to being given the healing factor. Unbeknownst to them, the X-Men were sent unconscious by X-23's explosives. Later that night, Logan confronted his clone and fought her off trying to get through to her knowing that she was just a young child with a troubled upbringing and rough past.

Under the control of Mesmero, Rogue absorbed the abilities of her X-Men allies, the Brotherhood and the Acolytes which forced the three factions to team up in an attempt to stop her from freeing Apocalypse. The next morning, the students ended up running late for school as they attempted to get ready and eat breakfast with Rogue not feeling like eating. At school, Jean and Scott entered but did not witness Rogue who turned away and entered a black limousine that drove off when she got inside. Inside the school, the two spoke about how it was their last day with Jean lamenting how sad she was but Scott had the opposite reaction. As they talked , their conversation was interrupted by Principal Kelly who demanded from the two that no mutant jeopardise the graduation ceremony with Scott assuring him that he will leave the moment he gets his diploma. At the Brotherhood house, Rogue snuck her way inside and absorbed the powers of those there and left. At the Institute, Storm takes a note of the weather where she promised Jean that it will not rain during the graduation, something which Jean is thankful for. As she continued her talk with her teachers, Jean admitted she has been accepted into many universities and hopes to go into either medicine or genetics, something that Xavier approved of. When the limousine parked outside of an abandoned warehouse, Rogue and Mystique found a way inside where the former absorbed the powers of the Acolytes, she is confronted by Erik but she easily took him down and absorbed his magnetism. At graduation, Jean left Scott to go unite with her family as Kelly made his speech but stopped as the ceremony is halted by the arrival of Erik, the Brotherhood and the Acolytes who appeared to tell the X-Men that Rogue as gone rogue and absorbed their powers, when Xavier asked to prove it, his old friend claimed the fight had been recorded by the security systems. Rogue then used telekinesis against her former allies and enemies by throwing chairs towards them. Realising the only way to prevent Apocalypse from escaping, the three teams hesitantly teamed up and headed out to the Great Sphinx, Kitty phased through and descended below as she waited for her allies to join her beneath the Sphinx.

The X-Men and their allies attempted to manoeuvre throughout the temple knowing that it was a trap. The statues came to life and the teams were forced to fight them off whilst also trying to prevent the return of the first powerful mutant, despite their best efforts, the statues proved to be the more formidable force and the group tried to find a safer area. The battle caused Jean to be rendered unconscious with Storm trying to get her to wake up. In another part of the tomb, Colossus almost crashed into Kitty after he smashed through a wall with the latter prompting him to take it easy next time, Kurt soon joined them. In the Himalayas, Logan, Gambit and Sabretooth continued their search for Rogue, as they discovered the planes, the three agreed that the area was recently visited by Rogue and Mystique with Gambit prompting the two to follow the tracks instead of sniffing around. Logan soon revealed to Hank that they found the two in Tibet. In the tomb, the group continued to fight off their adversaries causing them to further team-up by doubling their efforts to effectively deal with their enemy. Inside the tomb of Apocalypse, Mesmero admitted to Mystique that she was the third key, causing her to be startled as she was under the impression that only Rogue was needed but Mesmero told her she was just as important to the plan as her adoptive daughter was. Inside, Rogue went down to the Eye of Ages and activated it which released Apocalypse, he awakened and absorbed the powers Rogue had originally stolen causing her to fall unconscious as Logan arrived too late to prevent it from happening.

Facing Apocalypse/Saving the world[]

After the release of the most dangerous mutant, the X-Men are given permission from the government to go and investigate the new phenomenon within the Mayan jungle. Upon arriving, the team discovered that it is connected to Apocalypse but is unable to be penetrated due to it being too strong even for their powers. At the Institute, Logan assured Rogue that the previous event was not her fault but the latter instead shrugged it off, the only incident she was angered about was the fact Kurt later on brought the statue of their adoptive mother back to the Institute after it was abused by the Brotherhood for their amusement. After talking to Agatha Harkness, the latter tried talking to Rogue into using her powers to free Mystique but she refused, her temper took over which caused her to shove the statue off the cliff much to the dismay of Kurt who was horrified to what he had just witnessed.

