It is the year 2010 in the Universe 62408. It bears many resemblences to the commonly known universe of 616, but not completely. The Mutant Registration Act never happened, but that doesn't mean mutants have had it easy. If anything their 616 counter-parts have it easy. M-Day never happened and the humans have been dealing with a constantly rising Mutant population. WHich now makes up roughly 51% of the population.
The Civil War did take place just like in 616. But the outcome was quite different. After making meta-humans register, they wanted the more disturbing and in their eyes, more violent mutants to go through the same process. Since the Meta-human Registration Act didn't apply to Mutants. As soon as President Tony Stark announced that a line was drawn in the sand between meta-humans and mutants. Major teams like the Avengers thinned their ranks, kicking out the mutants like Beast, Wolverine, Storm, Scarlet Witch and others. In doing so the marriage of Storm and Black Panther has ended. Mutant children of meta-humans like Franklin Richards had to be rescued by a new team of mutants.
In seeing this problem both Magneto, Mystique and Xavier agreed that something had to be done. The Brotherhood joined forces with the X-Men. In the first battle the X-Men were nearly wiped out or imprisoned. But they were saved by some unlikely allies. As they were launching a last ditch effort Captain America, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Elektra, Bullseye and several others joined the fight on behalf of the X-Men and beat them back. But all is not well as some mutants have registered and joined the Avengers side.
When the battle was over the X-Men found their numbers much lower than before. Several key members like Cyclops, Toad, Blob, Pyro, Mystique, Collossus, Shadow Cat, Rogue, Storm and Wolverine were imprisoned. WHile others were in critical condition. Having no choice they activated the reserves. Namely older students and other known mutants came to their aid.
With Xavier dead from injuries suffered in the battle and Magneto's health failing these new recruits must turn the tide. Or else the very freedom of mutants will be destroyed.
But the government isn't just using the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Their new Sentinels have proven quite effective, especially in Mutant Town. They seek Xavier's but failed to realized, with the help of several teleporters the school, sub-basement and all has been moved. Will this secret location help them or will all of mutant-kind be wiped off he face of the Earth?
It's up to you! What side will you take in the Meta-Human Wars?
