[edit] Plot Summary
[edit] Final Genesis (Issue 1 - )
Blindfold has a vision of a team of X-Men facing off against a deadly old foe of the X-Men, Donald Pierce, former member of the Hellfire Club. After one of the members is murdered in the ensuing battle, she wakes up violently from the nightmarish dream. Elsewhere, Cyclops is seen across the world, recruiting, several teenaged mutants such as Eric Gitter, and former students like Sooraya Qadir (Dust), Nicholas Gleason (Wolf Cub); and Santo Vaccarro (Rockslide). Santo, however, refuses to join unless Scott accepts Ruth Aldine, Blindfold, who Scott had originally planned not to recruit, to be on the team as well.
After assembling the Young X-Men in the Danger Cave, he gives them their costumes, which have the appearance of the standard yellow and black training uniforms. He lectures them that he is reforming the X-Men, beginning with perhaps the last generation of mutants. Their first mission is to take down a new incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants, under the control of Sunspot who is now Lord Imperial of the Hellfire Club and is accompanied by his friends and former teammates, Cannonball, Magma, and Danielle Moonstar.
