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: "After all this time, Anne still goes by Rogue, as if she's uncomfortable with the name she was born with. Only Emma, myself, and a few of the administration staff at the Massachusetts Academy even know of it. She seems to prefer it that way. I do hope that there will be a time that Anne feels at ease with her teammates. Perhaps then, she will tell them.

"Despite her fears and her secrecy, Rogue has grown into a bright and capable leader, though she would never admit to being so. She came in a ward of the state, a petty criminal, and has blossomed under our care to graduate at the top of her class.

"I do understand her need for psychological distance, however. It seems to match the physical one she's erected around herself. Her powers, while growing more versatile and less deadly with each rare application, are still without control. It has been over ten years since the last time Anne's contact with another human being did not end with their thoughts swimming in her mind. In the years that I have tried to help her, I have come to believe that Anne's difficulties with her powers are psychological rather than physical. This difficulty, however, lies somewhere within the boundaries of a mind so guarded even I cannot breach."
