What If? X-Men Deadly Genesis #1
In *What If? X-Men Deadly Genesis #1*, writer David Hine and artist David Yardin explore a chilling alternate path: what if Vulcan’s secret second team had survived? Years after Vulcan became Earth’s most celebrated hero, the arrival of the Silver Surfer’s shard of Krakoa forces the X-Men to confront a devastating truth—Vulcan’s rise was built on a lie. The cover by David Yardin and Terry Pallot captures the weight of this revelation, as Xavier’s judgment sends Vulcan to live among the ruins of the very past he tried to erase.

It has been years since Vulcan and his team of new X-Men defeated Krakoa and rescued Cyclops, even though the rest of the original X-Men tragically died. Vulcan has become Earth's greatest hero, idolized by millions. That is, until the Silver Surfer brings the remains of Krakoa back to Earth and the X-Men learn that Vulcan killed the original team to cover up the accidental death of Jean Grey by his hand. As punishment, Xavier banishes Vulcan to live on Krakoa to be constantly reminded of his crimes in order to teach him a lesson.
