And now 3K actually want to release the X-Virus for real this time, but use it for their own ends, rather than be blindsided. "The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another's throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!"

And 3K ahead of the X-Men at every step. And the future? Well, over in Avengers Armageddon, it looks like the Red Hulk has that covered too…
