As Wolverine searches for clues to his origin, Stryker puts in to motion his anti-mutant program - launching an attack on Xavier's mansion. Magneto, newly escaped from his plastic prison, proposes a partnership with the X-men to combat their common and formidable enemy:Stryker. With the fates of Xavier, mankind - and mutantkind - in their hands, the X-men face their most dangerous mission ever.
