Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia #1 Spoilers

Utopia • Chapter 1

Spoilers: Simon Trask's Humanity Now! Coalition marches all the way to San Francisco. Mutants on the other side demand that they keep their right to procreation. Hellion and other students lose their minds and start pounding on everyone. What follows is crowd control by the police leading to the arrest of Beast. The Mayor tells Cyclops he should have controlled the mutants, and broadcast of the riots in San Francisco are shown around the world. Later that night, protests continue. Various mutants are shown marching in different areas all leading to City Hall. Riots break out everywhere involving mutants, humans and the police. Norman Osborn decides to step in. He imposes martial law on the state of California and sends in his Dark Avengers with orders to contain the crowds, protect civilians and arrest any mutant who breaks the law. While these riots are going on, Emma Frost goes to meet Norman. He tells her their deal was that she would keep mutants quiets and he would stay out of their business. Now Norman offers Emma a new plan: she will lead a team of mutants as the face of law and order. He then appears in front of press and declares Scott Summers a person to be arrested. Norman then introduces Professor Xavier to the journalists, who sides with Osborn and support his views. Beast, who is in a jail cell, is contacted by the real Charles Xavier, also arrested, who says that somehow they are taking their powers.

Notes: Writer Jason Aaron stated recently that Mystique will have a short story in the Dark X-Men: The Beginning mini-series. I guess now it's quite clear what role Mystique will play!
