History[]
The team was organized and funded by the ancient mutant Apocalypse.
In one of their earlier missions, the team came across the superhero known as Ms. Marvel. Mystique ordered Rogue to hold onto her and not let go. Ms. Marvel was permanently absorbed into Rogue putting the hero into a coma. Rogue then decided that the Brotherhood was not for her and joined the X-Men.
Years later, the team tried to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly, who was running for President of the United States of America on an anti-mutant agenda. However, they were stopped by the X-Men member Gambit using information from a time-traveller named Bishop. However, after the attempt Charles Xavier found that Magneto had kidnapped Kelly.
Alternate Version[]
In a dystopian future run by Sentinels, the Brotherhood were successful in killing Kelly. However, Sentinels took over the world devastating it nearly destroying all mutants as well as humans. This timeline was erased by the intervention of Bishop and Forge's time traveling device.
Background[]
