PROFESSOR X
Cassandra Nova Xavier is the long-lost twin sister of the X-Men’s founder, Charles Xavier. Like her brother, Cassandra possesses incredibly powerful telepathic abilities, and also demonstrates telekinesis, as well as being able to create solid objects and lifeforms of pure psionic energy. She has recently adopted the Xavier Institute and the X-Men as her own, fully assuming the mantle of ‘Professor X’ and moving forward with her master plan – to finally make the dream of peace between man and mutant as much of a reality as possible.
UNCANNY X-MEN
They are the heroes of the future – mutants, the next step in human evolution – who will make the world safe for all living creatures, and do it with style! Under the guidance of Cassandra Nova, the group has become a media phenomenon and the world’s most-loved superheroes. Among their ranks they boast Cyclops, Archangel, Storm, Banshee, Colossus, Dazzler, Havok, Kwannon, Bishop, Domino, Moonstar, Skin, Bolt, Sunpyre, Cameron Dalin, and Ecstasy.
X-MEN
Unbeknownst to the world, they are the true X-Men, the free minds who may be the only hope in bringing down Cassandra Nova and putting an end to her devious machinations once and for all. By luck they evaded the brainwashing that Nova’s conducted on their not-so-fortunate teammates, thanks to the telepath in their midst. Led by the man called Cable, this renegade faction of X-Men consists of Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Fantomex, Deathbird, and Proteus.
CHARLES XAVIER
Also known as Professor X, he is the man behind the dream of peaceful coexistence between human and mutant, and the founder of the X-Men. A telepath of the highest order, Charles disappeared after being cured of the Legacy Virus, and was recently found to have been recuperating in the company of Magneto, with whom he is rebuilding the island nation of Genosha. Since joining with his old friend, Charles has come to adopt a more aggressive stance for his dream. Now, he finds himself facing an enemy unlike any other – his own sister.
MAGNETO
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr is a man who will do whatever it takes to save his people from certain doom. Using his ability to control the forces of magnetism, Magneto has been a thorn in the side of the X-Men since his public debut. In recent times, his views have changed, and during a long stretch in hiding with his old friend Charles Xavier, Magneto has come to understand a more peaceful resolution to the human/mutant conflict in helping to reform the island of Genosha. However, all that work is threatened now, with Cassandra’s sights set on bringing down Magneto once and for all.
AVENGERS
From overseas to deep space, the Avengers have answered the call of duty wherever they are needed and have become the most beloved heroes not just in America, but in the world. Now they find themselves facing an enemy that may finally bring the heroes to their end, but what connection do the new Masters of Evil have to Cassandra Nova Xavier? Led by Captain America, the Avengers are Black Widow, Iron Man, Warbird, Giant-Man, Wasp, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Vision, She-Hulk, Falcon, Ant-Man, and Jack of Hearts.
MASTERS OF EVIL
A notorious supervillain organization, the roster of this team has gone through many changes over the years. Currently run cooperatively by the trio of Graviton, Klaw, and an all-new Crimson Cowl, the Masters have recently launched a brutal assault on the city of Los Angeles. Among the new, seemingly unstoppable ranks are Armadillo, Grey Gargoyle, Whirlwind, Avalanche, Sandman, Living Laser, Blizzard, Black Mamba, and many more!
