Age of X: Alpha (2011)

Mutantkind is enjoying what appears to be a peaceful night, one where they are not under attack at Fortress X. Several of them are gathered around a bonfire and they reveal some stories of their past.

Scott Summers was controlled by Arcade, the warden of the Alcatraz Penitentiary, and was the unwilling executioner of mutant prisoners. One day, he managed to free himself, kill Arcade, set the remaining prisoners free, and escape.

Cannonball reveals how he and his sister Husk could not save the rest of the Guthrie family, all of whom were killed during the movement against carriers of the X-gene.

Kavita Rao explains how she had developed a cure to remove mutant powers with Dr Richard Palance. She realized her mistake too late, as Palance was going to release the cure into the water supply. Wolverine found them, and they discovered the only way to destroy the virus would be for it to be injected into Wolverine, who would metabolize it, unless the cure overwhelmed his healing factor quickly enough to kill it. Kavita injected all of the cure into Wolverine, until Dr Palance attempted to stop her. She injected the final vial of cure into Palance instead. Wolverine survived the experience, but Kavita cannot decide whether she saved or destroyed Wolverine.

Toad reveals how he and several other mutants were trapped in the Chrysler Building which was surrounded by Colonel Creed and his forces, preventing the mutants from escaping to Canada. Magneto and Mystique then arrived on scene. Magneto lifted the entire building and several surrounding it to safety, rescuing the mutants inside. Following that, Magneto built the fortress, and then all of mutantkind came here.

Suddenly, the mutants get word that an attack is coming, and they leap into action.
