A momentous year for the X-Men as they faced off against the Avengers while the threat of the Phoenix loomed over them. The Phoenix Five debuted and Cyclops killed Charles Xavier. In other events, Alpha Flight defeated the Master of the World (again), Storm's relationship with the Black Panther ended, Polaris' true origin was finally revealed, Psylocke purged Archangel, Madrox died - a lot, Rogue and Magneto separated, Northstar and Kyle Jinadu married and the Avengers Unity Squad was formed but that all fails in comparison to Magma going on a date with Mephisto. This is 2012!
