History: The group was initially created by Yamairo, Fawkes and Hank. Using Yamairo's teleporting, Hank's tracking, and Fawkes knowledge, they tracked evolved humans and helped they train and control their powers. While they helped dozens, only 3 more members joined before the start to the story.
William was the first to join, after Yamairo contacted him. He was already familiar with Fawkes, and fit quickly in.
Soon, Holst became a member, and thanks to his ability, the group now had a means to predict the possible tragedies related to evolved humans. Finally, Anna was the last member to join.
As the story starts, we see that Yamairo helps Filipe get a grip of his powers, and he decides to join as well. These 6 were the core members, with Hank staying mostly out and helping with location people.

Soon, Yamairo tracked down Milo, Nate and Troy, as they were fighting each other. He stopped the battle, and brought Milo and Nate with him. He also found Isabel during this time. The four became unofficial members. Several others joined, thanks to the continuous confrontations with Zulan.

At first, they stayed separated and were reunited by Yamairo when needed. However, the growing threats lead them to take up permanent residence in the warehouse. Milo sponsored the group, making the house a place fitting for habitation. Eventually, after defeating the efforts by Jason to bring down evolved humans, they discovered the truth about their existence and their relation to what everyone believed was the fiction of the Marvel universe. They then officially named themselves the Shadow X-Men. The first members were Yamairo, Milo, Nate, Fawkes, William, Anna, Holst, Filipe, Harry, James, Alisa, Isabel, Troy, Katy, Chulance, Kano, Dave and Sandra
The team became popular due to saving the earth multiple times and stopping the outbreak of evolved humans. Their popularity was nearly ruined due to Cyber's book and numerous conflicts with the Government. During these times, they formed the Genosha school and create the island for mutants, as they were now called, to live in. They dealt with such threats as the Controller incident, the Secret wars, Samuel's group and even Loki and the symbiotes.

In the civil war, they were torn apart, and only with Milo's return did they go back to active duty.
They next appeared as a group when the Akatsuki attacked Genosha island, nearly wiping out the school and even the SXM themselves. However, Namini, the attacked, revived everyone and the SXM managed to defeat Akatsuki and their leader Madara

Later they helped fend off the predator invasion.
Perhaps their greatest fight came with the Phoenix Alliance. Several of their members including Sandra and Milo were taken by the enemy, and the remaining ones were left to pick up the pieces.
Despite this, thanks to help from Aaron and Amber, the SXM managed to defeat the Alliance. However, the discovery that they made shocked them. That the X-Men had been killed by a group seeking to prevent the power nemesis. The Hunters.
With all this happening, organization became important. The SXM were split into teams to better make use of their powers.

The first test came upon Akatsuki and the Espada's return. They went around gathering different element users. During this time the SXM gained a new recruit in Marie, an aerokinetic. She helped sheer Milo up.
However, Akatsuki went as far as to attack Genosha and revive Madara, turning Sandra back to the Dark Phoenix and destroying some of the island. The SXM went after them, and it was discovered that Urukiora of the Espada was actually a niyaphem, a demon mutant and son of Iliria. Madara hoped to open the portal to the Brimstone Dimension and asked her to return his body, while Urukiora was manipulated by her. It's also revealed that Shadow, one of the members of Manny's pirate crew is also her son, but he never discovers this
In the end she was freed. She separated Madara but ended up killing him, and fighting Milo and the others. Namini managed to close the portal, and Iliria fled not waiting a fight

Their next crises came with something that had happened during the Skrull invasion and the Legacy Wars. The Olympians, outraged that the SXM had freed Kronos, attacked Genosha and demanded that the criminals who did so, Anna, Alisa, Keel and Ezekiel be handed to them. The SXM obviously put up resistance and thus incurred the wrath of the Greek pantheon. The Gods attacked Asgard to make sure they wouldn't get in the way, locking up Kano and others in Hades' dimension.
After a great deal of struggle, including the destruction of Los Angeles and Amber getting involved, they managed to buy 3 days. During which they searched for Kronos.
Kronos himself had been starting a plot to obtain the time gem. Yamairo, using his connection with time, found him, but was quickly captured. Milo did the same and a fight ensued. Kronos go away however.
Meanwhile, Zeus, growing tired of waiting, prepared to attack Earth once again. the SXM managed to procure help of Gaea, and just when it seemed she would calm things, Zulan's team arrived and attacked Olympus, with Tenshi's special power proving to be their weakness. They were defeated despite Gaea's best attempts to stop the fight.
With Olympus out of the way, the Titans made their move. However, again, Tenshi's power proved vital and the SXM and their allies, including Olympus itself (what was left of it) managed to drive them off in the end.

