Crossover Event
X-Purge
Just when the dust had finally settled after secret wars and secret empire, and the time travel blue/gold event, certain mutants begin to feel increasingly ill - experiencing headaches and nausea, before passing out.
Old man Logan, Rachael, the original five, Bishop, Cable, the Ultimates, etc. Almost immediately after they are incapacitated strange abhorred creatures with strange abilities begin to attack attempting to capture and take the incapacitated away.
Some get taken, the X-teams fight others back. The X-Club work on trying to isolate the cause of the sickness and origin of the creatures and quickly manage to link all the victims as mutants who didn't originate in 'our' Earth's universe.
Tracking those taken back to their base of operations, the X-Men discover that the creatures originate from the void between parallel universes and are corrupted 'barrier guardians' who existed to prevent multiverse travelers who would meddle in other universe's time streams.
Originally created by Saturnyne, the creatures would lurk in the void, draining contaminant multiversal particle energy from those would attempt to cross to protect the barriers. They particularly developing a taste for mutants as they typically had the most multiverse incursions. Trevor Fitzroy, surviving being cut in half by his own portal by bishop, ended up in the void and came to an understanding with them. He would create portals for them to travel through to the different universes, where they would purge all multiversal contaminants, draining not only the containment particles, but their life force too. This would leaving the world 'pure' and no longer a threat to multiverse stability. With the events of Secret Wars, Trevor and purgers saw their barriers break down and with the end approaching they sought refuge in reformed 616, seeking vengeance on those they blame for having to leave their home, with Trevor seeking personal vengeance on Bishop and the X-Men.
The creatures and the X-men Fight. Trevor loses control over the creatures and they consume several of the minor multiversal characters nobody cares about ( Future brotherhood, X-Treme X-Men's refugees, etc) and seem unbeatable. Trevor flees and Bishop goes to give chase through Trevors portal which leads a few creatures in tow. Cable realizes that the multiversal contaminants have to leave 616 in order to protect it and get the creatures to leave. He rallies the survivors and leads them through the portal into the unknown with the creatures following - spinning off into a new Exiles book.
