=== Anti-mutant rioting and the return of Madelyne Pryor ===
Footage of Cooperstown, Alaska from ''X-Men: Messiah Complex'' is eventually released to the media by [[Humanity's Last Stand|Simon Trask]], designed to deceive the public into believing that the destruction was caused by the newborn mutant messiah rather than the Purifiers.<ref name=UXM504/> The footage, coupled with Trask's newly formed "Humanity Now! Coalition" pushing anti-mutant legislation, dubbed "Proposition X", aiming to control mutant reproduction, causes an increase in mutant [[hate crime]]s, causing Scott to open the X-Men's base to anyone seeking refuge.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men #507''</ref> During this time, his growing secrecy concerning X-Force and Emma's suspicions that he is keeping something from her begin creating a rift between them.<ref name="UXM504"/> Taking advice from Storm that Scott's actions are always in the best interest of mutant-kind, Emma secretly agrees to participate in [[Green Goblin|Norman Osborn]]'s [[Cabal (comics)|Cabal]] in her own attempt to ensure the protection of the mutant population.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #505</ref>

Scott encounters his dead ex-wife, Madelyne Pryor, again when she inexplicably returns as a psychic ghost,<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #503</ref><ref name=UXM511>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #511</ref> calling herself the Red Queen and with a newly assembled all-female team of mutants calling themselves the ''[[Brotherhood of Mutants#Red Queen's Sisterhood|Sisterhood]]''.<ref name=UXM509>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #509</ref> Her team attacks the X-Men and Madelyne steals a lock of Jean's hair in Wolverine's possession, with the goal of using it to locate and inhabit Jean's body, allowing her to be reborn.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #510</ref> Scott employs [[Domino (comics)|Domino]] to exhume Jean's grave and swap her body with another.  Unaware of the switch and spurning Scott's attempt to reach out to her, Madelyne attempts to possess the body, but seemingly disintegrates into nothingness as no other body than Jean Grey's can house an entity of Madelyne's level of power.<ref name=UXM511/>
