X-Men 101: #4 - DIS-ORIENTING


Psylocke was once Caucasian (British, actually). Her mind was transferred into the body of an Asian assassin named Revanche, whose mind was transferred into Psylocke's. Dying from the Legacy Virus, Revanche had herself killed by Matsu'o Tsurayaba.

X-Men 101: #3 - PHOENIX LITE


Phoenix was not supposed to die at the conclusion of Uncanny X-Men #137. The creators originally intended only for Jean Grey to be stripped of her powers, but the powers that be felt that she deserved a harsher fate.

X-Men 101: #2 - FIRST OF SECOND


Nightcrawler was the first of the New X-Men team recruited by Professor X. He was about to be killed by a mob in his native Germany before the Prof stepped in.

X-Men 101: #1 - XAVIER CLONED


Charles Xavier isn't in his original body. It was destroyed when a Brood Queen "hatched" from it, and alien technology put his brain into a cloned body that could walk. His new legs would later be crushed in a fight with the shadow king.
