Comic Summary The Exiles have arrived in the next reality where Namor the Sub-Mariner has declared war on the surface of Earth and already forms a beachhead in Latveria. Despite their negative feelings towards Latveria’s Emperor, the team has to assist Dr. Doom to stop Namor from gaining a foothold on the surface. Namor's troops have captured the Latverian army in a force field, and also taken over Doom's castle, where they are currently working on a technology that will allow the Atlanteans to breathe on the surface, but impossible for humans to do so. Mimic goes to attack the castle while the rest of the team go to the aid of the army. On the way, Mimic flashes back to his native reality. Calvin grew up with the wrong crowd. He came into contact with the X-Men, and followed them because his manifesting mutant power was copying all of their powers. He joined the Brotherhood but they abandoned him when he was defeated by the X-Men. While in jail, Mimic was contacted by Xavier, and agreed to join the school simply because it was better than being in jail. Over time Calvin began to fit in with the X-Men and eventually became their leader. Calvin misses his homeworld, and the only thing that keeps him sane in his current situation of being stuck with the reality hopping Exiles is Blink. Calvin is unsure if he really loves her or just sees her as a safe place. Mimic arrives at the castle and is attacked by a pair of doombots, but easily takes them down. Continuing deeper into the castle, he stumbles on a room filled with doombots. They switch into battle mode and attack. (Brief description courtesy of uncannyxmen.net)

Comic Summary In an alternate reality, all of Earth is ruled by President Tony Stark, Iron Man, from his Oval Office in New York City. Little does the world know that it was Iron man who formed a secret alliance with Magneto to cause the Mutant Wars. After a huge amount of Earth’s super-beings perished in the conflict, Iron man betrayed his ally and killed him, which the public perceived a heroic act. The last true opponent was Dr. Doom, but Iron man killed him in battle. What the public doesn’t know is a radiation blast from Doom permanently disfigured Stark and that the handsome face is just a holographic projection. Also, he is forced to wear his armor all the time. Right now, the Inhumans are among the last free people, as they turned their city into a giant submarine, hidden well behind a cloaking field. Unfortunately, necessary repairs force them to the surface, where they are discovered. Black Bolt and his wife have only one option: to protect their city by activating the G Barrier. It was a parting gift from Sue’s deceased first husband, Reed Richards. Originally designed to keep Galactus at bay, the shield disintegrates everything that it comes in contact with. Stark’s armed forces learn this the hard way. While Iron Man ponders his next move, after all he needs the Inhumans alive to breed a superhuman army to conquer the stars, a new group of players arrive on the scene – Weapon X, a reality-hopping team of time-displaced operatives. Their mission is to set things right.

Comic Summary Weapon X explains to President Stark, aka Iron Man, that their mission is to help him breach the force field around Attilan, enabling him to capture the Inhumans. It takes a little effort but, with secret information provided by the Tallus, they finally convince him of them really being reality-hoppers with a mission. They even know about a special key that Reed Richards left in someone’s care, just in case that his force field technology fell into the wrong hands. The problem is that this person is Wonder Man, who, after being close to this reality’s Hulk when he was killed by a gamma radiation bomb, absorbed some of the rays and the Hulk’s genetic material, turning him into an amalgam of himself and the green goliath, more powerful than ever. Weapon X secretly enter the home of him, the Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange, unnoticed thanks to magical talismans created by Storm. However, the Spider gets careless and gives Dr. Strange an opening to rip off his magic necklace, thus setting off the fortification spell cast by Wanda. Now alerted to the team’s presence, Wonder Man immediately shows up to fight them. While Angel and Vision search the house for the strange key, the rest of the group fights Wonder Man. When the Spider threatens his lover, he gets mad and transforms into his Hulk state. The team has no other option than to use a portable gate to the Negative Zone, given to them by President Stark. “Wonder Hulk” is sucked in, but so is the Jen Walters, the Weapon X’s Hulk, because Spider refuses to save her with a webline. Instantly, the team gains a new member in some alternate reality version of Colossus. Weapon X returns to Iron Man with the key. Meanwhile, in Attilan, Black Bolt senses that things are coming to an end and decides that he’ll make sure his race will never be hunted again. (Brief description courtesy of uncannyxmen.net)

