The ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'' arc (1981) of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' centred around a BadFuture where the X-Men, along with other mutants and superhumans, were exterminated by fearful humans and the killer robots known as Sentinels. Kate Pryde, one of the few survivors, returned to the present via MentalTimeTravel in a desperate attempt to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong.
