Subplots
Binary
In Beverly, Massachusetts, Carol Danvers is operating as a Phoenix Force-empowered Binary following the death of Jean Grey. At at a town hall meeting, Binary claims that she is using a psychic dome to keep the X-Virus out and is not enslaving them. A man named Hank heads home and speaks with a hooded cloaked woman, who states that Carol is stretching herself too far and opens the force field to let the feral Babels in. Binary defends the citizens as the hooded cloaked woman plans to have Binary see a familiar face in her town. [19]
In Year One, Carol Danvers goes to Jean Grey's side as Jean had set up a barrier to guard against the X-Virus. Before Jean Grey succumbs to her condition, she has Carol promise her to keep the X-Virus from spreading as Jean transfers the Phoenix Force to her. X years into the Age of Revelation, Binary takes down a group of feral Babels. Elsewhere in Beverly, Hank pitches an idea to do away with Binary. After an attempt on her life while she is speaking with Jean's ghost, Binary strikes back against Hank and those involved as the Phoenix Force does not want them harmed. It turns out that Jean's spirit merged with the Phoenix Force. They are then attacked by the hooded cloaked woman, who is revealed to be Madelyne Pryor. [20]
When Binary mistakes Madelyne Pryor for Jean Grey, she is corrected by the Jean Grey/Phoenix Force, who states that the Phoenix Force does not belong to her. Pryor goes on the attack as the Phoenix Force states that Jean exhausted her mortal body and needed time to rebuild after creating a barrier to keep the X-Virus from leaving Earth. Pryor then breaks through and attacks Binary and Jean Grey. Meanwhile, Cecilia lashes out against Hank for his use of the explosions on Binary as he admits that he made a deal with Pryor to get everyone out of Beverly. Binary and Jean Grey continue their fight with Pryor as she overpowers Binary. In the nick of time, the rest of the people of Beverly show up to help Binary as Binary states to Jean that she cannot hold the barrier any longer. It soon breaks and the X-Virus gets in. Binary tells Jean Grey that they have to make the Phoenix Force whole again. Binary sacrifices herself to give Jean the full power of the Phoenix Force, allowing her to fend off Pryor. Later, Mayor Abigail and Cecilia are at Carol Danvers' grave. They talk about Jean Grey restoring the barrier and state that they will all die if it goes down again. [21]
Laura Kinney: Sabretooth
In Philadelphia, Gabby Kinney and Daken are salvaging some equipment for Sage when they are confronted by Laura Kinney, who is operating as Sabretooth and honoring the memory of Sabretooth's son Zane Creed. Laura requests that Gabby take her son Alex with her to protect him, as he has no powers. Alex leaves with Gabby and Daken, which is witnessed by Hellion of the Seraph. When Revelation is informed of Sabretooth planning to defect and stop Gabby, Revelation tells him to leave them be as this is a family matter. At Revelation's palace, Sabretooth is taken to Revelation by the Angel of Death. As Shark-Girl tends to Daken's injury, Gabby is told that Sage wants to see her. Sage has gotten the technology that will sync with Blink's consciousness and operate the teleportation gate. Sabretooth detects Hellion, who states that Alex would have had a purpose if he was a mutant. Laura stabs Hellion in the heart. [22]
Revelation gives Sabretooth a mission to stop Gabby Kinney, Daken, and Alex from leaving the Revelation Territories for their own good. In addition, he has appointed Vanisher to take her and some selected troops to where their teleporter is. Outside of Helicarrierville, Gabby, Daken, Alex, and Sage await for the departure to California, Canada, and Arakko. Just then, Sabretooth and Vanisher arrive with their troops to cancel the travel plans. As Sage activates the teleportation gate, Revelation's soldiers start grabbing some of them. Giving Alex to Shark-Girl for safekeeping, Gabby and Daken work to buy the refugees time. Sabretooth stabs Sage and lets Gabby and Daken go through the teleportation gate. Gabby and Daken find themselves on Arakko and are confronted by Arakki mutants who state that they do not belong there and must fight for their privelage. Before that can happen, Apocalypse shows up to break up the conflict and asks about news regarding Revelation. [23]
Having had her free will restored, Sabretooth confronts Revelation, furious that she once trusted him and that Zane gave his life to protect him. After a brief fight with the Angel of Death, Revelation reveals that he knows about the escape of those that went to Arakko and uses his powers to will Sabretooth into bringing the mutants back to the Revelation Territories and retrieve Sage's teleporter device so that he can make use of it. Meanwhile on Arakko, Apocalpyse has Gabby Kinney and Daken fight for their life in his arena, respectively fighting Rictor and Shark-Girl. Sabretooth appears with a group of Seraphim to detain everyone as Apocalypse unleashes his soldiers on them. When Alex comes out, Gabby saves him from one of Apocalypse's soldiers and sends him to hide until she comes for him. Then Gabby confronts Sabretooth as they fight each other. Alex disobeys orders and confronts Sabretooth. Sabretooth stabs Gabby, who is expected to heal. When Daken confronts Sabretooth, Alex unleashes a wave of energy that knocks everyone down. Apocalypse is impressed with Alex and deems him worthy to use in his fight against Earth. Alex then embraces his mother's body as he claims that he lost everything. [24]
