The purpose of this page is to keep track of the Exiles‘ many missions in the alternate realities they visit. The Tallus allows the team to remain in contact with their mission control in the Crystal Palace, while the Exiles do their best to restore the timeline to what it should be. Along the way, personal relationships between the members are formed and some facts of their homeworlds are revealed. This information is displayed in blue letters, while the basic mission text is in black.

A fight erupts as the Exiles and Sabretooth would prefer another solution, while the rest of Weapon X wants to perform the job and go on to their next mission.

Sunfire dies while fighting the Mimic, Blink returns. |

| mission 24 | Exiles #50-51 | The Exiles’ arrival in the next dimension is predicted by Destiny of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and in a clever plan Mystique takes Blink’s place, making the Exiles help them bust the Brotherhood’s leader, the “Big M”, out of prison. When the real Blink comes around, she learned from the Tallus that the Exiles are actually supposed to stop that break-out. She heads to the prison as well, where it becomes clear that the Big M is this reality’s version of the Mimic. During a fight between the two Mimics, the Big M telepathically probes his counterpart’s mind, and inspired by this different version of his life, he decides to change for the better as well.

| mission 25 | Exiles #52-53 | On an Earth infected by Ego, the Living Planet, the Exiles have to aid the Fantastic Four in reasoning with Earth-Ego’s mind to convince him not to attack humanity and to shake off Ego’s influence, who wants Earth-Ego to join him in his attack on the Celestials.

| mission 26 | Exiles #54 | A rather simple mission for the Exiles awaits them, as they only have to buy the last Cheese Danish from a certain bakery. They are unaware that this act sets an entire chain of events in motion, ultimately avoiding this Earth being invaded by an alien army. |
| mission 27 | Exiles #54-57 | In one reality, Kulan Gath was successful with his masterspell that transformed Earth back to the Hyborian Age.

The Exiles have to team up with some of the few unaffected heroes of this place, Magik and Spiderman, in order to end Zarathos’ rule. They even ally up with Kulan Gath for that goal, though in the end it’s Selene who benefits from the other two sorcerers defeating each other, her becoming the new ruler of this Earth.

| mission 28 | Exiles #58 | On the next stop, the Exiles have to perform a rather simple mission, namely to make sure that a group of scientists doesn’t accidentally ignite Earth’s atmosphere.

Heather is purged of Tanaraq; although she now has control over her body again, she no longer has her powers as Sasquatch. |

When the Tallus tells her that the next mission is to kill the Mimic, she openly rebels and declares to quit the team. As Sabretooth too refuses the Timebroker’s orders to perform the kill, the Exiles are sent away to receive a punishment. Heather is not teleported along the rest of the Exiles, apparently Sabretooth is supposed to be her replacement. |
