As Universe X begins, Reed Richards prevented the destruction of the Earth at the hands of the Celestials by summoning Galactus, secretly Franklin Richards who has reached the highest form of evolution and is susceptible to the identity others project upon him. Thus, Reed and X-51 – the Machine Man – must never acknowledge him for who he truly is. Meanwhile, Reed has installed Human Torches around the world to burn off the Terrigen mists that transformed humanity. Humanity is loath to relinquish its new abilities, but larger changes are afoot.

Flashbacks reveal that it was the Absorbing Man who defeated the Avengers, setting the stage for Hydra and Norman Osborn to further shatter America.
