After more than a decade from the first mention of the fabled Twelve, their story is finally told. It is revealed the legend of the Twelve is actually the grand design of Apocalypse, who started the rumors himself long ago. They are in fact twelve powerful mutants that Apocalypse wants to lure together, as he needs them to ascend to godhood. His master plan is to take their powers, combine them and transfer them into his body. After doing so he will be omnipotent. Needing a suitable hostbody capable of containing this incredible power, Apocalypse decides Nate Grey will do just fine, and has him captured as the so called Thirteenth. The X-Men end up facing Skrulls, egyptian cultists, the four Horsemen and Apocalypse himself before events unfold into the mind-shattering conclusion where one man’s bold sacrifice may turn out in vain.
