X-Men: Second Coming
"X-Men: Second Coming" is a crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics that runs through most of the X-Men comic books from March to July 2010.
Second Coming is the final part of a trilogy of stories that began with "Messiah Complex" and continued in "Messiah War". It is intended as a conclusion to Cable's efforts to save Hope Summers from Bishop, who has hunted her since her birth. The series also builds on the "Utopia", "Nation X" and "Necrosha" storylines of 2009 in the X-Men books.
The story centers on the return of Cable and Hope Summers to the present day and Bastion's final campaign to destroy the X-Men.
Cable and Hope Summers return from the future to the present, sparking action from Bastion and his allies Stephen Lang, Bolivar Trask, William Stryker, Graydon Creed and Cameron Hodge. Bastion tells them that the Mutant Messiah has returned and gives them orders to kill her.
When a firefight breaks out between Cable, Hope and the Purifiers, Wolverine and the others arrive to help. As the Alpha Team (Wolverine, X-23, Angel, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Psylocke and Magik) battle Stryker and his Purifiers, Magik makes her way toward Hope under orders from Wolverine to teleport her to Utopia. A Purifier opens a portal to Limbo that Magik cannot control and she is drawn into it by a cluster of demonic tentacles. The Purifiers also incapacitate Nightcrawler with disorienting weaponry to prevent him from teleporting. Wolverine's team find Cable and Hope and after a short confrontation with another group of Sapien League members, the X-Men and Cable decide on a diversionary tactic. Cable remains behind with some of the X-Men after learning from the New Mutants that he was being tracked, while Rogue, Nightcrawler and Hope leave.
Meanwhile, the New Mutants arrive at Cameron Hodge's facility. Hodge impales Karma's leg in the battle, leading to an eventual amputation. However, the mutants are victorious when Hodge's army of "Smileys" are killed by Warlock at the behest of Cypher. Warlock forcibly absorbs their life forces via their shared connection with the techno-organic Transmode Virus. The New Mutants warn Cyclops of Bastion's powers.
In a missile strike, Ariel is killed. Bastion targets the X-Men's teleporters. Shortly afterwards, Cyclops loses contact with the Alpha and Beta teams. The Alpha Team is attacked by armoured soldiers, and in response, Psylocke telekinetically sends X-23 to the jet and commandeer it. Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Hope arrive in Nevada. There, Bastion appears and brutally beats Rogue. He is about to kill Hope when Nightcrawler teleports between them and is impaled in the chest. Nightcrawler teleports Hope to Utopia and tells her that he believes in her before dying. When the Alpha Team returns to Utopia, Colossus wants Pixie to rescue Magik from Limbo. In Nevada, Bastion repairs himself and tells his followers to prepare for Plan B. As evening falls, Nightcrawler's funeral is held with Beast arriving to place blame on Cyclops' shoulders.
Three and a half miles away from San Francisco, the X-Club investigate an oil rig and discover a ticking timer. Suddenly, it explodes, and Cyclops is certain that the X-Men's jets, the Blackbirds, have been decimated. Donald Pierce is found standing amid the debris and rues that he will not live to witness the decimation of the mutant race. Cyclops eliminates him with an optic blast and alerts the X-Men to expect an attack. With no teleporters, no planes, and no Cerebra, Cyclops announces that they are trapped on Utopia. Meanwhile, the X-Club Science team are caught in a trap of their own as they recover from the oil rig explosion. They are stranded just outside San Francisco and Utopia.
