Synopsis for "Mind Out of Time!"

Senator Kelly orders the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants’ arrest, but Blob just swats the arresting officer aside, and Avalanche and Pyro attack the X-Men. Another office escorts Professor X and Moira out of the Senate and then knocks them out with gas, revealing herself to be Mystique. Destiny reports an anomaly is blocking her precognitive visions, unaware it is the time-displaced Kate Pryde. 33 years in the future, the surviving X-Men break into the Sentinels’ headquarters in the Baxter Building. In the present, to protect bystanders, Storm conjures a gale that blows the X-Men and the Brotherhood out onto the National Mall. Colossus evades Blob, but an arriving U.S. Army tank blasts him with a repulsor ray. Pyro turns the flame from a soldier’s flamethrower into a fire monster and burns Wolverine until Storm disperses it with a wedge of air. While Nightcrawler grapples with a duplicate of himself, Wolverine prepares to strike with his claws, but Storm talks him down. He and Colossus work together to defeat Blob and Avalanche as Storm douses Pyro with rain. Nightcrawler’s duplicate proves to be Mystique in disguise, and he notes their shared resemblance. She says his real name, he asks who she is, and she tells him to ask his foster mother Margali Szardos before escaping. In the Baxter Building in the future, a Sentinel incinerates Wolverine, leaving only his adamantium skeleton. Storm disables the robot with lightning, but another Sentinel impales her with a spear, killing her. Enraged, Colossus hurls the robot out of the building. Rachel huddles in a nearby alley with Kate’s unconscious body and telepathically senses Colossus’s death. In the Senate in the present, Kate phases through Destiny, preventing her from killing Senator Kelly. Then, Kate abruptly leaves her younger self’s body. Sprite passes out as Storm arrives to help her. Later aboard Angel’s jet, Sprite reports having no memory of being possessed, and Angel wonders if they changed the future by saving Kelly. A month later at the White House, the U.S. President meets with Kelly and the Black King and announces Project: Widewake, a secret operation to address the mutant threat. He orders the project’s chief, Henry Peter Gyrich, to oversee the construction of new Sentinels.

Trivia

  • Doonesbury comic strip characters Rick Redfern and Joanie Caucus make cameos as journalists fleeing from the X-Men's battle with the Brotherhood.
  • The reason for Nightcrawler and Mystique's shared resemblance, and the nature of their relationship, is eventually explored in X-Men Unlimited #4 and X-Men Blue: Origins #1.
  • Although the future version of Wolverine is killed in this story, he is later resurrected twice. First, he is plucked out of time by the Timebreakers who recruit him into an all-Wolverine incarnation of the Exiles in Exiles #85. He sacrifices his life to defeat Brother Mutant and is returned to the exact moment before his death in Exiles #86. His corpse would later be collected by X-51 of Earth-9997 and resurrected using a machine invented by Merlyn in Paradise X Heralds #1.
  • Rachel's story continues in New Mutants #18, and Kate Pryde-Rasputin's fate is revealed in Excalibur #66.
