New X-Men

Riot at Xavier’s, Part 1: Teaching Children About Fractals

After being assigned to a "special class” of students at the Institute, Xorn takes the group into the woods outside the campus ground for a journey into nature.

Back in the Institute, Xavier finds himself at odds with the young prodigy, Quentin Quire, who has taken to wearing a politically and socially provocative outfit and who has become belligerent in his demeanor. Also on Xavier’s mind is the recent discovery of an inhaler, containing the mutant drug, Hypercortisone D, also called "Kick.”

Having developed a following due to his actions, Quentin attires his new gang in clothes matching his, and dispenses the "Kick” drug. Journeying out into the night, they find and assault the street gang that killed Jumbo Carnation, killing several of them.

The next day, Xavier conducts a telepathic meeting with his senior staff, where they discuss how to handle Quentin and the mutant drug.

Out in the forest, Xorn continues his lessons on nature, while Angel and Beak sneak away for private time. All are unaware that they are being watched.

In the city, Quentin has convinced the rest of this group to get tattoos: an omega symbol with an X below it. Explaining to them that they are the next generation - the improved version, he announces that they are the new X-Men.
