The team first helped the former anti-mutant Sublime fight and defeat his sister, the technological virus Arkea. They managed to liberate Karima Shapandar from Arkea's influence. As a side-effect, Karima lost her Omega Sentinel technology. The X-Men lost Kitty Pryde to Cyclops' side following the Battle of Atom crossover. Ana Cortes, sharing Lady Deathstrike's consciousness, attempted to obtain the Omega Sentinel technology at the Jean Grey school and fought Karima and Monet St. Croix but was defeated before she escaped. Storm recruited Karima and Monet into her team to search for Lady Deathstrike. Lady Deathstrike formed a team of Sisterhood comprising of Typhoid Mary and Amora the Enchantress. Typhoid Mary stole Arkea from the X-Men and Lady Deathstrike recruited Arkea into her team. However, Arkea soon assumed control and ordered the resurrection of dead X-Men villains Selene and Madelyne Pryor. Unable to live with what she had unleashed on the world, Ana Cortes sent a call to the X-Men for help. As the X-Men arrived to fight Arkea, who had now taken on the Lady Deathstrike's consciousness, Storm allowed Selene and Madelyne Pryor to leave. The X-Men proceeded to destroy Arkea.
