The secret black ops team X-Force of Earth-616 (the mainstream Marvel reality) recently jumped over to the Age of Apocalypse (Earth-295) and found a very different place from the one we remembered. When we last visited this reality, things seemed more hopeful now that America was no longer under the rule of Apocalypse. But things have changed and the Death Seed that once powered En Sabah Nur now resides in Logan - Weapon X has become Weapon Omega and rules as Apocalypse once did.
The X-Men of Earth-295 have just returned to their home reality after aiding X-Force against Archangel on Earth-616. But the conflicts have cost them dearly and many of their number are now dead. It seems they have no chance of shutting down their former team mate and friend by ending the rule of Weapon Omega. Or do they? A band a humans has risen and they seem just as capable of getting the job done as any team of mutants...

Marvel Point One #1[3/7]
Following the successful execution of Krakken - the mutant engineer who invented ways to exterminate masses of humans - Prophet (William Stryker) gathers his X-Terminated (Deadeye/Zora Risman, Fiend/Francesca Trask, Goodnight/Donald Pierce & Horror Show/Graydon Creed) as they prepare to take on Weapon Omega himself and save what's left of humanity...
Uncanny X-Force #19.1
The X-Terminated prove themselves against a Samurai Sentinel then meet with Magneto to reveal their latest plan, having cloned his deceased daughter the Scarlet Witch after learning how the Earth-616 iteration had the power to turn off the mutant gene. Despite Magneto's initial rage, he reluctantly agrees to let Jean Grey tap into the mindless clone and activate her powers. Before they can, Weapon Omega arrives and kills Rogue and Magneto, prompting Jean to unleash the Scarlet Witch's powers out of pure desperation with a radius of only a few feet. Sabretooth and Jean are the only surviving X-Men and are completely powerless, while Weapon Omega was untouched and still reigns supreme. In retaliation, Weapon Omega destroys the Vestry which housed all of the hidden humans. Only Jean, Sabretooth, the X-Terminated and a handful of humans escape...
The Vestry is destroyed, but Weapon Omega wants Jean Grey so her can join her or die. Humans are almost completely extinct, but it won't stop Prophet from planning his next move. With Jean as their now-human ally and Sabretooth locked in their brig, the X-Terminated track down the human journalist, Harper Simmons, who recently made the jump from Earth-616. He leads them to one the Dark Beast's hideout where he emerged in this reality where the team discover Cyclops very much alive and back on the wrong side...
Age of Apocalypse #2
The X-Terminated narrowly escape Cyclops, except Deadeye who's taken prisoner. Back at Humanity's Last Stand, Jean tries to summon her mutant powers to no avail. When her powers left, so did the Phoenix Force. Now Prophet plans to train her to fight. And it's not long before the X-Terminated discover Cyclops was cloned back to life by the Dark Beast and Sugar Man, with more resurrections are in the pipeline...
Age of Apocalypse #3
Jean is sent to Horror Show (Graydon Creed) for training and he immediately takes a liking to her. She refuses to go on a date with him unless he speaks to his father, the imprisoned Sabretooth. The X-Terminated locate the cloning lab and discover Havok, Dead Man Wade, Emplate and Colossus have already been brought back. The team free Deadeye and start killing their way through the clones. Meanwhile, Goodnight pays a visit to Dr Bruce Banner who seems to have forgotten that he can transform into the gamma-spawned, grey-skinned Thing...
Age of Apocalypse #4
Goodnight reveals to Banner that he years in the pens, just like Banner did, being turned into something designed to kill humans. He encourages Banner to transform into the Thing, convinces him Betty Ross is alive and sends him towards the Dark beast's cloning facility. It's a ruse, but it gives the X-Terminated the upper hand a he destroys the cloning chambers. Prophet saves the chamber containing Monet St Croix's clone and leaves Weapon Omega to a battle that results in the death of the Thing.

X-Termination #2 (2013)
In order to prevent the Exterminators or Jean Grey/Apocalypse from harming out other realities, Nightcrawler seals the way to Earth-295 as the reality presumably consumes itself; Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Deadeye and Goodnight are among those who remained on Earth-295 and are assumed to have died; Weapon X is presumably among the dead; Prophet and Harper Simmons survive having been transported to Earth-616; Dark Beast escapes back to Earth-616 with a fragment of the Death Seed's power, but Wolverine of Earth-616 catches up with him during X-TERMINATION.

Earth-295's Weapon X is among an entire team of Logans from various realities who make up a baseball team called the Seething Snikters who play against a team called the Amazing Arachnids made of up Spider-Totems from various realities; it's not clear if this means Weapon X survived the destruction of the Age of Apocalypse, if it wasn't destroyed at all, if he was taken from an earlier time or if he was from a divergent Age of Apocalypse.
