An adaptation of “X-Men: Destiny”.

The event begins at a peace rally in memory of the deceased Professor Farmsworth (Professor X), seen through the Mutant Response Division’s Chief Luis Reyes. Things quickly turn when the rally is attacked by an anti-mutant extremist group called the Purifiers, who are kidnapping mutants, not killing them as they usually do. The latent mutant powers of the protagonist are awakened, and they are forced to defend civilians from the Purifiers. The protagonist then meets with mutants from both the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants and chooses to join a group as they go after Risk Takur (Cameron Hodge), leader of the Purifiers. Takur is wearing a suit of power armor and personally joins the hunt for mutants. The player eventually corners Takur on top of a building but is interrupted by Bill Blackwell (Magneto), accused by Reyes of attacking the rally, who drops the Golden Gate Bridge on top of the combat zone. The protagonist is saved by Blir (Nightcralwer) at the last second and is teleported to Chinatown, where they are tasked with finding Naveen (Gambit) who is currently operating a nightclub nearby. After meeting Naveen, he asks the protagonist to help him raid a Purifier warehouse which contains technology that is being used against mutants. After the raid, Jimmy gives the player character the location of the secret underground lab where Purifiers hold captured mutants. At the lab, the player character meets several captured mutants such as Marco Diaz (Quicksilver), Marie Kanker (Surge) and Vinni Pukh (Colossus). With their help John Sublime and the U-Men are defeated, and the captured mutants are rescued. Acting on information gained by the X-Men, the protagonist goes to a secret underground base used by Risk Takur and the Purifiers. They find Takur, who is now wearing a more powerful power armor containing drained mutant powers. Takur boasts that the powers drained from Pesky Dust (Pixie) and Mr. Peabody (Caliban) will allow him to find any mutant, and that he is being helped by some other group or person. After the fight, Takur falls from a generator tower to his apparent death.

Depending on the protagonist’s choice between the X-Men or the Brotherhood of Mutants, they go to either Feraligatr (Cyclops) or Silvana Rosechu (Mystique) with the new-found information and are tasked with finding Pesky Dust and Peabody. With the aid of Tails (Forge), the player character finds Roy and realizes that Risk’s ally is Robot Jones (Bastion), the robot who killed Farmsworth before being destroyed by Blackwell. Jones somehow survived and uploaded himself to the MRD satellite, and even Reyes is working for him. With Peabody’s help, the protagonist finds Pesky Dust. Still, the helicopter carrying her is shot down by a laser beam and crashes, killing her. Immediately after, regardless of the protagonist’s so far, Blackwell accuses Feraligatr of shooting down the helicopter and, alongside Bismuth (Juggarnaut), attacks both Feraligatr and the protagonist. After the fight, Blackwell grudgingly gives the protagonist a chance to join the Brotherhood, and they are forced to make an important decision. Regardless of which side the protagonist chooses, they are tasked to take down Reyes, who seems to have mind control powers. Reyes plans to amplify his power with Jones’s satellite so he can control all humans and mutants on Earth. After fighting several allied mutants and saving them from Reyes' mind control, the protagonist finds the broadcasting tower used by Reyes and shuts down the signal with the aid of Feraligatr and Blackwell. Jones downloads himself into Reyes, now wearing an enormous version of Risk’s armor, and takes control of his mind. Jones also sends several Gigantos (Sentinels) to join the fight. After the protagonist brings down Jones and his Gigantos, Reyes surrenders himself to the authorities, to which the protagonist responds that they are the authorities now.

If they sided with the X-Men, Cyclops, the player character, and the X-Men are seen watching over the ruins of San Francisco. They promise to create a world where mutants and humans can live together in peace. Feraligatr says that there's another storm coming that might be worse than the ones they've already endured. If they sided with the Brotherhood, Blackwell and the protagonist are seen watching over the ruins of San Francisco. Blackwell declares the formation of a mutant-only nation, and he states that he will teach the protagonist how to survive in a world that despises mutants.
