Editing Days of Future Past (section)

==Plot==
The storyline alternates between the present year of 1980 and the future year of 2013. In the future, [[Sentinel (comics)|Sentinels]] rule a dystopian United States, and mutants are hunted and placed in [[internment camp]]s. Having conquered North America and hunted all mutants and other [[superhuman]]s, the Sentinels are turning their attention to the rest of the world. On the eve of a feared [[nuclear holocaust]], the few remaining X-Men, while making a desperate attempt to stop the Sentinels, send Kitty Pryde's mind backward through time, to possess the body of her younger-self and to prevent a pivotal event in mutant–human history and the cause of these events: the assassination of [[Robert Kelly (comics)|Senator Robert Kelly]] along with [[Charles Xavier]] and [[Moira MacTaggert]] by [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique's]] newly reassembled [[Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Claremont|first=Chris|title=The Uncanny X-Men #141: Days of Future Past|date=January 1980|publisher=Marvel Comics}}</ref>

Working with the present-day X-Men, Kitty Pryde's future-self succeeds in her mission and is pulled back to her own time, while her present-day-self is returned with no memory of any interim. The world of 2013 is not shown again in this story arc; the present-day X-Men are left to ponder whether their future dystopia has been averted or simply delayed.<ref>{{cite book|last=Claremont|first=Chris|title=The Uncanny X-Men #142: Mind out of Time|date=February 1980|publisher=Marvel Comics}}</ref>