Longshots
In the Mojoverse, Mojo is told about what happened on Earth by Major Domo, causing all the shows in the Mojoverse to be cancelled. Acting as Longshot's agent, Spiral states that Longshot must be paid if they want him to return. Mojo kills the lawyer upon not wanting to agree to Spiral's condition for Longshot to return. Mojo comes up with an idea for a new show starring the "X-People" and made by the X-Babies. Hellcat takes a deal from Mojo to recruit cast members. Her first stop is Bishop as she passes off her mission as a trip to the Revelation Territories. At the Pop-Up Bar With No Name in California, they obtain Rhino, who has lost his horn to Jeff the Land Shark and used a series of replacements. In the frontier of the Revelation Territories, Hellcat entices Wonder Man with a high-paying job and takes him to meet Bishop, Kraven the Hunter, and Rhino (who has replaced his horn with an axe blade). Mojo begins filming his series in a former Project Pegasus facility deep within the Revelation Territories where the X-People will compete to target a power plant. Unbeknownst to Mojo, Longshot and Spiral are in the audience. [25]
Longshots has become a smash hit as the Misfit Team is cutting through the Revelation Territories. When Longshot voices his displeasure over the series, Spiral tells him that they will either have to wait for them to screw up or guide them in the right direction. As the Misfit Team makes their way though a wasteland to get to the power plant, Spiral visits Baby Uatu at the Office of Subscriber Data, where she claims that she has a suspected case of password sharing. Bishop enters the building with his laser frying and his bionic arm flies out. When Rhino puts it where his horn used to be, Kraven grabs at it and they both disappear. Hellcat and Wonder Man are then attacked by the Technarchy that emerged from the power plant. When they get though the Power Plant and take down a barrier, they find a Celestial inside. This confuses Mojo as Galactus was supposed to be behind the barrier. In need of a ringer for the third act, Mojo ends up caving and Major Domo calls Spiral to tell her that they will accept Longshot's terms. [26]
As the Celestial begs to be killed, Wonder Man and Hellcat learn that it will explode due to its hull being unstable. Wonder Man notes that millions of people will die and suggests transporting the Celestial away from Earth. Meanwhile, Spiral tracks down Bishop, binding him and dressing him as Stryfe with an active grenade tied to him to make it look like that Bishop died taking out Stryfe. Wonder Man and Hellcat sacrifice themselves to power the ship and transport the Celestial into space. It is revealed that Kraven the Hunter and Rhino survived and were given a series of their own. Mojo and the X-Babies then reveal the Longshot Babies to their audience and state that more projects will be available on Mojo+. Longshot is in the audience and tells Spiral that they would have gotten in on this if Spiral was a better agent, causing Spiral to drop him. The baby versions of Wonder Man and Hellcat are shown holding hands. [27]
World of Revelation
A messenger has received information from Bei the Blood Moon and travels to the Autumn Palace to deliver the information to Apocalypse. Showing some displeasure with the news, Apocalypse muses that he should have chosen Rictor as his heir. The messenger is revealed to be Professor X and Apocalypse asks him where they go from here. Several stories are then shown: [28]
- Two years into the Age of Revelation, Wiccan and Hulkling visit Revelation and ask how many are dead. As Catseye and Primal of the Seraphim lunge towards them, Hulkling prepares to fight them as Wiccan notes that Cassie Lang, Eli Bradley, and Kate Bishop are dead. As Wiccan casts a spell to undo the X-Virus outbreak, Revelation asks Khora to aid him and reduces Wiccan to a Babel. Hulkling evacuates Wiccan and ends up caring for him, as his condition is incurable.
- During the X-Virus outbreak, the Fantastic Four were killed and Franklin Richards was mutated, leaving him in a monstrous form and rendering him unable to survive outside the Revelation Territories. Making his way back to his cave, Franklin meets up with H.E.R.B.I.E. and gives him a book of chemistry and ceramic arts. Franklin then proceeds to work on a new doomsday book containing a full accounting of the world's achievements. Franklin's weak body is taken out by a mutant biker gang. H.E.R.B.I.E. narrates the activation of his secondary programming as he seals up the cave and shuts down carefully as time passes. Eons later, H.E.R.B.I.E. is found in a cave by a group of mutants, where he learns their language and shares whatever knowledge he has with them.
