The X-Men Get Their Own Version of Law & Order in Legion of X
In an interview about Marvel Comics' upcoming Legion of X series, creator and writer Si Spurrier dives into Nightcrawler and his new mutant justice X-Men team and explores how the Law and Order-esque task force will keep mutants safe from internal threats.

Legion of X spins directly out of Way of X and the Onslaught Revelation event, with Legion using his reality-warping powers to plant a Krakoan Gate seed in his own mind, allowing Nightcrawler's new team to use his inner Astral Plane as a headquarters.
