Plot
In 2027, Mutants are being hunted by Sentinels, giant robots designed to hunt and kill Mutants. The process started unbeknownst to humanity in 1982 after Mystique murdered Senator Robert Kelly. Shadowcat, Gambit, and Scarlet Witch lead the new X-Men, Pietr Rasputin/Colossus, Blink, and Sunspot. Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X find Shadowcat's X-Men and reveal their plan to revert history. Using Kitty's ability to send somebody's consciousness through time, only the past, Professor X wants to send himself back in time to convince Mystique not to assassinate Kelly. However, Kitty reveals that a 45-year trip could rip someone's mind apart. Wolverine volunteers as his mind could heal just as fast as it is ripped apart. Shadowcat begins the process and Wolverine awakens in 1982. Wolverine arrives in Westchester, New York, to find Professor X to get his help to find Mystique. Wolverine meets with Professor X. Wolverine discovers that Professor X has his own past X-Men and that Magneto and Mystique helped him create the X-Men, before leaving to create the Brotherhood.

In Washington D.C., Mystique leads her Brotherhood: Toad, Blob, Destiny, and Sabretooth. Magneto is in prison after being sold out by Mystique. Wolverine manages to convince Professor X of his being from 2027. His X-Men: Havoc, Banshee, Jubilee, and Angel, are reluctant to help Wolverine, though they go through with it because of being loyal to Professor X.