The next incident started with a mission of the covert ops team. A quick investigation mission went terribly wrong, and the team was all defeated, and Anna taken. This showed the SXM the existence of an organization called AVALANCHE, mercenaries without a cause. They were hired by Iliria as her private task force. Meanwhile, Iliria uses her powers and her inside mole (Tesla) to force Marie to break up with Milo and thus make him depend on her.
Anna, somehow involved with them, was taken and of her free will started working with them. Eston of Manny's crew did the same, albeit in a much less inconspicuous way. When the SXM found that Iliria was the common denominator in all of it, they went to her mansion to attain answers. There, they found a man by the name of Sefirot. Apparently, long ago, this man killed Anna's brother, which promoted the first manifestation of her full powers and caused her to develop stress induced amnesia. When her powers reemerged after that, they were in a stress induced block. The telepath of AVALANCHE had awoken the necessary memories for her to work with them again.
As the SXM fight this mercenary, even Milo proves to barely be a match for his expert fighting skills. Just when it seems like it'll end, Alisa arrives on the scene and causes him to loose control of his powers. However, as she runs to Anna, Sefirot emerges from the explosion his powers caused and kills her. As Alisa dies in Anna's arms, Sefirot vanishes, intending on becoming a God. As it turns out, his power revolves around using the Earth's biosphere energy, fusing with it and controlling all life on the planet. However, Gaea sends Sandra, Milo and Anna into the stream and they expel him through psionic attacks. Anna exits first and meets him at the location of the first AVALANCHE base. As it turns out, Sefirot and Anna's brother were great friends while in AVALANCHE. After another fight, Anna turns herself into pure kinetic energy and kills Sefirot with one final attack, loosing control and disappearing. Sefirot vanishes in a wave of the biological energy he controlled

While Anna was still missing, other plots were afoot. A strange church had began to move in it's "sacred" duty to exterminate all humans. As this church somehow causes disappearances of large buildings at once to obtain ransoms and funds, the SXM are forced to deal with an attack on the Genosha by Iliria, who made a copy of Isabel through homunculus alchemy to get inside Yamairo's head for her personal amusement. The attack failed due to a sudden return of Anna, who defeated the clone when Yamairo could not.
Moving back to the church, it seems their overall goal was the resurrect Apocalypse. However, the evil mutant soon went out of hand and fired several warheads towards major cities, intent on killing mutants and humans alike. Just as it seemed hopeless, the inhumans intervened and stopped the missiles. The SXM then defeated Apocalypse putting an end to his plan.

Meanwhile, the Red Room (or rather, the remnants) used him to cause a mass pandemic of the Legacy Virus amongst the mutants, and in the infected counted Yamairo. Filipe himself had decided to master his powers to new degrees and broken quarantine to train elsewhere. The SXM procured the help of Virus and him and William got to work on making a cure. Meanwhile, the Hunters had began to move. When he decided not to go after Filipe, Harry broken quarantine as well
At their training sight, Harry and Filipe were attacked by the Russian forces and Harry was infected. William, who was out looking for him was attack by a mysterious agent, the "Black Reaper". He defeated the Shinigami Doctor and then proceeded in capturing both an infected Harry and Filipe. The infected Harry escaped to Genosha, and just when it seemed as if he would infect the entire island, Silver Surfer appeared and solved the problem. William also found the cure and vaccinated the SXM against the disease.

Surfer says he appeared because of the soon to be attack Hunters. Milo sends out a message to everyone, villain and hero alike, that the final battle drew near. Meanwhile, Filipe takes training from the Black Reaper, or Hei, in order to master his powers, and in return agrees to help Hei with a mission he must perform during the invasion. Kano takes up training in the runic magic. Meanwhile, Marie, wishing to rid the homunculus Isabel from Iliria's control, takes a team and attacks her, Milo protects Iliria. However, Harry finally deduces exactly what Iliria had done with Marie. Milo finally snaps and threatens her if she ever goes near Marie again. Harry takes the cue to force Iliria to release Isabel. Back on Genosha, Anna finally finds out what happened to Bernard. He became a Hunter under the hivemind's control

