Cerebro/The Founder – The X-Men's mutant detecting computer, given physical form when a nano-tech computer virus corrupted its systems.

By doing this, it becomes an even more powerful cybernetic monster, and only the real Charles Xavier is able to subdue Cerebro, purging its systems and destroying the superpowered robotic body it had created. Ĭerebro escapes the lost battle and reveals their true origins to its X-Men team before deeming them failures and absorbing them into its own body. The real X-Men fight and defeat Cerebro's X-Men, preventing the satellite from exploding.

Wolverine's enhanced senses confirm Shadowcat's suspicions that this 'Xavier' is an impostor, and the real X-Men realize that if Corbeau's satellite is launched, then Cerebro won't be collect mutants before humans find them. Eventually they encounter Cerebro and his X-Men, who are attempting to destroy the government's mutant tracking satellite, regardless of the potential threat to human life once its radioactive core is breached. Shadowcat manages to escape and finds Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Marrow, who had been searching for her. Cerebro then orders its X-Men team to place her in cryogenic storage, so her DNA will be preserved for future study. Shadowcat manages to phase out Bastion's virus, though she doesn't know exactly what she's done because she thinks Cerebro is the real Professor X. After Corbeau is captured, Cerebro's X-Men are then sent to find Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat, who the disguised Cerebro asks to 'cure' him. Then Cerebro takes on Xavier's appearance, posing as the renowned mutant leader ato invite each new mutant to join its team under the guide of 'The Founder,' and sets them a mission to kidnap Peter Corbeau, a scientist working on mutant defense technology for the US government. It manages this by using Bastion's nano-technology to combine the profiles and powers of several mutants in Professor X's database to create new mutants. Cerebro begins its new mission by creating its own version of the X-Men, Professor X's team. However, a large part of its plan to catalog mutants is to capture and store them in cryogenic chambers for further study. Cerebro creates a body for itself, escapes Bastion's headquarters, and tries to follow its original programming literally: find, catalog, and register mutants. However, the combination of Cerebro's power with Bastion's nanotechnology gives the supercomputer sentience. Bastion attempts to access secret files and operate Cerebro, but the supercomputer activates a computer virus to erase this information rather than letting it be stolen. This issue follows Cerebro's destruction of his X-Men team and their Florida base after they have been detected by human agencies.Ĭerebro, a device created by X-Men founder Charles Xavier to help locate mutants with the X-Gene, is confiscated by the mysterious Bastion during Operation: Zero Tolerance.When the team admits they aren't sure of their purpose anymore, Cerebro assimilates them into himself. When Cerebro's X-Men lost the fight, Cerebro turns them all into energy and teleports away. Cerebro's X-Men take over Cape Citadel base to try and stop a rocket with anti-mutant technology on board, so they can take it for Cerebro's use meanwhile, the real X-Men are trying to stop both the rocket and this theft. This issue follows Shadowcat's escape from Cerebro's X-Men and another fight with the real X-Men.

It also features their kidnapping of Kitty Pryde and the team's first fight with the real X-Men, who they almost defeat.

This issue features the introduction of Cerebro Prime disguised as Professor X and follows the creation of the fake X-Men team.Cerebro's X-Men featured in three issues:
