Notable Mutant Related Events
There have been several notable events involving mutants.

Attack on Xavier's Mansion
Using Xavier learned that Kitty Pryde also had mutant powers and asked her to join them at the Xavier Mansion. She arrived and Xavier showed her around. He brought her to the control room of the where his X-Men were training and introduced her to each member. When they were finished Xavier asked the team to come up and meet her.

Nightcrawler was the first, but his appearance frightened the newcomer and she phased through the controls into the Danger Room. She is caught by Colossus and comforted by the others, except Wolverine. It seems he does not feel the young girl is up to being an X-Man.

At that time a red alarm goes off signaling a mutant threat. Cyclops, Colossus, Storm, and Dazzler got into the Blackbird while Wolverine and Nightcrawler follow in a smaller jet. Together they flew off towards the.

Unbeknownst to them, and Xavier's step-brother  wait until the team left then attack the mansion. Cerebro did fine keeping the two mutants away until Kitty got frightened and phased through the controls. Cerebro shut down and the two entered and damage the mansion.

Xavier scanned Magneto's mind and learned they were after the. He handed the circuit over to Kitty telling her to run. Juggernaut entered and attacked his step-brother while Magento went off after Kitty. After a brief chase Magneto used electrical cables to shock Kitty into dropping the circuit and phasing through the floor. He picked up the circuit and the two villains left, leaving the mansion heavily damaged.

Deep Space Observatory Hostage Crisis
At the Deep Space Observatory Pyro and Blob had hostages while searching for coordinates for the. The X-Men arrived and Colossus attempted to attack Blob without success. Pyro attacked the heroes but Storm countered with wind. When the fires died down there were no sign of either villain. Police showed up outside so the heroes left before they are blamed for the attack.

Redirecting the Scorpio Comet
The X-Men arrived back at the mansion and pulled Xavier out from under a pile of rubble. Kitty woke up to find Nightcrawler staring down at her. She freaked out but was comforted by Dazzler. Kitty got into an argument with Wolverine before wondering where Xavier was. Xavier showed that he was alright.

Xavier then used his powers to find discover what Magneto was doing. On Asteroid M Magneto had successfully installed the Mutant Power Circuit and was diverting the Scorpio Comet towards Earth. It would have killed most of the human race so that mutants could rule. The power of the energy involved knocked Xavier to the ground.

Xavier told his X-Men of Magneto's plan and that they had to stop it. Kitty wanted to come but both Wolverine and Xavier agreed that she should stay as she had not been trained yet. Kitty refused to be left behind and followed.

Battle of Asteroid M
The Blackbird made its way to Asteroid M while listening to a news broadcast on the comet. The X-Men got into and found an airlock. After they were gone Xavier asked Kitty to come out, knowing she's been there the entire time. Kitty insisted that she go along, as it's her planet to.

Cyclops blasted his way through the airlock and tells Storm to help keep the atmosphere in while Wolverine tracked down Magneto.

The X-Men encountered Pyro so Dazzler decided to take him on. The X-Men went on without her until Toad surprised and attacks Wolverine. The other X-Men continued on only to run into the Juggernaut. Colossus took him on while Cyclops and Nightcrawler continued on. They encountered the White Queen who battled with Cyclops. Nightcrawler went on by himself and teleported past the Blob.

He found Magneto who only taunted him. He tried to destroy Nightcrawler but Kitty phased up through the floor to stop him. Magneto was further distracted when the dragon, a pest aboard the asteroid, bit his ankle. Magneto accidentally broke the circuit, which meant that nothing could change the comet's course. However, Xavier told Nightcrawler to complete the circuit while Kitty pushed Magneto back onto the platform. The resulting energies pushed away the Scorpio Comet, but sent it towards Asteroid M.

However, Nightcrawler must have continued completing the circuit or else the comet would head back towards Earth. Magneto left with the Brotherhood back to Earth. Nightcrawler told Kitty to leave, as does Xavier since he had a plan. She grabbed the dragon and headed back towards the Blackbird. Xavier kept the Blackbird on a viewscreen that Nightcrawler can see. Xavier told him that he must teleport aboard at the very last second. Unfortunately Nightcrawler waited too long and the comet hit the asteroid.

Luckily Nightcrawler did teleport away but into the vacuum of space. He was entering the atmosphere and would have burnt up. The X-Men hurried to get the grappling beam on him. Nightcrawler disappeared just before the beams could latch onto him. They heard a banging noise from the back and went to investigate to find Nightcrawler alive and well.

Kitty thanked Nightcrawler for his heroism. Storm asked Wolverine if he was wrong. He said that Kitty is still no X-Man. Not yet anyways.
