After the events of Alcatraz island, all seemed lost. Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, and Scott Summers were presumed dead, the students were scattered, some taking the ‘cure’ being administered, and the school seemed on the brink of closing.

While some politicians continued to tout the MRA, enough opposition kept the Act from ever fully coming into light.

After effects were varied, with some of those who were powerless in the face of their mutations having limited bursts of new found control, while others were unable to reach the full potential of the powers they had once had access to.
Licking it’s wounds after the defeat at Alcatraz, the Brotherhood disbanded. It took time, but Pyro managed to find the Toad, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, and Blob. They reformed the Brotherhood, and gained new members. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were amongst the ranks but soon left to follow Mystique, who had been scorned by the Brotherhood during her depowered status.
