The Cerebro Sword was forged by Magneto for Professor X from the remnants of Cerebro.[3]
History
Origin[]
Using skin grafts from Domino, XENO mercenaries were able to infiltrate Krakoa's defenses and successfully assassinate Professor X, destroying Cerebro in the process.[4] Before Professor X was resurrected, Magneto reshaped the broken shards of Cerebro into the Cerebro Sword.[3]
Following his resurrection, Magneto gifted the Cerebro Sword to Professor X in a private moment. Professor X placed the sword on the wall of his private room above his bed.[5][6]
Theft[]
While examining the corpses of XENO's enhanced soldiers in the Healing Gardens, Beast, Sage, and Cecilia Reyes were all shocked to discover that the soldiers were biologically engineered to have smaller agents nested inside them. One of these small soldiers was able to steal the Cerebro Sword, murder Kid Omega with it, and use his dying body to access a Krakoa Gateway to Russia to deliver the sword to Mikhail Rasputin.[6] Mikhail then presented the sword to The Man with the Peacock Tattoo and XENO.[7] In an effort to decrypt the information held within the Cerebro Sword, Mikhail attempted to procure a load of Shi'ar logic diamonds.[8][9] This plan was inadvertently thwarted by Solem, who stole the logic diamonds for his own use.[10]
X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine[]
Using a combination of his own reality warping powers and the Cerebro Sword, Mikhail sent Omega Red's consciousness into the past to kill Professor X and/or his ancestors. To counter this attack, Professor X and Jean Grey used another Cerebro to send Wolverine's consciousness into his past bodies to stop Omega Red from murdering anyone in the Xavier line and changing the timeline.[11] After finally defeating Omega Red in the present, Wolverine brought the Cerebro Sword back to The Pointe. However, as soon as Wolverine arrived back on Krakoa, he was dispatched to stop the Phalanx-possessed Omega Wolverine from infecting the Cerebro Cradles.[12] While Wolverine, Laura, Daken, and Scout tried to stop Omega Wolverine, Sage programmed the Cerebro Sword with nanites meant to counter program the Phalanx virus. Sage was able to rush the sword to Wolverine who stabbed Omega Wolverine's skeleton with it, purging the Phalanx virus and ending the threat. During the encounter, the Cerebro Sword was completely broken in half and seemingly destroyed.[13]
Beast was able to secretly recover and repair the Cerebro Sword.[1] As part of his larger plans, Beast stored the Cerebro Sword with a clone of himself in a high-tech protective sarcophagus buried beneath Stonehenge.[2]Properties
The Cerebro Sword retained the information stored in the other Cerebro Cradles (i.e. backups of the minds of mutantkind). However, the information is encrypted.[9]
Notes
- The sword is meant to represent Xavier's dream, once broken, but now forged anew and refined.[3]
