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.

Xavier's Notes: "David is perhaps both my greatest achievement and my greatest failure. A mutant of near omnipotence, David has shown the ability to do just about anything within his mental grasp. Exceedingly bright, that grasp has grown in leaps and bounds. His potential is nearly without limit. The only other mutant ever to come close to his levels of power is Jean Grey.

"Unfortunately, David's powers manifested too early; he was unable to cope with the sheer amount of power and control at his command. He became psychotic; he developed paranoia and schizophrenia. Unfortunately, David's break with reality manifested itself in unfathomable ways. The phantoms of David's mind become real; his bouts of madness are shared by everyone around him.

"There is one defense against David's vast power; steel. It seems neither his quantakinetic nor his telepathic abilities are able to pierce this particular alloy. It is a blessing, perhaps, that steel is in great abundance.

"David is disturbed in ways even I do not understand. His mind is closed off to me; nothing I have tried has made any progress. Perhaps I have simply not tried enough with him. I might as well be on another planet, running the Institute while David remains exiled to the lowest levels of Moira's Muir Island Research Facility. Even now, I do not know what I can do to reach out to him. I fear what may happen should David escape his steel prison. I fear what my failures may cost ."
