Okay quick recap time: there was a period in comics history, however implausible it seems, that all the heroes were publicly shamed and the world went mad and decided that the Green Goblin aka Norman Osborn can and should be in-charge of security for the world instead of heroes like SHIELD, Avengers, Tony Stark ... as such, Norman started assembling his own team of heroes. HAMMER replaced SHIELD. He has his own Avengers team and somewhere along the way, he decided to have his own X-Men
Who comprises this team? Mystique - simply because no one is ever sure of her agenda as she switches sides all the time (stupid choice we know), Mimic - who is never really a bad guy and until now still plays the insecure but powerful chap, Dark Beast - psychotic biologist who loves to experiment on living subjects and torturing anything that can scream and bleed and Omega - the guy who woke up one day to discover he can such the mutant abilities off of anyone and wield that ability (and in short he is even scared of his own shadow) ... Norman is destined to fail ...
Anyway, this opening book has a unique scenario with a lot of regulars chanting a phrase and walking towards the edge of a cliff kinda like those lemmings of old. So what is really going on? That's what Norman wants to find out
But while this is supposedly the thrust of the matter, the X-Men all have other worries and that is basically what Norman has over each of them to control them. Naturally especially Mystique wants to find a way to be rid of that control and play her own game and we just know that it is going to come to a boil in a matter of issues
As for the good guy who is coming to oppose them? Shocker of shockers, Nate Grey aka X-Man. But why??? Well, we have to buy the next issue to find out
