“The Traitor”

In "The Traitor," a pivotal moment in Marvel's What If...? anthology, Bishop's desperate pursuit of Fitzroy leads them both through time to a critical juncture: Charles Xavier, still working with a young Jean Grey, has not yet founded the X-Men. Written by Ben Raab and brought to life by Ariel Olivetti’s dynamic interior art, with inks by Pier Brito and colors by Matt Webb, this issue explores a haunting twist on loyalty and perception. The cover, penciled by Olivetti and inked by Brito, captures the tension of a fractured timeline where trust is the first casualty.
