In the shadow of HYDRA’s long-buried experiments, strange disappearances and unnatural phenomena begin to surface across the globe. Professor Xavier dispatches a newly reformed strike team: Angel, Rogue, Karma, Magik, Elixir, and Cannonball, to investigate the emergence of a powerful new threat. Their mission leads them to the Children of the Vault, a secretive group of post-human beings engineered beyond comprehension. What begins as a search for answers quickly spirals into a brutal confrontation that will test the team’s resolve and force them to confront the cost of failure. As the Children push forward with their plan to reshape the world, a familiar face returns under horrifying circumstances. For the X-Men, this fight is more than survival; it's the moment that will define who they are and what they’re willing to sacrifice.
