Above ground, the X-Men are in a bit of a schism - the original five X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Beast and Angel) had reunited and, at Angel's suggestion, decides to form X-Factor in an attempt to rescue mutants and rehabilitate them under the disguise as "mutant hunters". However, the other X-Men and the New Mutants had a new head master at the Xavier Institute as Magneto had decided to pull a HeelFaceTurn and join the X-Men in Xavier's stead. Untrusting of Magneto, X-Factor refused to contact the X-Men and let them known who they were.

The ''Mutant Massacre'' was unique and iconic for its storytelling technique. Despite the storyline being told through ''Uncanny X-Men'' #210-213, ''ComicBook/XFactor'' #9-11, ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' #373-374, ''ComicBook/PowerPack'' #27 and a "side story" of sorts in ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' #238, the story was not technically told in straight-line parts. The way a reader could read the story, they could pick up an issue of one title and get part of a story told to completion. However, the reader could also collect all of the parts and get the fuller story.

Beyond the iconic technique, this storyline featured a number of events and set into motion numerous plots. This would see the first mention of Mr. Sinister, whose actions would kickstart a number of events in the future, the first battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth, Psylocke joining the X-Men, the damaging of Angel's wings and the start of a plot in ''Thor'' which saw the God of Thunder rendered immortal yet frail.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: After the X-Men are ravaged by the Marauders, Storm has a crisis of conscience due to everything to happen and promptly bolts from the mansion.
* CListFodder: Probably one of the earliest and iconic uses of this trope. While there are plenty of maiming to go around, it's the Morlocks who drop like flies.

* LeftHanging: The fates of Karma's siblings will not be resolved until 1997!
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While Thor had intended on giving the dead Morlocks a VikingFuneral, Hela revealing what was wrong with him pissed him off so much that he utterly cleaned the Tunnels of any trace of life. This has the unintentional effect of making the X-Men believe the New Mutants were dead after Magus captures them.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: In the issues of ''X-Factor'' just before the story kicks off, Freedom Force are brawling with the team when Destiny gets a vision, and tells Mystique they need to get out of there. ''Immediately.''

Below ground, something sinister was coming. The Morlocks, a sprawling society of mutants living underground, had long since lived peacefully since the day Storm fought Calisto for control of the mutant colony. However, a group of mutants known as the Marauders had learned of the Morlocks and now knew of their home. It was time for a cleansing. The horrible screams and vicious attacks would catch the attention of the X-Men and X-Factor in their own ways. Can even the aid of the God of Thunder Thor and the young super team the Power Pack save the Morlocks and the X-Men from extermination?
