After Heisenberg’s transformation leaves the world in a primitive state, Logan and Professor X lead the mutant children into a forest, where they build shelter and begin organizing for survival.

Heisenberg watched Bone Woman take revenge on the former United States president’s daughter, then left Old Wolf’s universe after Gannata replied. He arrived at Gannata’s home, where she showed him a news report about mutants and said her universe also had a Phoenix girl.

• Heisenberg saw the violence spreading across Earth and watched Bone Woman attack the settlement where the former United States president’s daughter had gained control of soldiers and women.

• Heisenberg and his companions entered Caliban’s underground workplace, where older mutants recognized the White Queen and younger ones mocked the visitors.
• The White Queen used her psychic power to make the mutants in the hall return to their seats, while Azazel threatened Psylocke after she attacked Heisenberg with an energy blade.

After Heisenberg won his trust with a friendly visit and a gift for his daughter Nina, Magneto was left stunned by Heisenberg’s ability to create a living parrot.

• Magneto prepared to drive Emma, Gambit, Azazel, and Heisenberg away, but stopped when he saw Heisenberg in the car and heard his daughter upstairs.
