In "New Worlds," Professor X makes a shocking public revelation that changes everything, as he steps out from behind the veil of secrecy to declare himself a mutant. With the Phoenix stirring within Jean Grey, the weight of her power presses on the team, while Fantomex arrives at Xavier's seeking answers—and help—amid rising chaos. Amid the tension, Cyclops confronts Emma Frost over the fragile state of his relationship with Jean, as the world they know begins to fracture.

Fantomex, a mysterious mercenary with a penchant for theatrics and a past shrouded in secrecy, finds himself hunted through the rain-slicked streets of Paris—only to be rescued by Jean and the Professor. As he recounts his harrowing escape, he reveals a chilling truth: Weapon XII, a deadly threat, is already deep in the city’s underbelly, hunting the young X-Men team in the sewers below.

In "Weapon Twelve," Jean and the Professor arrive at the X-Mansion with the enigmatic Fantomex to aid the young X-Men, only to find Darkstar already fallen. As the team faces the deadly Weapon XII, a shocking revelation unfolds: Fantomex is not who he claimed to be—his true identity as Weapon XIII begins to unravel.

In "Dust," Wolverine tracks down Fantomex to rescue Sooraya, while Professor X faces a crisis of identity when Lilandra, believing him to be the impostor Cassandra Nova, attacks him after thwarting an airliner hijacking—leading to her people voiding their marriage.

In "Kid Omega," mutant fashion designer Jumbo Carnation is brutally attacked and killed, sending shockwaves through Xavier's school. The tragedy deepens the growing rift among the students, especially as Quentin Quire, a powerful Omega-level telepath, begins to question the school’s ideals and the limits of their safety.

In a quiet moment away from the chaos of the mutant campus, Xorn takes the Special Class on a camping trip, where lessons in nature and self-discovery unfold beneath the open sky. Meanwhile, Quentin Quire pushes his own group of students to the edge, testing their limits in a confrontation that blurs the line between discipline and rebellion.

In "When X Is Not X," Xorn's Special Class camping trip takes a sudden turn when John Sublime's U-Men arrive, hunting mutants for their organs. Amid the chaos, Quentin's Omega Gang stirs trouble at the school, while Emma and Scott find themselves drawn closer together.

In "Riot at Xavier's," the X-Men's sanctuary is overrun when the Omega Gang disables Professor Xavier and seizes control of the school, forcing the students to flee. As the Cuckoos attempt to rally resistance through Cerebra, their desperate effort takes a devastating turn.

In "The Prime of Miss Emma Frost," Emma Frost grapples with the shifting dynamics at the Xavier Institute after Professor Xavier reclaims control but announces his resignation. With the Cuckoos departing and their cryptic warning about Emma’s interest in Scott lingering, the weight of her choices and the future of the school settle on her shoulders.

In the final chapter of the mansion mystery, Hank and Jean work to restore Emma to life, while Bishop and Sage uncover the truth behind the attempted murder—leading to Esme’s departure from the Stepford Cuckoos and the X-Mansion.
