to stop the assassination of Senator Robert Kelly at the hands of a mutant. At
this point, reveal that your selected mutant is behind the killing (in reality it will
be the shapeshifter Mystique). Suddenly, two Sentinels loom over the horizon
and say, “Halt mutants or you will be eliminated!”

TRANSITION: BACK IN TIME!

Once you have dispatched the Sentinel force, Bishop and the rest of the crew
escort your heroes to the secret base. There, they tell you that Senator Kelly
will be killed by a mutant assassin as he tours the Metropolitan Museum of Art
following his speech.

Along with Forge, he can build you a time portal to send you back, but he asks
that you kill or subdue the mutant responsible for their timeline. Forge offers
to provide a power dampener that will step back all powers of the mutant to
keep them from causing harm (add as a d10 complication).

ACTION: STOP THE ASSASSIN!

SETTING: THE MET

PROMINENT LOCATIONS

ARMS AND ARMOR EXHIBIT

ACTION: STOP THE ASSASSIN!

Guards will report that a group of X-Men, including our assumed assassin, have
taken Senator Kelly to the roof for evacuation. Meanwhile, a fire appears to
have broken out on the ground floor in the Armory.

Mystique has taken on the form of our fall guy, and is accompanied by Destiny,
Sabretooth, and Blob. Pyro and Avalanche serve as a distraction, threatening
to bring the building down and killing Senator Kelly.

Senator Kelly begins with a d8 complication “Peril”, that must be included in all
villain dice pools. Heroes must first remove the complication, then create an
asset called “Rescue” - d12 accomplishes the rescue. Heroes may also elimi-
nate all
threats. MYSTIQUE (Raven Darkholme)

CONCLUSION: MASTERMIND

Use the conclusion to set up your next arc. Or use the following:

Magneto arrives, as does Scarlet Witch. Our heroes find themselves unable to
move. Magneto tells them that they do not understand what their interference
has done. A war is coming, and soon humanity will pay for its failure to evolve.
Wanda looks nervously at her former allies. Magneto warns that unless hu-
manity learns their lesson, there will be a day when there will be no more mu-
tants.

Turns out, Magneto combined his powers with Wanda to create life in Danger,
who was meant to take down Senator Kelly’s bodyguards so that Mystique can
do her work. He removes the Brotherhood from the premises and vanishes.
