Hellions: A Rock and a Hard Place | Marvel Multiverse

About the adventure

There is a war coming. Maybe there always is. Mankind fears mutants. Mutants fear mankind. And somewhere, somebody is already preparing another generation of bright-eyed kids to inherit the same fight their parents never managed to finish. The Massachusetts Academy has a different idea. We don't need another generation of X-Men. We don't need soldiers for Xavier's dream, Magneto's revolution, Emma Frost's ambitions—or anyone else's. We need young mutants who understand their powers, know their worth, recognize the dangers waiting for them, and are prepared to decide for themselves what comes next. That's where you come in. Maybe you're powerful. Maybe you're frightened. Maybe your mutation changed everything overnight. Maybe you've been hiding it for years. Maybe you've already decided you're going to save the world. Fine. First, learn how to live in it. Here you'll study. Train. Fail. Try again. Learn what your powers can really do—and what you can do without them. Eight mentors who have been heroes, villains, kings, queens, monsters, survivors, teachers, and occasionally much worse will prepare you for dangers they know all too well. Not because you're being recruited for somebody else's war. Because someday you may have to decide whether it's your war. Will you become a hero? A villain? A scientist? An artist? A revolutionary? A teacher? Something nobody here has imagined yet? Good. That's your decision. Welcome to the Massachusetts Academy. We have the power to change the world. We'd rather help you change your life.