Spending the last few days as if their last, the SXM thus arrive at the final battle. The war starts in space where Nono, accompanied by the Buster Corps, starts the offensive on the massive Hunter fleet. Soon Kano, with full mastery of the runs, arrives.
On earth, the Hunters converge their efforts of the epicenter of superhuman power, Genosha. There, the X-Force guard the beach, while the SXM and Avengers fight across the island. While at first they manage to succeed in defending themselves, soon, the Hunters using a massive beam destroy the entire harbor area and kill Donny of the X-Force. As they prepare a second blast, however, Manny's crew, in Menace's navy ship, slam into them. As they do, Gary and Stewart arrive and begin to destroy the Hunter ground fleet. Meanwhile, in the center, it seems as if the Hunters are sending out the more power fighters. Anna and AVALANCHE end up fighting Bernard. Milo fights the Sentry Hunter.
In Namini's village, she's attacked by the Rulk Hunter. As it seems hopeless for the fighters, the villains arrive and manage to help out in deflecting the attacks on various points. The Espada in the center of the island, and Akatsuki at the docks. Milo meanwhile manages, with the other's help, to defeat Prime and Zulan. He gathers the strongest fighters on Earth and prepares to attack the main Hunter ship. The remaining fighters decide to take the fight to the major cities.

Meanwhile, at the mansion, Filipe arrives to save it from a hunter attack. But, he moves away as quickly as he came when he notices that Hei was attacked by Harry. The two friends fight with Filipe trying to stop Harry from getting in the way of the Black Reaper, whose mission is to take Yin to the center of the island.
In space, thanks in part to the inhuman fleet, the space fleet is also defeat. Nono moves quickly to the main ship.
Back on Earth, the SXM are being pushed back in the cities, particularly NYC, but when the Harbor forces clear their area and go for support, they manage to pull through. Hei defeats several SXM along the way and reaches the center of the island, and Filipe defeats Harry, deciding to go meet Hei to finish this "mission". Back in space, Milo's forces manage to just barely defeat the Hunter leader, with the sacrifice of Nono's degeneracy engine, and Milo becoming the new leader. Back on Genosha, it turns out that Hei's mission was the use Yin to kill all mutants on the island. Just as Yin is about to refuse, she looses control, and Hei uses his mysterious powers to create a gigantic quantum barrier around the center of the island, taking himself and Filipe with him.
The war ends with many casualties, but the super heroes of Earth survived

Months have passed since the Hunter war. Harry has left the team, along with some others. One of their last missions is dealing with a strange kidnapper in Miami, which turns out to be a decoy. Jorgan rigs the election becomes the President of the United States, and frames Aaron as a criminal. Using that, he dissolves SHIELD and instates HAMMER. He forces every super human to register to the monitoring act and starts what many call "Dark Reign". The island of Genosha is attack by a bomb that takes almost all mutants and SXM members to the fiction prisons of Carmen. James join the Dark Avengers to protect the girl
Some members escape and form a resistance with other superheroes.

The SXM are dissolved at the end when it proves impossible for the mutant team to remain active. However, the members that remain together, along with some returning ones (Harry and Filipe) are forced to deal with a returning Shawkun, who gets Nightmare to help him with dealing with the dispersed members, including taking the Phoenix from Sandra. He also gets Spike to turn all of them against Milo. Jin, who's in on the plan, forces Katy to join him after altering her personality, and also gets her to kill Troy. The SXM manage to track Shawkun down, and Milo engages him. Proving unable to defeat him, he tricks him and gives his soul for his, but in the end overwhelms him from within and takes his soul.

After this, the SXM, still somewhat scattered, attack and take back Genosha island, turning into a free nation and a utopia for mutants. During this time they're forced to deal with many different fronts. Sefirot manages to return, and Sandra regains her status as the Phoenix, including becoming the White Phoenix of the Crown. Meanwhile, Jin continues his manipulation of his sister Katy to turn her into as bad a person as he is. Harry and Filipe try to maintain their status as agents of MI6 and CIA. Terrel deals with freeing the other symbiote from the government's control.

After Sandra's intervention, Katy returns to the team and Troy is revived. Terrel quits the team after Surfer nearly kills Riya due to his fight and murder of Kosmos. Meanwhile, as the Hellfire Club scatter due to the arrival of Azathoth and the awakening of Iliria as an Outer God, Anna returns to the team and deciding to finally put an end the Inner Circle, who are now scattered and weakened.
Meanwhile the other members deal with the revival of several villains, some from the old generation of heroes.
