About this Collection

This 2012 collection reprints the earliest adventures of Nate Grey, the reality-warping mutant known as X-Man, who first emerged from the Age of Apocalypse timeline into the mainstream Marvel Universe. The story follows Nate as he struggles to control his immense psionic powers while being hunted by forces like Mr. Sinister and the Dark Beast, who see him as a weapon. Along the way, he crosses paths with familiar X-Men allies and foes, including Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Apocalypse, as he tries to carve out a place for himself in a world that fears him.

In "The Man Who Fell to Earth," X-Man arrives on Muir Island seeking answers, only to be tested by Moira in a tense confrontation with Excalibur. As his powers begin to take a deadly toll, Nate's trust shatters when he learns Moira has been secretly communicating with Xavier—someone he deeply distrusts—pushing him to the edge. Written by John Ostrander and illustrated with sharp precision by Steve Skroce, this 2012 issue features a cover by Skroce that captures the story's mounting intensity.
