The year 2017 is coming, when the relationship between humans and mutants is straining like a string, becoming even more impossible than before. The two peoples never got along together, but from time to time they found compromises, because only the incredible abilities of the X-Men could be directed in a good direction, to save the Earth from other threats unbearable for ordinary inhabitants of the planet. But as time went on, mutants were feared and oppressed, forced to hide in sewers, beaten in alleys under cover of night. Time passed, nothing changed. Magneto is the strongest magnetokinetic, he raises his people from their knees, leading them to war against the oppressors. The government is terrified, they cannot cope alone with an angry crowd, so they ask for the help of the X-Men when they find out that Magneto is building a military settlement somewhere, arming himself and preparing to fight back against the offenders.
