Here's the twist: A new evil forces an uneasy alliance between X-Men and The Brotherhood. Diabolical Apocalypse is determined to create a new super-mutant race, and he, along with his minions, have overrun The Brotherhood's refuge. In desperation, Magneto frees Professor Xavier from prison, offering a temporary truce to take on this new threat.
