Siamo nel 1992 e gli X-Men vivono un periodo di pace grazie alla scelta del professor Xavier di inviare i suoi migliori studenti in missioni di soccorso internazionale. Quando lo chiama il presidente degli Stati Uniti per salvare un equipaggio intrappolato in una navicella nell'orbita terrestre, prossima a essere distrutta da una sorta di tempesta di energia, il team composto da Ciclope, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Storm e Quicksilver accetta di rischiare la vita nonostante Mystica, loro leader sul campo, consigli prudenza. Nella concitazione del soccorso, Jean rimane però indietro e finisce investita da un'energia aliena. Miracolosamente la assorbe e sopravvive, ma scoprirà di aver fatto proprio un potere spaventoso.
