X-Men: X-Corps #[nn]

In "Poptopia Part One: Useless Beauty," the X-Men find themselves drawn into the hidden world of a mutant colony beneath London, where Chamber forms an unexpected bond with a rising British pop star, Sugar Kane. As the team navigates the city’s underground rhythms, old tensions and new alliances begin to take shape—especially when a mysterious figure known only as Mr. Clean enters the picture.

When the X-Men infiltrate the Church of Humanity’s stronghold, Nightcrawler is felled in a sudden clash with their enigmatic leader, the Supreme Pontiff—leaving the team fractured and on the edge of a reckoning. As secrets begin to surface, even the most trusted among them may not be who they seem.

A new designer drug that temporarily grants mutant powers is spreading through the streets, drawing the X-Men into a high-stakes chase that leads them to an old enemy. With the trail winding through shadows of the past and the presence of familiar faces—both allies and echoes of the past—this mission tests the team’s resolve in ways they never expected.
