Powers Of X #2 by Jonathan Hickman

Across four eras, a new mutant destiny takes shape: in the earliest days, a visionary telepath and a militant master of magnetism forge a fateful alliance; in the present, their field leader accepts a near-impossible mission to destroy the Orchis Mother Mold before it births a new Nimrod; a century later, a desperate resistance led by Apocalypse targets the machines’ master archive; and in a far-future epoch, post-human stewards court the Phalanx to judge their worth for cosmic ascension.
