Here we go... Great issue I think! There's lots of great character moments (except Sunfire really) and the team works really well together. The new villains seem interesting and the new HQ is very creative. It's also great to see the X-Men seen as heroes.
Kevin Heng, a child prodigy, created an IPO around 13 but his parents took his money. Not long after, the whole family disappeared. Years later, he showed up again with a bigger ego and started another IPO. One in which Mars would be terraformed by him. But as we know, the X-Men beat him to it ruining his work. Now instead of changing Mars to accept human bodies, he wants human bodies to naturally be able to withstand Mars. He starts with himself.
Meanwhile, the new X-Men team are joined by Polaris. Cyclops shows her and a reporter their new HQ. A giant Krakoan treehouse in NYC. The treehouse looks beautiful and is very nature friendly. It’s an eyesore without being an eyesore. The reporter is impressed but he starts asking questions about how Jumbo the designer used to be dead. Cyclops ends the meeting.
Synch is inside working with Forge in setting up the treehouse. It’s revealed Emma, Doug, Tempo and Forge were instrumental in building the treehouse. They are interrupted when Jean senses danger.
Rogue is first dispatched and manages to slow down the giant objects crash into earth. The object is revealed to be some giant alien robot form, and smashes Rogue off into the distance. The rest of the team arrives and Polaris takes it on, but her powers have no effect on the monster. Rogue saves Polaris from the monster when this happens and the team regroups. The monster is also telepath resistant, so the team has a meeting (in a giant metal ball room that Polaris creates) and Synch has a plan since he still has Forge’s power.
The plan is to build a giant X-robot that kinda looks like a relative of Nanny. Once in the Power Rangers robot, the whole team takes on the monster and when it’s finally injured, Wolverine leaps out to finish the kill. Just as all the other Marvel teams show up, the new XMen team is hailed as heroes by everyone. The X-robot is "retired" as a lighthouse until they need it again.
It’s then revealed in deep space, that the Mind Reaper (the monster) was sent from some gambling world filled with weird looking aliens or something. There, an alien plant monster uses the skeleton of an astronaut to claim that they want Earth but not its humans. So they must exterminated humans while leaving Earth unharmed.
Back to Kevin Heng. He has been doing experiments on humans in order to make them more powerful. They all die but he is making progress. He also wonders why so many dead mutants are now alive again.
Also, an add is seen for an alien lawyer representing Mars natives displaced by the mutants.
