It is the dawn of a new age.
The tyrannical leader of the Marauders, Mister Sinister, is dead, having been slaughtered by the X-Men during an unexpected raid on Muir Island - his own base of operations.
Since then, America has changed.
A new president has been elected, and though the last was not overwhelmingly amicable towards the mutant population, this new one actively combats their human rights.
Using fear tactics and political manipulation to gain support, he has convinced Congress to pass a new directive - the Mutant Registration Act.
With their backs against the wall, and the threat of registration or facing the consequences looming over them, the mutant populace is running scared.
In addition, a new group enforcers has appeared, pressuring the mutants into either registration or submission. They are not openly backed by the government, but they are ignored - meaning their often violent methods go unchecked.
What's worse is that they are reportedly the remaining members of the Marauders, though they are now under the control of former mutant terrorist, Lady Mastermind.
Desperate to stand up against this new menace, the X-Men are rapidly trying to increase their ranks, recruiting any mutants who dares to stand up to the Registration Act. Even if they are too afraid, the X-Men still seek them out - nobody deserves to live under such persecution.[/center]
