Charles Xavier started to finish recruiting members for his elite mutant strike force the X-Men. Ororo Monroe was chosen as leader. Robots known as Sentinels were shown off at a rally but a mutant in the crowd Kitty Pryde was detected. The X-Men saved Kitty. She had nothing left so Xavier ordered for her to join his school. Kitty accepted and Storm acted as a motherly figure for her. The Sentinels were unleashed into the world and the X-Men were there to combat them every time however one Sentinel adapted. He developed a hatred of mutants specifically his creator Bolivar Trask. This Sentinel called himself Bastion and he attempted to kill Trask. The X-Men argued about whether they should save Trask or not since he single handedly threatened their entire race. Storm believed in mercy and redemption and she managed to convince her peers to follow her orders. Bastion attacked the mansion crippling Charles Xavier in revenge for the X-Men saving Trask. He worked on a project called the Master Mold. Kitty convinced Storm to let her join the X-Men and Storm was desperate. The X-Men decided to lead one final stand against Bastion managing to destroy it but Bastion transported its consciousness into many other Sentinels. Large amounts of the mutant population where wiped out and the X-Men mourned the losses. Storm delivered a speech on live television calling out mutant hating humans for their hypocrisy and Trask was arrested.
