8Charles Xavier is dead -- killed in the past during a time-travel accident -- and without his dream, the present has become a nightmare! Apocalypse rules with an iron fist, ruthlessly enforcing his "survival of the fittest" creed...but hidden among a downtrodden humankind are Magneto's ragtag freedom fighters: the X-Men! When Bishop, last survivor of the true Marvel Universe, explains how the world went wrong, these embittered mutants must risk everything -- and undertake a dangerous and complex quest -- to put things right!
