## Plot

### X1: Mutants Rising

When Mutants start appearing, the world goes crazy. Some people fear them, some people want to be them, everyone is confused. After a mutant named Avalanche causes a huge Earthquake in Australia resulting in thousands of deaths, the Governments of the world begin to collect mutants. Those collected include; Darwin, Avalanche, Wolverine, Storm, Rouge, Havok and Cyclops, Polaris among others. They are experimented on and tortured to find out what causes them to be mutants, after experimenting enough they find that all humans have an X gene which was partially activated by the Snap in 2018 then was fully activated in some people when Scarlet Witch's power overloaded in 2023. While the experiments go on, Stryker draws up plans to inject a adimantium into Wolverine but it never comes through. (Apocalypse will do this for Wolverine in X2) instead, Wolverine will act as an antagonist who pursue the group when they go on the run.

The mutants who aren't caught; Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, Cyclops, Essex, John Grey, Pyslocke, Hank McCoy (who is later caught when they try to help Pyslocke) and Wanda Maximoff form a team to help break them out once they've all come together. When they fail to stop another abduction, they are forced to go on the run. Wolverine, under mind control, stalks them and is partially freed by John Grey who taps into his head. Eventually, they find out the location of the prisoners and they head to it to rescue the mutants and present to the world what they are doing to mutants.

When at the base; it is revealed Stryker has managed to use Fear Conditioning to manipulate several mutants into acting as his slaves. They fight their way through the base, Magneto needs to deal with losing his sister Polaris to Stryker's manipulation. Once the mutants are freed, several help the rest escape while Storm and Havok join the group. They fight through the base and eventually find Stryker who has been working with a scientist to create robots which can combat even the strongest mutants, the newly formed "X-Men" fight these while Magneto goes after Stryker. Eventually, the battle rises above ground to the streets of Los Angeles where the public witness the fight. Eventually, John Grey discovers he is not just a a telepath but also has very strong Telekinesis. He manages to destroy the prototypes in front of the world. Magneto subdues Stryker and prepares to kill him but cannot bring himself, Stryker takes the opportunity to shoot at John who deflects the bullet in shock. The bullet lands in Charles' spine and he is rushed to hospital. In hospital, Charles declares his multi-million dollar estate can be a home to any mutants whose families reject them. The team in the end consists of; Scarlet Witch, Storm, Pyslocke, Essex, Beast, Wolverine and Magneto with Professor X overseeing the team. John, now going by the name Marvel Boy, Cyclops, Shadowcat, Iceboy, Speed and Wiccan become students at Charles new school for mutants.
