March 2023

Back from their mission in Nevada, Marie-Ange Colbert updated X-Force on the results of their mission, which included a downturn in the fortunes of John Sublime. eXcalibur and X-Factor both got new members - Illyana Rasputin and Inez Temple respectively - and Madin and Match began to settle into life at the mansion, Match rather more successfully than the ever-suspicious Madin. Everything was turned upside-down, however, when an eXcalibur mission resulted in a viral infection that infected the majority of the mansion residents and caused the Great Powers Swap, with people's powers randomly jumbling. Chaos ensued, but luckily it ended after 24 hours.
