X-Men: Deadly Genesis #[nn]
In "Part 1 of 6," a government Sentinel falls fast to Vulcan’s power, giving Cyclops the opening to send Rachel back to the mansion for help. With Vulcan holding Cyclops hostage on Muir Island, the X-Men converge as Xavier arrives—only to be met with a shocking revelation: Vulcan claims to be Scott’s long-lost brother and a survivor of a doomed team from Krakoa. The truth, however, hangs in the balance when Xavier admits he can no longer access the mind with his telepathy. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Trevor Hairsine with Scott Hanna, this pivotal issue sets the stage with a tense confrontation and a secret that redefines everything. The cover by Marc Silvestri and Joe Weems captures the moment’s intensity.

The government sends a Sentinel against Vulcan but he quickly destroys it. Cyclops uses this diversion to send Rachel back to the mansion to contact the rest of the X-Men for help. Vulcan takes Cyclops to Muir Island and they wait for Professor X to show up. Xavier arrives, followed quickly by the X-Men. Cyclops is horrified when Xavier admits that Vulcan has been telling the truth--he is part of a previous team of X-Men who died on Krakoa and is also Scott's brother. Vulcan demands that Xavier show them all telepathically, but Charlie admits that he can't do so as he is no longer a mutant.
