Death and Rebirth
For decades, Genoshan’s human population thrived off the backs of mutate slavery, until the capture of several X-Men—Wolverine, Rogue, and their ally Madelyne Pryor among them—as well as the attempted brainwashing of several other mutants saw the X-Men expose Genosha’s horrifying treatment of mutants, as well as Moreau (now known as the the Genegineer) and the Genosha Government’s alliance with the anti-mutant cyborg and former manipulator behind X-Factor, Cameron Hodge.
The liberation of the X-Men, as well as Hodge’s murder of the New Mutant Warlock, was broadcast globally, leading to the downfall of the current regime, replaced by one that promised to turn away from the mutate process and treat its mutant population as citizens, rather than slaves.
