DNX is the new X-Men/Fantastic Four event of 2026 from Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini getting teased on Free Comic Book Day, as it deals with the spread of the X-Virus. Remember that from Age Of Revelation?

The original X-Virus, when released in the Age of Revelation, killed most of the population….

… and those who survived became mutants.

3K were blamed for the release, even though it was engineered by Doug Ramsey, as the Revelation, the Heir Of Apocalypse, And it changed the world.

This future is now known by Scott Summers, Cyclops, leader of the X-Men, and the Krakoan Hank McCoy, the mad scientist version of The Beast, the Chairman of the mutant terrorist group, 3K.

And this has been shared with their teams… who are all acting on its… revelations.

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 while we have no news about even getting Franklin Richards back as a mutant in time for Avengers Doomsday – we now have a better idea what is going on. As DNX will see 3K taking over Hydra bioweapons labs…

…to create the X-Virus, using Hydra's own men to produce their own destruction, courtesy of Cassandra Nova's Xavier-like powers to bind them to her will. With X-Men now knowing a version of the future when some of them become monsters working for Revelation, fighting against a Beast who is already a monster. And that a 3K version of the X-Virus future will be even worse than Revelation's. 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…
