But now she’s change into conscious of a lethal hazard on one other Earth in the multiverse… an issue even the Phoenix can’t clear up. Only the unique X-Men can. Why? Because the issue IS them. On this world, the unique X-Men grew up and took over the world, amassing super energy… a lot that they’ll quickly be turning their consideration to different realities.
Old Lady Phoenix selected these specific unique X-Men as a result of they’ve already been to their future and met their grownup selves (in the All-New X-Men sequence that started in 2012) in order that they have some expertise with this kind of factor. It’s as much as them to discover a technique to both persuade their older selves that they’re making a horrible mistake or one way or the other defeat these way more highly effective variations of them. Basically, it’s about your youthful, idealistic self coming into battle along with your older, jaded self who’s made compromises and given up goals in order to outlive and do what they assume is greatest, even when which means making arduous decisions alongside the best way.
