Synopsis:
Thirty-three years in the future, North America is controlled by Sentinels; mutants are either dead or interned and a world war looms around the corner. The few surviving X-Men plan to change history by having the telepathic Rachel Summers exchange the psyche of grown-up Kate Pryde with that of her younger self. In the present, Kitty Pryde succeeds at her first Danger Room test, only to faint a moment later. When she awakes again, she tells the X-Men she is the adult Kate. She explains that she’s from a dystopic future and that the only way to save the world is to prevent the murder of Senator Robert Kelly at the mutant hearing in Washington today. The X-Men are unsure whether to believe Kate but Xavier is at the hearing as well and only he can check the veracity of Kate’s words. In the meantime, the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, under the leadership of Mystique, prepares to strike at Kelly. The X-Men join Xavier in Washington and, a moment later, the Brotherhood appears, intending to kill Kelly. The X-Men move to oppose them. In the future, the X-Men have escaped the internment camp, suffered two fatalities and plan to a strike at the Baxter Building – the Sentinels’ headquarters.
Notes:
- Obviously, there later were some changes in the DoFP timeline, as New Mutants #18 revealed that Xavier hadn’t been killed with Kelly, but was slain years later, before the eyes of a young Rachel Summers.
- With the exception of old time villain, Blob, and Mystique, who first appeared in the pages of Ms. Marvel, all the Brotherhood members appear for the first time.
- While Rachel’s last name isn’t given in this storyline, she is later revealed as Rachel Summers, daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey. That revelation also proved that the DoFP future is an alternate timeline.
