Instead of being king. Erik just...starts a school on Genosha. So he basically kidnapped former X-men to be the teachers.
Bobby, Mimic. Kitty. Guest staring Colossus and maybe Rogue.
Kitty: You know my name! You helped pay for my college tuition!
Kitty: ugh kitty pryde. Bachelor in computer engineering
Erik: JUST a bachelor's. Morph has a masters.
Erik: Agressive like a wolverine
Erik: What are your credentials even??
Toad: I just need some job man.
Bobby: Dude come on don't be a dick
Erik: Come back to me when you have a diploma! That reminds me. Send in John.
Pyro: I'm the worst person for this.
Erik: You're here to teach writing courses. Don't worry about it.
In fairness, Kitty is an actual genius. And Morph, much as I love them, is not.
Kitty probably has a PhD by now.
Toad: How am I supposed to get a diploma, then?
Erik: (writes tuition check)
