This book is pretty good , and comes in to resolve a demand from the followers of the game , who wanted more mutants datafiles.
It offers also some ideias to run extra scenes and event , but it must be made clear to new players , that this is a supplement , and so, it can´t be bought alone , whitout the Marvel Heroic RPG Core book , and the Marvel Heroic RPG Civil War.
As to the book , i found some graphic errors , where some pictures don´t appear , and some errors in the text , but , hopefully , this can all be easily arranged with the releas of a Revised edition.
All and all , a good book , and a must have for all fans of the X Heroes....

WHAT WORKS: Some great Milestones and Unlockables that are usable in just about any X-Men campaign is great, as are some X-Men getting the Datafile treatment for the first time. In fact, from a pure character selection standpoint, this is probably the most pleased I’ve been with the datafile collection.

WHAT DOESN’T WORK: A lot of the problems with this book have more to do with the really bad place the X-Men books were in during Civil War than it does with the book itself. The gameable content feels lighter here than it does in any of the other books, but again: That was the X-Men during Civil War.

CONCLUSION: The weakest of the Civil War books, unless you just NEED the mutant datafiles (and the inclusion of X-Factor alone makes a strong argument for that), hampered by being tied to Civil War, which was a dark time creatively for the X-Men books. That said, the Unlockables and Milestones are pretty much all-purpose, and the section about playing Sentinel O*N*E pilots plays to one of Marvel Heroic’s greatest strengths in the Event set-up, which is flipping the perspective of the events on their ear by putting the players in different driver seats. That said, a set of Milestones and Unlockables for the O*N*E pilots would have taken that promise one step further and made the book that much better. I can’t call it a “must-buy” unless you’re a big X-Men fan running Marvel Heroic, because with Annihilation and Age of Apocalypse coming up, this is as close to an all-purpose X-Men book as you’re probably going to see for a while. Still, might be worth it for the oddity of seeing an X-Men product that basically ignores Storm and Wolverine (due to their activities during Civil War).

Not only is this a solid supplement for adding more to your Civil War event, but material like the included Milestones work great for any Marvel mutant themed adventures you might want to run.

Another quality product from Margaret Weis Productions! This book was highly anticipated by everyone in the MHRP community, and it was worth the wait. For those of you who may not be following the actual comics as closely as you did in the past, this book offers a good way to catch up on the latest developments of your favorite mutants, as well as introduce you to new characters. One thing to be clear on: you don't need to be running the Civil War event to make use of the book; it's full of datafiles (both Watcher and Player) and enough information to use in your own events.