Iron & Frost
X years after the Day of Revelation in New York City, a hooded robed figure arrived at the pit where it all began and ended. Six years ago at Avengers Mansion, Emma Frost, Firestar, Iron Man, and War Machine fight the Seraphim members Carmella Unuscione, Marrow, and Phaser. Frost reveals to a woman named Mrs. Vale and her daughter Eris that the Seraphim are after Eris who is a mutant that they want to join the fold. Unuscione removes the gas mask on Vale as she is infected with the X-Virus. Eris reveals her geokinetic powers which she uses to impale Unuscione with a rock as an earthquake starts. Firestar loses control of her microwave field, causing War Machine to use his cryo-dampening foam on her. When Marrow tries to stab Eris, Frost throws herself in front of the attack. As Avengers Mansion starts to go underground, Marrow falls to her death as Frost survives by shifting to her diamond form, leaving a hole where her heart should be. After Iron Man puts Marrow out of her misery and War Machine rescues Eris, they find Frost's diamond form as she advises them to flee before more Seraphim show up. While grabbing Firestar's foamed body, Iron Man and War Machine evacuate Eris while planning to come back for her. Back in the present, the hooded robed figure descends down the pit and is revealed to be Frost, who will die if she leaves her diamond form. Frost finds the ruins of Avengers Mansion in the clutches of the Hellfire Club, where she reunites with Eris under her alias of Landslide and discovers that Iron Man has become the iron-skinned Iron King. [29]
Landslide and Iron King reveal to Emma Frost that Iron Man was mutated by the X-Virus due to an error in the Mark-74's filtration system, which allowed him to be infected and fused him with his armor. War Machine appears and is revealed to have adopted Landslide. Phaser attacks War Machine and compromises his armor, causing him to begin mutating. Iron King is informed that James Rhodes cannot be removed from the War Machine armor, but attempts to remove him regardless. Landslide tries to use the retrogen on Rhodes, which stabilizes his mutation, and objects to Iron King having Rhodes isolated. The electricity from Rhodes hits Iron King and reawakens the dormant part of Tony Stark's brain. The retrogen loses its effect on Rhodes, causing him to resume mutating. Stark, struggling with his conflicting personalities, chooses to kill Rhodes. [30]
Emma Frost watches as Landslide lashes out against Iron King who considered Rhodes's mutation an undermining of his work. Iron King's patients escape imprisonment, only for Iron King to kill them using the War Machine armor. Stark is greeted by an augmented reality avatar within the armor, who is a copy of Iron Man's mind before the Iron King personality was created. Frost is shown footage of War Machine's last black market run, where he obtained a Chrono-Splitter that was built by Doctor Doom. The Stark avatar sends a message to the past before being attacked and destroyed by Iron King. Frost takes control of the War Machine armor and sacrifices herself by returning to her organic form to reach Stark's original personality. X years before the Age of Revelation, a message appears on Tony Stark's computer with the option to save it. [31]

As Revelation is the cause of it, Sinister sends his Sinister's Six to target him. [34]
Sinister's Six are deep in the Revelation Territories when they come across a facility that Revelation performed experiments in. 10 hours prior, Mister Sinister claims that the prototype version of the X-Virus may be located in one of Revelation's facilities. Havok tells Chris that the X-Virus killed his mother Polaris and that the X-Virus was never intended to affect mutants. Havok reveals that he was infected with the X-Virus, causing crystal to grow across his chest.

With Sinister's Six restrained, Revelation asks for answers on why Mister Sinister sent them to the laboratory. Havok reveals that Revelation created the X-Virus, which he denies. At the advice of the other Fantomex, Lady Fantomex makes Chrome think that he is melting, enabling her to free everyone as the fight continues. However, Revelation reduces Lady Fantomex to a Babel, with Chrome being forced to kill her. Black Cat is taken out by Strobe while Domino is taken out by Chrome and Dragoness. Havok sacrifices himself by unleashing his full power, leaving only crystals behind. At Sinister Vale, Venom fights its way towards Mister Sinister and reveals itself to be Polaris, who has come for what is hers. Polaris kills Sinister, then goes to visit Nanny.

Just then, Vision detects an atmospheric breach as Lord Yon the Accuser leads the Kree in invading Earth. During the fight, Moonstar uses an illusion of the Supreme Intelligence to attack Yon. Once the Kree are defeated, the Avengers meet up with Sunspot of the Seraphim who will have Thunderbird and Random take him in. Just then, Variable Man and six mutants become trapped in an evolved Technarch variant, leaving them in a metallic form. Moonstar states that no mutant will be safe from it. [52]
Scanning what became of Variable Man and the six mutants, Vision states that this is a tumor of the X-Virus that caused Variable Man and the six mutants to amplify their X-Genes before it killed their hosts. As Danielle Moonstar states that they need to pull their resources together, Revelation is seen giving orders to Sunspot to bring Moonstar and Cannonball up while the others remain. Revelation uses Vision to reboot the Technarch in the area at the cost of his life. When the X-Vengers arrive and learn what happened to Vision, Revelation claims that it was caused by some rebel humans working under President Sam Wilson. As the Seraphim are told to alert Revelation's forces to prepare for retribution. Moonstar begs Revelation to give them 24 hours to talk to Wilson as they owe him for Vision's sacrifice. Revelation only gives them three hours and states that Sunspot will go with them to serve as his spy. [53]
