Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 3)

The mutant called Animax confronts her father, a coach at a high school in Tempe, Arizona. She is angry at him for abandoning her and releases large monsters that start attacking his students. The seven young mutants formerly of the New Xavier School – Triage, Hijack, Goldballs, Benjamin Deeds, Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe Cuckoo – arrive and start to take control of the situation. The Cuckoos try to telepathically restrain Animax, but they are knocked out by a large monster. Goldballs is being filmed on a smartphone as he releases his gold balls at the monsters, annoying his teammates as he keeps shouting “Goldballs” all the time. Benjamin tries to calm Animax down, using his power to appear to her as herself, when she is suddenly struck in the head by one of Goldballs’ gold balls.

The monsters are defeated, and while Goldballs revels in the defeat of Animax, dancing and blasting off more gold balls while dancing – and still being filmed - Hijack and Celeste tallk to the students and explain that they are a new group of heroes. The young mutants soon enter the old unused Hellfire Club building, deciding to live in it for a while.

The next morning, Goldballs wakes to find that his recent exploits of his power have gone viral on the internet – people love him. He phones his parents, only to discover that the media are already at his parents’ home, interviewing them. He tells his mother not to reveal anything about him, but it’s too late, she already has.

Goldballs is propelled to stardom, appearing on talkshows and magazine covers. He battles numerous villains, and his parents continue to be interviewed as well. However, in one interview, his father outs Goldballs as a mutant. After succesfully taking down Klaw, Goldballs and his teammates, who have been dubbed the Hero Squad, are attacked by a mob who hurl anti-mutant abuse, and glass bottles, one of which strikes Goldballs in the face and cuts into his neck. The furious Stepford Cuckoos start to shut the mind down of the woman who threw the bottle, while Triage and Benjamin rush to help Goldballs. Hijack deals with the police who arrive on scene, aiming their guns at the mutants. Hijack snaps the Cuckoos out of their state, and they release the woman.

Soon after, the Hero Squad arrived at the Jean Grey School. Goldballs is alive, but they realize they weren’t ready to be super heroes – or perhaps the world wasn’t ready for them. Celeste asks Storm if she is accepting applications, and Storm welcomes the students in.
