In another place, in another life, Alex Summers led a team of mutants known as X-Factor in a battle against oppression. His methods were extreme and his tactics questionable, but in his soul, he knew that he was fighting for the greater good. An explosion of the makeshift space/time distortion device tor him from that reality and transferred him to a parallel world where he has taken the place of his doppelganger. On this alternate earth, Summers, also known as Havok, finds himself allied with a team of mutants known as The Six. They are sinister, parallel versions of his friends and family he knew. It is to this dark, new place that Havok has come and where he stands alone as Mutant X.
