One of my orignal ideas was to have a very DoFP/AoA-type storyline featuring Lightman, Varion Due, and Sky High, the story would be in 26 parts split into four sections, each section shows the characters as they grow up find love, have a family, and die, until at the end the only one left of the orignal trio is Varion because of his slowed aging.

The first period shows the beginning of the Human vs Mutant war, with Magneto leading the mutants, and President Kelly leading the humans, and the X-Men trying to act as mediators between the two sides.

The second period is the deadliest part of the war, with casualties for both sides in the low billions, even the X-Men are having trouble with rogue mutant factions coming up everywhere, like X-Force, a stealth millitia team led by Wolverine, or the Old Mutant Faction, a group who believe that all the problems in the world are being caused by an ancient being who lies sleeping under the pyramids.

The third part is the very end of the war, where the remnants of the X-Men journey to Egypt to awaken the sleeping being as a last ditch attempt to end the war, they awaken Apocaypse who takes his four Horsemen before leaving the solar system to conquer other worlds.

The fourth part is after the war, Varion looks back upon the past mistakes of history, and realising that what he has become is necessary to ensure peace will always exist, and knowning that he will have to outlive everyone he ever loved to completely stop wars, before being greeted by cheering crowds as the Gravity Emperor.

There is also a one-shot showing Varion hundreds of years in the future, now more machine than human, ready to seperate his spirit from his body so that he may finaly join his friends, who appear in a vision before him, and his position as the ruler of the New Solar Federation, keeping peace for over a thousand years which allowed humanity to progress out into the solar system, and as he dies a familiar ship is seen entering the Solar System, and a booming voice declares that it is now the Empire of Apocalypse.
