Xorn debuts in New X-Men Annual 2001 imprisoned in an iron prison by the Chinese government where a corrupt mutant official offers to sell him to John Sublime. Xorn is forced to wear a skull-like mask designed to restrain his energy output, which would have the power to incinerate matter. The X-Men and Sublime's U-Men find Xorn just as he is attempting to commit suicide by removing his mask, which will envelop the earth in a black hole. Cyclops (with the help of Emma Frost) is able to establish contact with Xorn, convincing him not to kill himself and offers him a position among the X-Men. Xorn accepts the offer, but doesn't show up again until New X-Men #122, where Cyclops tracks him down to a monastery where he is told by the monks that Xorn has demonstrated healing powers. The pair are captured by the Shi'ar but arrive at the X-Mansion in time for Xorn to heal the X-Men of a nano-Sentinel infection, restoring Professor Xavier's ability to walk in the process.
Despite the ordeals through which he had passed, Xorn is optimistic, open and even somewhat naive. Xorn keeps a diary to share his thoughts with Professor Xavier, since Xavier is "blinded by the sun beneath [his] mask" and cannot read his mind.[1] Here he details his interactions with Chinese immigrants and the residents of Mutant Town in New York City, in particular an incident where he failed to save a young mutant from being killed by frightened policemen. Xorn is soon put in charge of the "Special Class", a group of physical and social misfits attending the Xavier Institute. Though he hopes to befriend these students, he becomes disillusioned as they began to mock and insult him. He remains determined to help his "Special Class," even saving their lives from a group of U-Men.

In the storyline " Planet X", Xorn takes off his mask, revealing himself to be none other than the X-Men's arch-nemesis Magneto, who has been believed dead since the destruction of Genosha. Magneto explains that the Xorn identity was merely a ruse crafted, along with the prison in China, with the help of supporters in China in order to infiltrate the X-Men.[2] Having returned Xavier to a crippled state (Xavier had not been healed - Magneto merely used the nano-Sentinels to "glue" his spine together), Magneto levels the X-Mansion and takes over New York City, where he enslaves the human population and destroys much of the city. He attempts to recreate the Brotherhood with Toad, the rebellious Stepford CuckooEsme, and the members of Xorn's "Special Class."
Magneto finds however that many of his recruits are unresponsive to his ideas and approach, with some asking for the return of much more humane Xorn and others doubtful that Magneto has truly returned, much to his chagrin. Indecisive and relying heavily on the drug Kick to augment his power, he struggles to maintain the loyalty and respect of his followers. He announces a plan to invert the planet by reversing its magnetic poles, and employs increasingly fascistic methods (including the construction of a Nazi-esque crematorium in which he plans to eradicate the remaining human population of the city). He also appears to be experiencing a form of Multiple Personality Disorder, as the "Xorn" persona begins to manifest itself as a voice within Magneto's head, claiming to be the embodiment of Magneto's wisdom, idealism and nobility. After his defeat at the hands of the X-Men but before his capture, he fatally wounds Jean Grey. This drives Wolverine berserk, who then decapitates him.
