His name is Charles Xavier … and he is a mutant. For years, Professor X was widely regarded as an authority on genetic mutation, and an advocate of peaceful relations between man and mutant. The general public was unaware he possessed superhuman powers until the psionically empowered Cassandra Nova—his twin sister—addresses the global media while in possession of her brother's body and broke the decades-long silence. But in attempting to expose Xavier to his enemies, she unwittingly freed him from his self-imposed exile. From the teeming city streets of New York's Mutant Town to the irradiated ruins of the island nation of Genosha, once a haven for mutants, the X-Men set off to heal the rift between humanity and Homo Superior—only to discover a terrifying new threat from a new species! Collecting: New X-Men (2001) 127-133

Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then he has written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, he has also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS. In his secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician.

He divides his time between his homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

No longer working for DC, in 2018 Van Sciver announced that he would instead produce his own comics, beginning with a crowdfunded comic entitled CYBERFROG: BLOODHONEY featuring his early character CyberFrog, for which he raised over $1,000,000 on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.
