And then, since the other storyline it is kind of taking from is "Days of Future Past", they could just own it by doing that and getting bleaker and bleaker until Future Hiro of the Soulpatch does his Kitty Pryde and jumps back to start the storyline.
Ahh, when X-Men was still coherent within one book and you didn't have to go broke to keep track of storylines... (I came in to X-Men at the beginning of the Proteus storyline, and spent oodles of money getting back-issues back to the start of the New X-Men -- stuck with it for a few years until they started spreading out into X-Everything and you had to buy 30 comics a month just to keep track of one storyline... These were some of my FAVOURITE books. Of course, the Byrne/Austin team didn't hurt, either!)
