Title:
Uncanny X-Men (2001)
Synopsis:
SFX, Part 1
In the port of Oakland, the controversial artist known as Guy DeMondue picks up the cargo that will be utilized as the centerpiece of his newest art installation: three decommissioned Sentinel units. DeMondue even enlists the aid of Simon Trask, hiring him to inspect the robots.
In the outskirts of San Francisco, the X-Men are beginning to settle down in their new headquarters and even offer Sadie, the city’s mayor, a brief tour of the premises. However, the team is shocked to find out about Guy’s art exhibition, the concept of which they find garish and even appalling. Subsequently, the team attends the exhibition, where they easily fit in with the rest of the attendants, most of them playfully dressed up as members of the X-Men, paying tribute to the “mutant kitsch” theme of Guy’s art installation. Things take a turn for the worse, though, when an apparently re-powered Magneto suddenly appears and activates the Sentinels. In the ensuing fight, the X-Men manage to take down the robots, while Magneto is revealed to be faking his powers thanks to the specially-designed costume he dons. Magneto then vanishes.
Belatedly, the team realizes their fight with Magneto served as a distraction, while the High Evolutionary proceeded to do something unknown to the Dreaming Celestial that towers over Golden Gate Park. Later, Magneto and the High Evolutionary discuss their plans in a spacecraft floating in outer space.
A few days later, Cyclops, his message telepathically transmitted by White Queen to every corner of the planet, invites every remaining mutant to come and join them in San Francisco, in their new mutant sanctuary.
Meanwhile, Wolverine goes to visit Guy DeMondue, hoping to extract some answers from him, only to find the artist murdered.
A few weeks later, Pixie and a friend of hers exit a nightclub, unaware that they are being stalked by a team of mutant-haters, who don the helmets of the Hellfire Club soldiers but prefer to call themselves “the Hellfire Cult.”
