New Union

An unknown figure cuts open a man's brain and replaces part of it with a machine. The man whose brain is being altered has the image of the Phoenix) in his eyes. Whilst performing the operation the unknown figure delivers a speech about how humanity will eradicate mutants unless mutants fight back.

The scene shifts to Wolverine) at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. He reminisces about the offer of help Professor X) extended to Logan when he first joined the X-Men). After Rogue) tells Wolverine that it’s time, he steps outside and gives a eulogy for Professor Xavier. Wolverine speaks of Professor Xavier’s dream of mutants and humans coexisting peacefully. He also says that even when some of Xavier’s students died defending the dream Xavier still wouldn’t give up on defending humans until they no longer feared and hated mutants. Wolverine reveals to those assembled that he had woken that morning with the intention of going and killing Cyclops) for what he’d done. The only thing that stopped him was knowing that it wasn’t what Charles would have wanted. As the mourners look on, including Magneto), who watches on a monitor from another location, Wolverine says that he and Charles’ other students failed Charles and his dream.

Later that day, Alex Summers) visits a maximum-security facility where he’s welcomed by S.H.I.E.L.D.) Director Maria Hill) and, after going through security checks, visits his brother in jail. Alex tells Scott that they buried Charles today. Scott, kept contained in a ruby-quartz chamber, remembers the early days of him becoming leader of the X-Men). They argue about what Cyclops did and Scott counters Alex’s chastisement of his leadership with the point that more mutants are appearing again. Scott says that he spent his life fighting for the Professor’s dream but learned better. Havok replies that Scott forgot everything Professor Xavier taught him and then killed him.

After Havok leaves, he is approached by Captain America) and Thor). Alex goes with them to Avengers Mansion where Captain America agrees that Scott was partly right that the Avengers) never did enough to help mutants. Captain America then offers Havok a spot on the Avengers and to lead a squad of both Avengers and X-Men in order to represent mutantkind. Havok refuses them however.

Meanwhile, the man who had part of his brain removed is revealed to be Avalanche) who goes on a rampage in the middle of town, causing massive destruction and shouting that his actions are an example of mutants fighting back against humans. Hearing the commotion Captain America, Thor and Havok race outside and, seeing the chaos, team up. Thor saves as many people as he can from a collapsing building. Captain America gets Havok to fire his power at Cap’s shield to boost him up to where Avalanche stands. Cap confronts Avalanche but before he can do anything Avalance, with a look of calm, throws himself off of a cliff to his death. Part of a building is about to collapse on a group of people until Havok uses his power to smash the structure. The three heroes then survey the destruction around them and lead the shaken populace to safety.

Meanwhile, the Scarlet Witch) visits Professor Xavier's grave. Rogue shows up and tries to force Scarlet Witch to leave and they begin arguing, with Rogue blaming Wanda’s erasing of mutant powers as the reason for some of Cyclops’ actions. Rogue also accuses Wanda of hiding amongst humans, such as the Avengers, and ignoring the plight of her fellow mutants because she could pretend she was normal. The argument turns physical, and Rogue attempts to absorb some of Wanda’s power through touch. It doesn’t work however and they are interrupted by a team of super-humans, one of whom) is able to negate mutant powers which is why Rogue couldn’t absorb Wanda’s magic. The villains steal Professor Xavier's corpse, capture Rogue and Wanda, and take them back to a base. Later, inside the base, the Red Skull_(Earth-616)) has cut out Charles' brain and declares that he will use it to eradicate the mutant menace.
