| Professor X |  This enmity. It's unreasonable. I wasn't aware he even existed for most of his life. If anyone is to blame, it's his moth--  |
| Blindfold | Then come and tell him that. If you truly believe it. Tell him that a great telepath, given to scrying for mutants the world over, had no idea--no suspicion--of his own inconvenient legacy. Tell him you simply didn't know, Professor. Because--at the moment? It reads a lot like you didn't want to. |

Solicit Synopsis
DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR!
• Goodbye, Warren Worthington III – A.K.A ANGEL – and hello murderous winged monster. It's up to the Legionnaires to stop his rampage and figure out what's going on.
• Good news: The mystical BLACK KNIGHT has come to their aid! Bad news: Angel's not the only mutant turning into a monster. And NIGHTCRAWLER's inner, savage beast threatens to completely take control.
• Meanwhile, in Krakoa, the BANSHEE/GHOST RIDER hybrid known as VOX IGNIS senses a disturbance within the island. Could it be a coincidence that CYPHER has suddenly fallen ill? As the hostility between LEGION and PROFESSOR X grows, the stability of the island becomes less certain.Notes
Continuity Notes[]
- As revealed in X-Men: Before The Fall - Sons of X #1, when Mother Righteous used the Spirit of Variance as fuel for the Reliquary Perilous in Nightcrawlers #3, she caused the Spirit's retroactive erasure from the timeline. Consequently, Banshee never became Vox Ignis on Earth-616, with their entire existence being relegated to the Sinister timeline.
