“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” - Hunter S. Thompson
Something of a mutant utopia has been discovered - a place where mutants and humans seem to be living in their own little paradise. This place is known as the island nation of Genosha. On the surface, Genosha seems like a beautiful place, where the mutant and non-mutant populace has come to peacefully co-exist. Under the surface, however, things are about to boil over...
Weapon X - those lovelies who work for a multi-national militia had long ago discovered that a select few - what have come somewhat recently to be known of as 'mutants' - have an accelerated healing ability, and have been used by the Weapon X program to test a virus. They believe they've perfected the strain that isolates the Mutant genome, and targets that population. Unfortunately, their two star lab rats have been MIA from the Weapon X program for quite some time, and a witch hunt of sorts has been set out.
In the meantime, on US soil, the newly elected President has fallen ill, and some speculate that he may not even survive long enough to be inaugurated. What the general population doesn't know is that the newly elected President is a latent non-visible mutant; nobody is certain if he even has any sort of 'gift'. Either way, with the release of a few infected mutants from Genosha - carefully selected infected mutants - into the American population, with the hopes of spreading the virus among mutants, the President has become infected. It was an unforeseen SNAFU in the plan, but has actually fueled the beginnings of a civil war between Homo Sapiens and Homo Sapiens Superior.
While the war that Eric Lensherr had always alluded to may be on the horizon, the X-Men continue to stry to train the students in the safe use of their abilities. However, at the school, it's now a matter of training the older students to be on the defensive. The X-Men aren't about killing, and never have been; that was never Charles Xavier's intention. Unfortunately, there will likely be inevitable casualties.
