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.

Marvel reveals the next almost all-new, all-different lineup for Uncanny Avengers.

The book launched in the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men with Captain America and Wolverine forming a Unity squad including Thor, Havok, Rogue and Scarlet Witch. Wasp, Wonder Man and Sunfire later joined the roster.

Now we know a very different team lineup will form in the aftermath of AXIS.

Veterans Rogue and Scarlet Witch will be joined by Sam Wilson (the new Captain America) Vision, Brother Voodoo, Quicksilver, Vision and Sabretooth as reported by ComicBook.com.

Victor Creed may still be “inverted” after the events of AXIS and playing the hero or anti-hero. Marvel heroes and villains will change roles as a results of the Red Onslaught – the Red Skull armed with the telepathic power of Professor X. Continue reading UNCANNY AVENGERS After AXIS