Not liking the Brotherhood being called heroes, the X-Men tried confronting them at the Bayville Zoo but their powers were sent haywire due to Wanda's hex with Kitty being trapped halfway through the crocodile enclosure's glass, Jean losing control over her telepathy and Kurt being unable to control where he teleported. Kitty and Kurt attempted to stop a runaway train with Kitty phasing the one the two were already on but became unstable and the two trains crashed though luckily with no injuries. Their actions caused them to be arrested but were freed once their rivals created an incident that caused the police to free their mutant prisoners. The X-Men soon stopped their rival team with the latter group being forced to stop their heroic deeds.

At a café, Ray. Bobby and Jamie, the three expressed their dislike for having a class with Jean and Scott. The two discovered the class already up to no good. After being kidnapped by Omega Red and Gauntlet, Logan ended up teaming up with X-23 with the latter on her own mission to take down Viper and the organisation itself. Inside the plane, Logan escaped but dropped out of the helicopter yet landed below in the forest where upon trying to hide, his location was discovered by Omega Red who mocked him further by calling him Weapon X. Once united with his clone, she told him that both S.H.I.E.L.D and HYDRA would only continue their hunt for her while she lived . At the Institute, Jean and Scott continued to try and calm their students down but the mayhem only ensued when the younger mutants used their powers knowing it annoyed their teachers with Amara burning handouts, Jamie multiplying himself and Bobby no longer being in the room as he replaced himself with an ice sculpture replica. In the forest knowing they were being pursued, Logan and X-23 continued to move through the forest in an attempt to escape but are soon captured by Gauntlet who has them escorted back to a HYDRA base. Viper then told Logan about the plan to brainwash his clone back to being a cold blooded assassin that she was originally planned to be raised as but he soon escaped and caught up with X-23 who admitted getting into the base was her plan all that time. After the the base was destroyed and he lost track of X-23, Logan informed Nick that his clone did not survive although the former himself knew she lived through the crash.

Xavier, Storm, Jean and Scott left for Scotland to rescue David Haller, also known as Xavier's son only for them to discover he is a mutant just like his father but someone who suffers from multiple personality disorder (now commonly known as Dissociative Identity Disorder/DID). The group are targeted by the more dominant personality of the three, Lucas, who wanted revenge on Xavier. Lucas proved to be the stronger telepath between him and Jean when he was confronted by her. When attempting to save his son, Xavier tried to pull the personalities apart to make David the one in charge but failed to do so as he grabbed Lucas' hand and instead placed him as the dominant personality once again. At the Institute, Storm assured the Professor he will still be there for his son just as he has always been there for the X-Men.

Despite his advanced mutation, Evan returned to the surface unafraid of the hate towards mutants began to do vigilante acts as way to protect his Morlocks teammates but soon became a target to Duncan who continued to relish in his idea that mutants were an issue within society and must be stopped. In an effort to protect Lucid, Evan appeared in the alley and defended the young Morlock from the bullies as he caused them to leave the scene with ease due to his spikes. Upon his return to the sewers, he toldCallisto that he does not like their current situation and instead insisted on fighting through the hate on their kind. Hank and Xavier continued their research on the domes and discovered China's military had plans to fire at the energy around it, the two are against it due to the results potentially being catastrophic. After leaving the library and being hassled by Duncan and his friends, Evan stepped in to defend Sam and Amara from the bullies with the ending result being that Duncan's car was destroyed in the aftermath. Xavier later insisted that Logan should go talk to Evan even though Storm wanted to do so. Despite his efforts, Logan, unable to get through to his former student returned to the Institute as Evan told him he will lead the Morlocks. Jean and Scott attempted to deal with Duncan and his crew but an outburst from Dorian caused their powers to be nullified. As Evan is confronted by Dorian's mother, he says that her son never had a chance at a normal life due to his mutant background, he is then asked by his aunt to return to his former team but refused on the grounds that he has to protect the Morlocks.

