“Weren’t you two looking for me?”
“What’s wrong—don’t recognize me anymore?”
Alex’s voice rang out, laced with a cold, mocking edge as he stood behind the two men in the hospital lobby.
His eyes locked on the man with the Mohawk and his partner in bl...
After Alex vaporized the three attack helicopters, no more enemies came.
Whether it was because the people behind the assault were intimidated, or for some other reason, the battlefield finally fell into silence.
Alex stood off to the side, arms casually crossed, calmly watc...
Whup-whup-whup!
The quiet of the plaza was suddenly shattered by the thunderous roar of rotor blades cutting through the air.
Lying injured on the ground, Liz instinctively looked up. Her face tensed with anxiety.
Above them, three armed helicopters circled over the s...
Silence.
The entire area went dead quiet.
So quiet that every breath became audible—harsh, ragged, and trembling.
Everyone at the scene was frozen in place, eyes wide in absolute horror as they stared at Alex, as if they’d just seen a ghost.
They gasped for...
Even though Alex was still puzzling over the woman's identity, this was clearly not the time to get lost in speculation.
The “female pyro” looked like she was in terrible shape.
That was a rocket, after all.
Yes, she’d managed to survive the blast—but she was ...
27th Street, New York City.
Fountain Park.
Once a bustling public space filled with laughter and tourists, the park now sat under an eerie silence. Not a single civilian remained.
The entire area had been locked down—not just by local police, but by the military.
The mood in the room shifted instantly—heavy and tense.
Aside from Alex, the other mutants were visibly shaken by Magneto’s sudden declaration of war.
Even Sebastian Shaw, the notoriously radical Black King who’d once shared Erik’s genocidal views, had always operate...
“A new day begins.”
Warm, gentle sunlight filtered through the window, falling across Alex’s face.
His eyes slowly opened, and he let out a long, satisfying stretch.
There was no denying it—waking up naturally, without alarms or chaos, felt amazing.
He thre...
Telekinesis.
Yes—telekinesis!
The moment the thought hit him, Alex’s entire face lit up with excitement.
If his spiritual power—now no longer intangible but something he could feel and control—could interact with physical matter…
Then couldn’t he us...
After Alex’s words, the group of mutants exchanged looks. The atmosphere quickly turned serious.

“I guess… there’s no going back for us, is there?”
The one who spoke was a young man wearing a visor that covered his eyes.
Alex immediately recog...
Three Mile Island.
Zzzzt!
After vaporizing the final lab, Alex finally retracted his heat vision.
He casually strolled out of the ruined facility and into one of the adjacent corridors.
There, waiting quietly, was a jeep.
Without saying a word, Alex slid...
To be honest, Alex hadn’t expected it.
His heat vision—out of all things—had triggered a reaction in that strange stone.
From the way it responded, it was almost like his beam had activated it.
Now that it was clear this wasn’t some ordinary rock, Alex wisely ...
Stryker is dead.
This secret base is destroyed.
There was no room for doubt anymore.

“Yes, I was the one who saved you.”
Alex’s voice echoed across the hall, calm and steady.
“That’s not in question.”
“But I’m not stopping h...
Splash!
On the rocky shoreline outside the secret base, a small, inconspicuous spray of seawater shot up—
Then, a head emerged from beneath the waves.
Cautiously, it scanned the area. After confirming the coast was clear, the figure climbed ashore.
It was Wol...
Hssst!
Just one look from Alex, and Stryker felt a chill run down his spine. His entire body shivered involuntarily, the hairs on his arms standing up one by one.
And that was just from looking at him through a surveillance feed.
From the moment Alex had appeared, he ...
“Has Weapon X-11 been activated yet!?”
Stryker swallowed hard and immediately snatched up his radio, barking into it toward the lab side.
“Sir, activation successful!”
Hearing the response, Stryker finally exhaled in relief.
As long as Weapon X-11 was u...
Among the group, only Silver Fox wore a look of deep concern.
She didn't particularly care whether Alex was the person Stryker had spoken of. All she knew was that this young man was about to face something extremely dangerous.
The people beside her were by no means saints.<...
“Sir!”
Two armed guards snapped to attention and saluted as Stryker approached the secure checkpoint.
Stryker didn’t waste a single word.
“Open the door.”
“Yes, sir!”
One of them quickly keyed in the override. The thick metal door slid open, and St...
Stryker remembered Alex all too well—painfully well.
Even now, he still hadn't recovered from what that "monster" had done to him.
It was this man who had ruined Stryker’s plans again and again, becoming a relentless thorn in his side.
Worse still, he had thoroughly h...
A pitch-black night.
A worn-down aircraft glided silently through the night sky, skimming above a glittering metropolis before entering the stillness of the vast ocean.
“We’re almost there, right?”
Wolverine still sat stiffly in his seat, gripping the armrests l...
What?!
Gambit's eyes flew wide open, his face filled with disbelief.
That young man had taken his attack—head-on—with nothing but his bare body, and didn't even flinch?
He looked utterly relaxed, completely unbothered.
How is that possible?!
Didn't he ju...
“No, Raven, Emma, Vanessa—you three have more important work to do.”
Facing the enthusiastic volunteers among his fellow mutants, Alex simply shook his head and turned them all down.
“Keep this base secure. This is our headquarters.”
“Alex, you’re overthinki...
That said, whether it was Erik or Charles, both had to admit—if it was Alex, they could accept it.
In fact, they each breathed a subtle sigh of relief.
At least it wasn’t Erik or Charles who took the boy. That would’ve been the worst-case scenario.
For Erik, though ...
Once upon a time, Charles, Erik, and Alex had been the closest of friends and comrades-in-arms. They trusted one another, fought side by side, and together thwarted Shaw's conspiracy.
Back then, though their beliefs differed, they supported each other and pressed forward as a team...
Harlem Avenue.
Once a run-down, nondescript street—just as dirty and chaotic as the rest of Harlem—it had now transformed into something of a scenic attraction.
The cold, concrete street had been overtaken by greenery—vines and branches spread out in all directions, cr...
November 29.
It had been a week since Smiley Boy delivered that infamous, self-contradictory speech.
Just like Hank had “predicted,” the situation for mutants hadn’t improved at all.
Regardless of who started the conflict, once a grudge was formed and hatred planted, it was...
S.H.I.E.L.D. Base.
Bang!
The door to Peggy Carter's office was slammed open. A figure barged in, clearly in a rush.
Peggy, still on the phone, glanced up, saw who it was, and sighed. She quickly ended the call and looked at the intruder, helpless.
“Stark, is ...
"What?!"
"How can you possibly be this strong?!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Marcus finally screamed, his voice full of disbelief and shock.
His eyes widened in sheer horror as he stared at Alex like he'd just seen a ghost.
God help him—Marcus had neve...
"What?!"
"So fast?!"
Elder Amelia , who had been watching with a face full of concern just moments ago, was now frozen in utter disbelief.
Alex caught her completely off guard.
Even Viktor—who was always as expressionless as a stone—was finally shaken, his ...
To be honest, Alex wasn’t the slightest bit intimidated by Marcus.
Admittedly, Marcus was undeniably the strongest powerhouse in Alexander’s clan.
Among all the vampire legends Alex had ever come across, Marcus stood out as a true titan.
Even in Marvel’s major v...
