X-iting The Stage (My Final X-Men Spin-Off Pitch)

Following the decimation of the mutant population and the rise and fall of The X-Men's brightest star, how will the rest of the MCU X-Men react?

(Decimation Happens)

The New Mutants Season Four
After the deaths of mutants across the East Coast, many parents are pulling their children out of The Xavier School for Gifted Youths. Many companies across the country are also trying to turn the remaining Legacy Virus samples into a new cure to mutation, while some corporations simply want to weaponize it. There's only one person on Earth who can destroy The Legacy Virus for good, and Emma Frost needs to find him fast. Taking what's left of The New Mutants, Frost sets out on a road trip to find a mutant named Elixir before her former Hellfire Club members get him first and sell him to the highest bidder. However, due to The Hellfire Club's telepaths Emma cannot tell anyone of her true intentions, otherwise the whole school could be destroyed by The Hellfire Club. Emma's team consists of Shadowcat, Hellion, Jubilee, Blink, Rockslide, Mercury, and Deadgirl (who can communicate with Magik). So, yeah, don't believe the photo. Can her students trust her, or will Emma's cold attitude be her downfall?

(Ashes Happens)

X-Factor Investigations Season Two
Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Boom-Boom, and Multiple Man are back with a new employee and a new case to solve; the protection of Layla Miller. Layla is a mutant with perfect memory, the ability to recollect any memory-even memories that don't belong to her, and to experience flashes of the future. Due to her ability she was kept prisoner by a crime organization called The Maggia, led by The Slug. The Slug is a mutant crime boss with enhanced intellect, but weak physical strength. Slug used Layla for bank information, dates and times for money transfers, and the secrets of the some of the most dangerous and politically respected men in the country, but with Layla gone Slug's business begins to crash. She finally escaped and is under the protection of Multiple Man and Strong Guy, while the rest of the team-plus their new werewolf/mutant teammate Wolfsbane-investigate Slug's business. This brings them into conflict with a mysterious new mutant named Dr. N, who will do anything to keep his involvement a secret.

X-Force: Genesis
En Sabah Nur, the first mutant, and the world's Apocalypse. For millennia he has walked the Earth in search of four mutants powerful enough to be his minions, but weak hearted enough to fall slave to his mind control. With the mutant population shaken by "Decimation" and "Ashes", he begins his collection of worthy mutants. Then there is the time-traveling mutant known as Cable who comes from a future already enslaved by Apocalypse. He comes back in time to meet up with X-Force and he tells them of the four mutants who will become The Horseman of Apocalypse. However, as the story progresses we see the timeline shift and Cable's predictions become false. X-23 becomes War, Colossus becomes Famine, Archangel becomes Death, and Cyclops becomes Pestilence. Cable, Deadpool, Domino, Psylocke, Wolverine, and Warpath must defeat this world-ending mutant, even if it means hurting their friends in the process.

Psylocke Season Three
Following "X-Force: Genesis", Psylocke has a lot on her plate. With the minds of Cyclops, Archangel, Colossus, and X-23 damaged, Betsy Braddock will need to gather the strongest telepaths in the world to save them. And so her search for ex-teacher Emma Frost, fortune teller Blindfold, Genoshan leader Professor X, troublemaker Quinten Quire, and Celeste, the last of the Stepford Cuckoos Sisters. However, throughout her journey she will come to blows with the returning Revanche and The Hand, Fantomex the assassin, and an enemy from Betsy past known as The Shadow King. Her mission may be to save the minds of her friends, but maybe it's her mind that needs the help.

X-Force Investigations Season Three
X-Factor enters the big time when Angel shows up and asks for the detective agency to look into the abduction of Jono Starsmore/Chamber. The X-Men believed he was unaffected by The Legacy Virus and they were forced to let the boy's parents in London take him home. When Jono's powers of energy expulsion through his mouth vanished and he fell unconscious, he was taken to a hospital and went missing. So, the team go international and learn Chamber was taken by The Clan Akkaba, worshipers of Apocalypse who want to revive their destroyed king inside the body of Chamber. The Clan's leader is William Rolfson, The Son of Apocalypse, The First Horseman, and the self-appointed Holocaust. With a heavier mission ahead of them, Havok, Polaris and their friends will be pushed to their absolute limits, and with the help of M13 agent Pete Wisdom, they may have a chance.

X-Men vs X-Force
Just when you thought the worst was over. Apocalypse lives on in the heart of Professor X and both The X-Men and X-Force know it. If they don't do something Professor X could end up completing Apocalypse's mission of wiping out the weaklings of the world. The X-Men believe he can be converted back to normal, but X-Force knowns the truth. In order for the world to live, Professor X must die. Despite Professor X's wishes to be put down, Cyclops won't allow someone else he loves to be killed because of the power possessing them. As the battle between both teams wages on, Professor X/Apocalypse transports his corrupted mind into Magneto's, and Magneto uses his powers to build indestructible armor. By the time The X-Men and X-Force get their acts together, the combination of minds Apocalypse has gathered has formed themselves into a new tyrant, Onslaught. It'll take all Charles' students got to defeat this powerhouse and save the world
The End.
Hope you enjoyed my pitch for how The X-Men could tie-into The MCU! Thanks for reading!
