"Second Genesis"

It's the introduction of new X-Men, called by Xavier one by one: Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, and Thunderbird, with the already known Banshee and Sunfire. Cyclops tells the new X-Men about what happened to the old team. Cyclops, Angel, Iceman, Marvel Girl, Lorna Dane and Havok ( Beast had left X-Men before the mission) had discovered a new mutant menace on Krakoa, an island in the South Pacific. When they arrived, something strange happened and the only thing Cyclops remembered is that he awakes without his powers inside the X-Jet, going back on auto-pilot to the mansion.

With Cyclops as their leader, the new team are head to Krakoa. Cyclops divides the group into four pairs, and they all face different problems after landing: Cyclops and Thunderbird have to defeat a living tree, Storm and Colossus have to destroy a living avalanche of rocks, Banshee and Wolverine battle against two giant lobsters, and Nightcrawler and Sunfire are attacked by giant birds. They all succeed on their battles and go to an old temple in the middle of the island where they find the rest of the X-Men - Iceman, Marvel Girl, Angel, Lorna Dane and Havok - trapped in strange roots. After the old team is released, Havok tells Cyclops that the island is alive and that it wants to drain their energy and feed itself. That's why Krakoa released Cyclops, to go get more mutants. The X-Men start to use all their powers on the Island, but with no effect. Then, Professor Xavier mentally appears, and uses his mental powers on Krakoa, while he tells Cyclops his plan. Storm starts to use all her powers to drain the energy of lightening on Lorna Dane, who starts to accumulate the magnetic power. The rain let the Island grow bigger and send Xavier astral form back to the mansion. Then, Cyclops and Havok use their powers on Lorna and the magnetic waves reach Earth's interior, causing the island of Krakoa to erupt to space. In the locale where Krakoa used to be, a giant whirlpool appears, jeopardizing the X-Men. Iceman creates an ice globe surrounding them and they manage to escape safely.

At the end, Angel says to everyone: "What are we going to do with 13 X-Men?"

"Call Him...Cyclops!"

"I, the Iceman"

"The Female of the Species!"
