History
Weapon X Program
The Weapon X Facility was the complex where the C.I.A.'s Weapon X Program operated.[3] It was built by Canadian's Department K,[2] in Alberta, Canada, near the town of Roanoke.[4] When Weapon Plus Program's Director John Sublime tried to shut down Weapon X Program, Professor Thorton made Weapon X an independent organization,[5] eventually leaving the Weapon X Facility and using the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a cover for their illegal activities.[6]
The original Weapon X Facility
Department K
At some point, the former Weapon X Facility was taken over by Canadian's Department K.[7]
Mutant Revolution
After Cyclops was freed,[8] he, Magneto and Magik set up their base in the now abandoned facility. From here they launched their mutant revolution by liberating unjustly imprisoned mutants and offering them aid with their powers and a place in Cyclops' new X-Men Team. Emma Frost soon joined after being freed by Cyclops and Magneto.[9]
Together Cyclops, Emma, Magneto, and Magik founded the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants.[9][10] They redesigned the facility to equip it with dormitories, cafeteria, and Danger Room. They've gathered young mutants such as Tempus, Triage, Benjamin Deeds, Goldballs, Stepford Cuckoos (Celeste, Irma and Phoebe), Angel, and Hijack and began training them to use their powers.[11] After the conflict with the Future X-Men and Future Brotherhood at the Cape Citadel base, Katherine Pryde decided to quit the Jean Grey School with the young X-Men and take up Scott's offer of joining his school thanks in part to Illyana.[12]
Alternate Realities

The three subjects, now known as The Pack, brought Havok of The Six to the facility to show him what happened to them. As they began to destroy the facility, Alpha Flight stepped in and took control of The Pack.[13]
