Synopsis for "Eight Bells"

In 1939, Professor Phineas Horton is paid a visit by Doctors Carlo Zota, Jerome Hamilton, and Maris Morlack of the Scientists Guild (a.k.a. the Three Xs) to investigate Horton's "Synthetic Man". Horton shows them his experiment, the Human Torch, and then activates the android.

Synopsis for "The Operative and the X Men"

In 1940 Leslie Lenrow, a.k.a. "the Ferret" and formerly known as Denis Piper, is paid a visit in his private detective agency by the Three Xs. The three men explain to Piper why they are here: they believe that once World War II ends in Allied victory, a generation of "X-Humans" will shape what comes next. The Three Xs claims that they represent that new generation of humanity and, if necessary, will create it. They simply want Piper's mask that he once wore as the Operative and it is allegedly said by the person who gave it to Piper was "magic." Piper never found out if that was true, as it is just cloth to his eyes. So he gives it to the Three Xs, who want to use it to fight the Nazis.

Synopsis for "The Other Door"

In 1941, Steve Rogers is being led to Project Rebirth. While passing by an open door, he spots inside the room the Three Xs studying an eldritch tome and the Operative's mask floating and shining "like starlight." Also in the room is a almost naked bespectacled man waiting nearby, nervous, and wearing a bizarre apparatus around his neck. The door is suddenly slammed shut in Steve's face. Steve is then informed by his guide that Project Rebirth is not the only secret that is found here and that Steve is not their only success. Steve is advised to "forget the path not taken" as he is guided away from the door, which has a sign on it that says "Project Thunderer".

Synopsis for "The Loop"

Nine months ago, Bobby Da Costa is discussing with Jimmy Woo about the Three Xs that he has been recently studying. They were a trio of 1940s scientific investigators who popularized the letter "X" as a shorthand for humanity's next phase of evolution. In another world, they would have been the "X-Men." But they mysteriously vanished. The Three Xs were not mutants and Bobby is not certain that they even knew about the mutant gene, but they were present at the creation of the first Human Torch and Jerry Carstairs, a.k.a. both the Thunderer and the Dark Avenger. This left Bobby wondering if this is all just "synchronicity" or "our kind of thing." Jimmy shares his thoughts on what he thinks is "loops."

Synopsis for "Calling Frequency X"

Following the death of Bill Nasland, the second incarnation of Captain America, at the hands of the insane android Adam-II, Jerry Carstairs angrily confronts Carlo Zota and accuses him of being responsible for the creation of Adam-II. It was Zota who was responsible for bankrolling Professor Phineas Horton to create another android like the Human Torch, and it was Zota who supplied Adam-II's programming with the Three Xs' ideas for the next phase of humanity's evolution, which led to the android's madness. Disgusted, Carstairs quits working for the Scientists Guild and takes the Operative's mask — then Carstairs swears that if the Three Xs attempt to come for it, he will take them down.
