"Dreams End, Part 1: The Past is But Prologue!"
Senator Kelly is making his run for the presidency and he is campaigning on fear... the fear of mutants, which makes him a target for the Brotherhood. But before going after Kelly, Mystique and her Brotherhood plan to test a new strain of the Legacy Virus that attacks anyone without the X-Gene, killing normal humans. After testing the new strain on the Hellfire Club, she sets her sights next on Muir Island. Professor X dispatches Rogue, Bishop and Wolverine to help those on Muir Island even as Rogue is having a hard time controlling all of the personalities she has absorbed over the years.
