Marvel’s most dysfunctional family is getting twisted and tortured again after a major revelation in Avengers and X-Men: AXIS #7.
Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom’s inversion spell to stop the wrath of the Red Onslaught (Red Skull with the power of Professor X’s brain) worked but the spell inverted the moral compass of heroes and villains in the battle zone.
Inverted X-Men allied under Apocalypse have taken over Manhattan. Inverted Avengers are ready to kill their enemies. Only Steve Rogers and inverted villains are the last hope. Magneto is leading the bad guys gone good (including Carnage and Sabretooth.)
Magneto and Quicksilver’s manipulations in House of M lead to Scarlet Witch declaring, “No More Mutants.”
The X-Men are currently caught up in AXIS, feeling the impact of the Death of Wolverine and The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier with The Black Vortex and Secret Wars on the horizon in 2015.
The mutants are under the leadership of Editor Mike Marts who ran the X-Office under two influential events of the past: M-Day and Decimation (when Scarlet Witch declared No More Mutants) wiping out the mutant gene and sending the race to the edge of extinction.
