HistoryText
| - Bolivar Trask was the CEO of Trask Industries in the early 1990s. Spurred on by a belief that mutants would one day rise up and exterminate Homo sapiens, Trask created the Sentinel Program, a line of robotic weapons designed to hunt down and kill mutants in preparation for that day. After conducting experiments on various mutants, Trask became the target of the vengeful, shape-shifting mutant Mystique. She assassinated Trask in 1997.
However, Trask's assassination had an adverse affect on the mutant community. In 2016, after the recent events in New York, Washington D.C. and the Age of Ultron, Congress approved the Project. The Sentinels proved too powerful, leaving cities in ruin and almost completely wiping out mutantkind. In order to prevent this dystopian situation from having ever happened, the remaining X-Men teamed up with the New Mutants and sent Wolverine's mind back to 1997 with the mission of preventing Trask's assassination.
