On Earth-9997, the X-Men were not just hated and feared—they were further mutated by the Terrigen Mists into animalistic hybrids. Cyclops now leads a team of circus-like performers who have been shunned by the very world they saved.
Notable members include Cyclops (now an older, weary leader), Beast (who has lost his human features entirely), and a new generation of mutants who have never known a world without the Mists.
