Genosha, the once-independent mutant safe haven, has been reduced to a smoldering wasteland by mysterious energy strikes from orbit. Governments deny involvement. The X-Men are fractured. Xavier is silent. Magneto is missing.
But a core few survivors — Rogue, Rictor, and X-23 (Laura Kinney) — regroup underground. They team up with Domino and Bishop, forming a black ops mutant squad: X-Force.
Their mission: infiltrate a top-secret mutant black site known as Project Black Halo, where the Silence has begun physically harvesting the DNA of “disappeared” mutants to study resistance to cosmic memory erasure.
But a specter haunts their path — the project’s lead enforcer: Mr. Sinister, now partially merged with stolen fragments of Apocalypse's celestial tech. And he’s begun to remember… everything.
