About this Collection

X-Men: Deadly Genesis collects the 2006 limited series that delves into the hidden history of the X-Men, revealing a forgotten team of mutants who were sent on a disastrous mission before the original five X-Men. Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Trevor Hairsine, the story follows Cyclops and the surviving X-Men as they uncover the truth behind a mysterious new mutant with ties to the past, while grappling with the legacy of Professor Xavier's secrets. This volume features key appearances by Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Colossus, and explores the fallout of a tragedy that reshaped the team's dynamics.

In "Part 1 of 6," Ed Brubaker and Trevor Hairsine kick off a gripping X-Men saga with a high-stakes confrontation that begins when a Sentinel is swiftly dismantled by Vulcan. With Cyclops using the chaos to send Rachel back to the mansion for help, the real shock comes when Xavier arrives on Muir Island—only to be met with the devastating revelation that Vulcan is not just a foe, but Scott’s long-lost brother, tied to a forgotten team of X-Men who died on Krakoa. The story unfolds with tense anticipation as the X-Men close in, and the truth of their past begins to unravel—leaving even the strongest among them questioning everything they thought they knew. Cover by Marc Silvestri and Joe Weems.
