An Introduction

I am the Ephemerist. Your regularly scheduled Watcher is busy hosting issues of 'What If?', and can't be concerned with a paltry, dark and miniscule piece of the Multiverse like the one I'm about to show you. No universe-spanning Star Empires, no higher beings running around in human bodies, no time-travel, very little in the way of magic or the paranormal. Science rules the day, and so does the passage of time.
Heroes age here; heroes die.

Welcome to Earth-659.
Welcome to Earth Prime.

Solicitation - Children of the Atom #1 (of 3)

The first issue of Primeverse's Children of the Atom is ready to hit the airwaves. Here's a little teaser to whet your appetites.
By the time Xavier held National Adress, it had nearly been too late. Mass rioting in Genosha over their Mutant Workcamp Program had reached international news. As a member of the UN, Genosha proved untouchable; no country would step in to police the small island nation. Doing so would be tantamount to a declaration of war. And since no laws had been passed globally on the true status of Mutants--whether they fell under the same international law as humans, or they were merely another species of intelligent animal, no one group could prove the issue one way or the other. And so these mutants remained as they were, subject to the humane guidelines afforded to endangered monkeys. Subject to the needs and interests of the country they were in. And until UN made a final decision, mutants were property in Genosha. And the riots would continue.

Charles Xavier, human rights activist, Professor in the fields of Biology and Genetics, called together a National Address to open a forum on mutant issues. Calling out for public support, he declared that mutants were indeed human. They were just a little bit... different.


"--and with that in mind, I feel that it's finally time to put an end to masks, an end to hiding our gifts behind 'secret identities' and ill-fitting clothes.

"Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X. And I am a mutant."


Expect the full issue soon!
