Master Mold faced Power Pack in an attempt to kill Franklin Richards. As the youngsters fought the demented robot, he revealed the nature of the Twelve: “The dozen mutant humans who will one day rise up and lead all of mutantkind in war against homo sapiens in the twilight of Earth.” The subsequent mention of the Twelve came from Apocalypse himself, claiming that not only was he one of the “fabled Twelve”, but so too were all five original X-Men, Charles Xavier, Storm, Cannonball and Cable. Soon after, Xavier revealed the “List of Twelve”, written in Destiny’s Diary. The Twelve were: Magneto and Polaris, representing opposing magnetic poles. Storm, Sunfire and Iceman, representing the elements (with Storm evolving into a primal elemental force), Cyclops, Phoenix and Cable, representing family (Father, Mother, Child), and chosen for the power of the Summers-Grey bloodline, Bishop and Mikhail Rasputin, representing time and space, respectively, Professor X, representing the mind and finally The Living Monolith as the core.
