Revisitation

Apparently, the Mutant X Havok didn't die during the fight with the Sentinels. He was instead thrown into unconsciousness while the Earth-616 Havok took over his body. The evil Havok went with the original Havok back to Earth-616 during the final battle with the Goblin Queen. He lay dormant when Charles Xavier freed Alex's consciousness, biding his time, and re-emerged after Xavier Institute Student Nicholas Gleason (Wolf Cub) wounded Havok. Luckily, the Exiles (Mimic, Magik, Heather Hudson, Nocturne, Morph and Sunfire) were sent by the Timebroker to fight off the evil Alex until the Earth-616 version came back. The Timebroker then personally eliminated the evil Alex's consciousness. Professor X Professor X (full name Charles Francis Xavier) is a comic book character in the Marvel Comics universe. ...

Character Real Name Joined in Notes
Bloodstorm Ororo Munroe Mutant X #1 In this reality, Storm wasn't able to be saved from the bite of Dracula and instead was transformed into a vampire. Aside from her control over the weather she also is able to transform into a mist, summon, control and transform into vermin and other animals such as wolves and drain blood through her fangs. In defiance to her darker nature, Bloodstorm employs Forge and Kitty Pryde as food sources so she doesn't have to kill.
Brute Hank McCoy Mutant X #1 In this reality Hank McCoy's experimentations went too far. Instead of his furry simian form he has transformed into a green furred and scaled amphibious creature. To add insult to injury, his intellect is the equivalent of a small child's. He made a faulty deal with demons which resulted in his legs being replaced with goat hooves.
Fallen Warren Worthington III Mutant X #1 Apocalypse's experimentation resulted in a more organic look for Warren. Instead of the metal wings and blue skin, he was given bat wings, deathly pale skin and the ability to breathe fire.
Ice-Man Bob Drake Mutant X #1 Left without a device to suppress his powers after the tampering of the Asgardian deity Loki, Bob Drake was left trapped in his ice form without the ability to touch another living thing. Because of this he has become distant and his stalward humor has turned to cynicism. He also sees himself as partially responsible for the Brute's mental regression and tries his best to look out for his friend.
Marvel Woman/Goblyn Queen Madelyne Pryor-Summers Mutant X #1 The clone of the deceased Jean Grey, Madelyne found happiness in the arms of Havok, even having a son with him that they named Scotty. According to a S.H.I.E.L.D. file, Madelyne made a deal with the demons of Inferno to unlock her telekinetic potential.
Captain America Mutant X #15 Cap joined the team because he disagreed with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s search and destroy policy on mutants and decided that siding with the Six would be better than siding with Nick Fury. It was revealed that he is a mutant and a successor to the original Captain America, Steve Rogers.
Gambit Remy LeBeau Mutant X #16 Gambit was critically wounded on a mission with Bloodstorm and begged her to turn him into a vampire and Bloodstorm relutantly agreed. Gambit has the abilitiy to charge objects with explosive kinetic energy and can also transform into mist, summon, control and transform into vermin and other animals such as wolves and drain blood through his fangs. He also adopted a mysterious girl named Raven.