After trying to apologise to Kurt for what she did, Rogue came across Gambit who kidnapped her and took her to New Orleans where the former claimed that the trip is meant to serve as a way to make Rogue forget about pushing the statue of Mystique off the cliff. At school, Kurt alerted his teammates that his adoptive sister has gone missing and Logan discovered Gambit's scent at the scene and learns that he is behind the disappearance. Upon finding the Acolytes' base, Logan found Pyro watching a tape of Erik being taken out after he had tried to attack the energy sphere surrounding the pyramid with the video on repeat, the two fought but stopped when Pyro admitted the Acolytes have disbanded causing Logan to leave. In the train cart, Gambit tried to assure Rogue he is telling the truth by offering her the chance to absorb his memories but she refused under the pretence that she does not want him in her head, they are soon tracked by Xavier who deduced they are heading south and sent his team to go find and rescue Rogue. At Mardi Gras, the X-Men failed to reach Rogue and Gambit in time as the two head over to get a boat after Rogue offered her help to rescue Gambit's adoptive father, the two then bonded over what they have in common, mainly adoptive parents who only showed interest in them due to their mutant abilities being useful to them. Upon coming into accidental contact with Gambit, Rogue discovered she was being used by him and goes to leave but returns to help the two escape the house once they are pursued by The Rippers. After escaping, Rogue reunited with her team as Gambit gave her one of his cards, Kitty questioned if she was okay and Rogue confirmed she was fine as the group left for home.

During a dirt bike race, Logan urged his students to stay together due to the rocky and unstable paths they may have to drive on. As Kitty diverted from her partner, Rogue, she fell down and off a cliff only able to save herself by phasing herself through a rock where she landed on the ground and finds herself face to face with another mutant who introduced herself as Danielle Moonstar. Logan eventually stopped the race between him and Sam upon discovering the smoke from Kitty's bike accident and went to see what is wrong, he then chastised Rogue for not staying with her assigned partner. At the Institute, Kitty eavesdropped on the conversation between her teachers which involved if Danielle would be allowed to start living at the Institute with her possible future teammates. As Kitty discovered Xavier gave the all clear, she started making room in her bedroom so that Danielle has a space to sleep. During a training exercise with Jean, Kurt and Kitty, Danielle ended up working with Roberto, Sam and Bobby whose goal was to reach the flag opposite the river but have to deal with unforeseen yet unpredictable obstacles caused by their tutors who planned to intervene to try and get their students to adapt to the situation which overwhelmed Danielle whose powers started affecting her teachers, Logan, Storm and Xavier who each experienced their own fear. That same night, Xavier mentally awakened Kitty and asked her what was happening but was told by Kitty that their new student had been asleep during the incident. That morning, Danielle is missing yet no-one at breakfast ever recalls there being a student of that name with the Professor failing to convince Kitty that she had been asleep ever since the biking accident. Kitty finds herself being haunted by apparitions of the supposed non existent student but decided to still try and locate her knowing that the encounter was real, she enlisted Kurt to help her and the two left to Dark Hallow and found Danielle's grandfather who claimed his granddaughter went missing around two years prior and was believed to have died. Now further convinced that the girl exists, Kitty and Kurt head to where the former crashed where she then went underground and discovered an unconscious yet still alive Danielle who kept herself in a stasis during the time she went missing, Needing to rescue Kitty, Logan and his students head to the crash site and saved the former alongside Danielle who was sent back to the Institute to rest.

Xavier, wanting to communicate with Apocalypse rather than engage in a fight, left to leave for Egypt taking Storm and Cerebro with him much to Jean's dismay as she believed the outcome to be an upsetting one but is assured by her Professor that he will be fine. Upon confronting the mutant, the latter informed the two about his plan to awaken the dormant X-Gene within many mutants, an issue Xavier does not like as the results would be catastrophic and would kill many. His retaliation caused both him and Ororo to be sent away just like Erik was, an event witnessed by the X-Men back at the Institute. Knowing they are dealing with a more dangerous threat, Nick arrived to assist the team and brought in the Sentinels which proved to be futile. The X-Men soon discovered their missing teachers plus Erik and Mystique were converted into the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse sent to defend the pyramids which were targeted by the four groups with Rogue being sent away on a "special mission".

In order to prevent the destruction of the world, the X-Men allied themselves with their former enemies plus S.H.I.E.L.D. In Egypt, China, Mexico and at the Sphinx, the groups reluctantly fought off the Horseman not wanting to harm them as they were still the people they knew before being turned. Despite their grouped efforts, all teams struggled to fight against their former allies but tried to gain the upper-hand with the Mexico team having to deal with a Sentinel that was going after them as well as trying to fight off Erik. Eventually, Rogue returned to her team and assured Dorian that he will be okay and the world will be safe thanks to his help as she then absorbed his powers and activated it near Apocalypse causing every power in its radius to be nullified and returned the Four Horsemen to revert back to normal. Back at the Institute, Xavier expressed his gratitude for his team as he tells them about a future he saw.
