History

The X-Brig serves as Utopia's detention and rehabilitation center.

After the X-Men relocated to Utopia, Emma Frost sanctioned Danger and Warpath to move the prisoners from Cell Block X to the new X-Brig.^[1] With Danger serving as its warden, X-Brig was divided into two areas: The Virtual Reality Prison and the X-Brig 2.0.

Virtual Reality Prison

Here Danger kept all of her wards under sedation experiencing virtual reality therapy sessions to reform them.^[2][3] Danger teamed with Doctor Nemesis and the X-Club to work on Legion's multiple personalities,^[2][4][5] unsuccessfully detained Donald Pierce until he broken free due to his Techno-Organic Virus,^[6] and kept Sebastian Shaw presence secret at Emma Frost's request.^[7]

X-Brig 2.0

The X-Brig 2.0 was a high security prison cell designed to hold Magik. After Magik manipulated the New Mutants and used Legion to destroy the Elder Gods,^[8] Cyclops ordered her to be detained and she submitted willingly.^[9] In addition to housing cutting edge technology, the X-Brig 2.0 also has magical reinforcements placed by Doctor Strange.^[10]

Release

During the X-Men's war with the Avengers, some Avengers were briefly imprisoned here. Surplus prisoners were later held in an altered piece of Limbo inside the Verkhoyansk Mountains in Russia under the watch of Magik and her Demons.^[11]

After the dispersion of the Phoenix Force, Danger returned to the ruins of Utopia and released all of her former prisoners. Additionally, she was released from Unit's control.^[12]

Alternate Realities

Age of X (Earth-11326)

When one of Legion's personas created the Age of X reality, the X-Brig was relocated to Fortress X along with most of the population of Utopia. Constructed from New York City bank vaults, this X-Brig was still run by Danger, but was meant to hold mutants whose powers were "too dangerous", specifically telepaths.^[13]
