After the events of House of M, the mutant population is decimated to a merely 198 mutants and the birthrate has stopped, making the mutant race an endangered species.
In Messiah Complex, an unexpected mutant birth results in the destruction of a small town and a race to recover the baby. However, when two conflicting prophesies are revealed about the child's significance, the X-Men are betrayed from within and the child is sent through time for her own safety. With their population nearly eliminated, the X-Men relocate to San Francisco to a community eager to embrace their diversity. Declaring all mutants under their protection, the X-Men quickly become an army and are forced to flee following a conflict with the federal government in Dark Reign. Relocated to an island off the coast of California, the X-Men make a final stand when the mutant child returns in the Second Coming crossover event. |
