Dani Moonstar Rallies X-Force and More Mutants in New X-Men Infinity Comic Arc

A new story arc launches in X-Men Infinity Comic #11 as Dani Moonstar faces the Durisphinx, an Apocalypse acolyte threatening her mutant community in Skull Mesa. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Minkyu Jung bring together the X-Men, X-Factor, and X-Force for an epic battle of wits.

Dani Moonstar is calling in every mutant ally she knows. A dangerous new threat created by Apocalypse has arrived in Skull Mesa, Nevada, and it's going to take the combined forces of the X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, and beyond to stop it — all in a brand-new story arc kicking off in X-Men Infinity Comic (2026) #11, available now exclusively on Marvel Unlimited.

The Durisphinx Arrives in Skull Mesa

The peace of Dani's mutant community gets shattered when an Apocalypse acolyte known as the Durisphinx descends on Skull Mesa. This riddle-master doesn't fight with fists first — he challenges the X-Men with a verbal test. The catch? He's unbeatable unless someone can answer his riddle correctly. If Earth's mutant heroes can't out-think the Durisphinx, they'll have no choice but to try to overpower him.

A Mutant Team-Up of Epic Proportions

Writer Steve Orlando and artist Minkyu Jung are launching this new arc with a massive roster pull. Dani Moonstar — the Cheyenne mutant with psychic and Valkyrie powers who has been a fixture of X-Men stories since the original New Mutants — realizes she can't face this threat alone. The result is a who's-who of mutant teams converging on Skull Mesa, making this one of the most ambitious crossover arcs the Infinity Comic line has seen.

For X-Men fans, the Durisphinx's connection to Apocalypse adds an intriguing layer. Apocalypse — one of the oldest and most powerful mutants in Marvel lore — has a long history of creating tests and trials for mutantkind. The Durisphinx appears to be another of his creations, though this one trades brute force for cerebral combat.