Comic Summary Dr. Strange and the Scarlet Witch alert the Inhumans that the disruptor is now in the hands of President Stark. The Inhumans wonder what to do. Black Bolt studies several books on races that have been hunted down and, after reading a tale entitled “Masada,” he formulates a plan. Sue Richards, his wife, doesn’t agree with it, but it’s now use, his decision is made. The strongest warriors of the Inhumans await the attacking forces outside the barrier, while inside Black Bolt carries out his plan. Led by Weapon X, Stark’s troops attack Attilan. Vision is maimed by Karnak, but Colossus and Gambit manage to get the disruptor to the G-Barrier. The device works and the force field fades. Weapon X and Stark’s army storm inside, but they find only dead bodies. The Inhumans have robbed Stark of a true victory, as he needed the Inhumans as slaves. With their mission at an end, Weapon X is teleported to the next reality, although they are not aware of the events they really set in motion. Black Bolt, hovering above Attilan, shouts a single word a full force “Masada,” killing himself and vaporizing everything in a certain range, so that Stark can’t even use the bodies’ genetic material. Later, President Stark ponders the situation, when he is suddenly sought out by Sue Richards, who kills him with an invisible force dagger right before being shot by his security. During the battle, Black Bolt made Sue cloak 300 Inhumans, who will secretly rebuild their society in hiding, while, in the following years, all of Stark’s machinations will be uncovered. Thus, the timeline restores itself to what it should be. (Brief description courtesy of uncannyxmen.net)

He eventually spots some warships and investigates. He’s attacked by para-normals, but manages to outmaneuver them and destroy two of their ships. After rescuing an unconscious aggressor, Gambit is dragged back down into the water by the Ancient Master of the Ocean. They tell him they want to end the warring, which Gambit explains he was trying to do. Moments later, Queen Fen and her Atlantean entourage show up and after some hasty explanations they all realize they’re on the same team. Fen utilizes her resources, Ro-Ro, weather mistress, and the geothermal power station in the Savage Land, to convince Napoleon to stop his invasion. The power goes out in Paris, but Napoleon doesn’t seem too upset. As a matter of fact, the entire French fleet disappears through teleportation fields and the power to Paris is returned. The ships reappear near Britain and a ground assault begins. Morph and Sage take the queen to safety while Rogue, Mystiq and Prince Jeffrey head to a special school where they recruit a younger group of super-powered beings called Force-X. Back at the Crystal Palace, Cat is still trying to figure out what’s going on with the Omniverse. Heather (Icon) drops some subtle hints, but then she too starts to disappear.

Comic Summary The Exiles find themselves off course, on a world where a rogue member of a god-like race called the “Makers” has decided to wreak havoc. The Maker transforms five humans into their evil incarnations and they basically destroy Manhattan. The Exiles arrive after the fact and defend Valeria Richards and Rosetta, two survivors of the horrendous destruction. It turns out this Valeria is the same one Morph and Psylocke met several missions ago. They all leave together to find sanctuary. Once relocated, Mystiq tries saving Rosetta’s life, but she dies as a result of her wounds. The Exiles decide to help this world even though it wasn’t their intended mission so they take the fight to the bad guys, beating them rather easily. This is when the Maker decides to appear and instantaneously transports the Exiles to his base located on a second moon orbiting Earth. He successfully transforms all of the team into evil versions of themselves, except for the impervious Psylocke. This effect rids Morph of his conditioning and Proteus’ personality reemerges. Cocky guy he is, Proteus goes after the Maker by himself only to get his backside handed to him. Morph, whose consciousness managed to survive this whole time, offers to add his strength to Proteus’. Together they defeat the Maker and everyone returns to normal. In the end Morph and Proteus decide to call a truce and share Morph’s body. Some time later, after the world is on its way back to normal, the Exiles depart for their prior mission, promising Valeria they’ll look her up again one day.
