What happens when a familiar hero wakes up in a world that is both completely different and eerily familiar? That’s the question at the heart of Mutant X #1, where Alex Summers—better known as Havok—finds himself trapped in an alternate universe, taking the place of a version of himself who just died. This new world is darker, more twisted, and filled with dangerous surprises—including a terrifying version of the X-Men known as The Six.
Join Jesse and Chris as they dive into the Mutant X universe, exploring its origins, the shocking transformations of classic Marvel characters, and how this story gave Havok one of the most unique arcs in X-Men history. They break down the wild new takes on familiar heroes, from Bloodstorm (a vampiric Storm) to The Fallen (a demonic Archangel), and discuss how writer Howard Mackie and artist Tom Raney reimagined the Marvel Universe in unexpected ways.
How does Mutant X stack up against other alternate-reality stories? Why was it originally planned as a 12-issue run but ended up lasting much longer? And what makes this book a cult classic among X-Men fans? Find out in this action-packed episode of Unspoken Issues!
