X-Men: Exodus

One year after the events of Firebrand, mutants remain on the fringes, feared and misunderstood. Though the Vault threat has passed, its lingering echoes ripple throughout the world. Apocalypse—En Sabah Nur—has awakened in Detroit, quietly beginning his campaign to reshape the world. With a vision of forcing evolution rather than destroying humanity, Apocalypse seeks to upgrade the human race, bending it to his will. Rogue leads a team of X-Men, including Polaris, Magik, Nightcrawler, Gentle, Elixir, and X-23, as they confront new challenges. As Apocalypse begins to gather his followers and reshape the Earth, the X-Men are pushed to the limits of their abilities, both physically and emotionally. With the stakes higher than ever, they must face the consequences of power, loyalty, and sacrifice, all while battling an enemy whose influence spreads faster than they can contain it. As they confront both the external threat and their internal struggles, the X-Men must find a way to stop a force that seeks to rewrite the world itself.

X-Men: Catalyst

In the shadow of HYDRA’s long-buried experiments, strange disappearances and unnatural phenomena begin to surface across the globe. Professor Xavier dispatches a newly reformed strike team: Angel, Rogue, Karma, Magik, Elixir, and Cannonball, to investigate the emergence of a powerful new threat. Their mission leads them to the Children of the Vault, a secretive group of post-human beings engineered beyond comprehension. What begins as a search for answers quickly spirals into a brutal confrontation that will test the team’s resolve and force them to confront the cost of failure. As the Children push forward with their plan to reshape the world, a familiar face returns under horrifying circumstances. For the X-Men, this fight is more than survival; it's the moment that will define who they are and what they’re willing to sacrifice.

X-Men: Firebrand

In the aftermath of the X-Men’s last battle, the team is fractured and struggling to find its place in a world that still fears them. Rogue has taken charge, but her leadership is tested as Angel steps away, and new recruits like X-23 and Gentle seek their place among the scarred remnants of the team. Meanwhile, Magneto, now more radical than ever, emerges as a dark force on the rise, determined to reshape the world in his image. As the Brotherhood of Mutants launches a series of attacks on global psychic tech, the X-Men must confront a mysterious, ancient power that’s stirring beneath the surface. What starts as a mission to stop Magneto’s violent ascension quickly turns into a battle for survival against an unknown threat, forcing the X-Men to confront their fractured unity and the brutal cost of standing in the way of the Brotherhood’s revolution. The stakes have never been higher. Mutantkind’s fate hangs in the balance, and the world may never be the same again.
