New X-Men #4

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

In "Teaching Children About Fractals," Quentin Quire tests his leadership by leading a group of rebellious students in a bold confrontation with a human gang, while Xorn guides another group, the Special Class, on a quiet camping trip that proves unexpectedly revealing. The story unfolds with sharp contrasts between action and introspection, exploring the boundaries of control, trust, and the fragile lines between mentor and student.

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 [Part 3]," the Omega Gang seizes control of Xavier's School, leaving the headmaster powerless and forcing the students to flee. As the Cuckoos attempt to rally resistance through Cerebra, their desperate effort takes a devastating turn when Sophie falls.

In "The Prime of Miss Emma Frost," Emma Frost faces the quiet unraveling of her influence at the Xavier Institute after Professor Xavier returns to leadership—only to announce his departure. With the Cuckoos preparing to leave, they leave Jean with a troubling whisper about Emma’s lingering interest in Scott, setting off a subtle but charged shift in the school’s dynamics.
