They end with a tiebreaker trivia question and announce the winner.
The episode opens with the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, receiving distressing reports of increasing anti-mutant sentiment across the globe. Mutant discrimination has reached alarming levels, fueled by fear and misinformation spread by anti-mutant organizations.
Meanwhile, in the heart of New York City, a series of mysterious attacks target mutants specifically. The assailants, armed with advanced technology and powered by a deep-seated hatred for mutants, leave destruction and chaos in their wake. As tensions escalate, the X-Men find themselves stretched thin trying to protect both mutants and humans alike.
Amidst the turmoil, Professor Xavier's teachings of tolerance and coexistence are put to the ultimate test. Some mutants begin to question whether peaceful integration is still possible in a world increasingly hostile towards them. The rifts within mutant society deepen as differing ideologies clash, threatening to tear apart the very fabric of the X-Men's unity.
As the episode unfolds, a sinister conspiracy begins to unravel, revealing a shadowy figure pulling the strings behind the anti-mutant attacks. The X-Men race against time to uncover the truth behind the orchestrated violence and prevent further bloodshed. However, they soon realize that their greatest enemy may not be a single adversary, but the pervasive prejudice and fear that pervades society.
With stakes higher than ever before, the X-Men must confront the harsh reality that in a world consumed by intolerance, the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred. As alliances are tested and loyalties questioned, the mutants must band together like never before to combat the forces of hatred and bigotry threatening to engulf them all.
"Tolerance is Extinction, Part 1" sets the stage for an epic showdown between the X-Men and their most dangerous adversaries...
