When Namorita’s stolen Horn of Doom unleashes a monstrous force that lays waste to Atlantis, she’s convinced the New Mutants are behind it—though the truth lies with Ghaur and Llyra.

In "A Case of the Cutes," Jo finds herself caught in a whimsical dream sequence after dozing off during a lighthearted chat with Boom Boom about the male New Mutants. As a comic book artist whimsically pairs her with various heroes, the dream takes a delightfully surreal turn when Franklin Richards emerges as an unexpectedly charming match—though how it all unfolds remains delightfully unspooled.

In "The Great Escape," the New Mutants find themselves caught between conflicting allegiances when Freedom Force captures Cable, suspecting his ties to the MLF.

In "Prey for the Living," the New Mutants launch a high-stakes rescue mission for Rictor, plunging into a brutal clash with Sabretooth and Caliban—only to find Masque complicating matters further. As the fight escalates, Caliban delivers a shocking blow, and Rictor begins to see Cable in a new light.

When a Danger Room simulation triggers a haunting memory, Wolfsbane is unsettled by a flicker of a carnival—its bright lights and distant laughter echoing the real event that once brought the New Mutants to Kentucky, where a seemingly innocent fair hid a far more dangerous truth.

In "The Once and Future Mutant," adult Franklin Richards returns to Xavier's School, rebuilding it as he remembers it—complete with a new generation of New Mutants. When Ahab strikes, the adult and young Franklin must face each other in a clash that tests identity, memory, and legacy.

In a fractured timeline where past and future collide, the X-Folk join forces with the Fantastic Four to stop Franklin Richards’ desperate bid to rewrite reality—his memories of a lost world driving him to erase the present. As Rachel confronts the mother she never knew, and Nathan Christopher vanishes in a flash of cosmic light, the line between salvation and destruction blurs.

In "Madripoor," Cable and the New Mutants pursue the Mutant Liberation Front to the chaotic streets of Madripoor, where they join forces with Sunfire in a desperate stand.
