Prosjekt X #2/1990

In the heart of San Francisco, the X-Men find themselves caught between a city they’re trying to protect and a new threat: Freedom Force, determined to arrest them. With the SFPD arriving just in time to send the enforcers packing, the team faces a new kind of danger—being forced to leave the city they’ve come to call home. Amid the chaos, Rachel makes a quiet but seismic decision: to finally reveal the truth about her origins to Cyclops.

In "Den tredje tilblivelse," the original X-Men reunite when they learn Jean Grey may still be alive, leading to a powerful reckoning with her near-death experience and the lingering presence of the Phoenix. As the team grapples with the past, they forge X-Factor—a mission to hunt mutants, but with a hidden purpose: to rescue and protect those in need. When Navy man Rusty Collins awakens with uncontrollable flame powers, he becomes the first true test of their new path.

In "Gjenferd," Rachel is haunted by nightmares of Wolverine’s violent past, driving her to confront the source of her fear—Selene. As the tension escalates, Wolverine stands between Rachel and the Black Queen, his actions blurring the line between protector and predator.
