Don\u2019t miss a rematch decades-in-the-making when the full breadth of this iconic villain\u2019s original motives are finally revealed!<\/p>\n

X-MEN LEGENDS will be a title like no other. Revisiting key runs throughout X-Men history, X-MEN LEGENDS will feature other greats such as Chris Claremont, Fabian Nicieza, Larry Hama, Peter David, and more returning to the X-Men mythos to tie up loose ends, resolve longstanding plot danglers, and uncover long hidden truths that will shake up the past, present, and future of Marvel\u2019s mutant super heroes.<\/p>\n

Launching in February with a story by Fabian Nicieza and Brett Booth that will finally resolve the famous \u201cthird Summers brother\u201d mystery, X-MEN LEGENDS will reshape X-Men history as we know it!
