"Mike Carey has announced plans to bring the X-Men characters Havok, Polaris and Marvel Girl to Earth as part of an upcoming X-Men Legacy story arc. The trio left Earth on a mission into space during Ed Brubaker&amp;#039;s Uncanny X-Men run back in 2006, but have yet to return after featuring in a number of cosmic events. Carey claimed that the time is now right for them to return to the X-Men, and is penning a four-issue story arc called &amp;#039;Five Miles South of the Universe&amp;#039; that will reunite them with the rest of the team. &amp;quot;The last we heard, Rachel, Havok and Polaris were on their way home,&amp;quot; Carey explained to Newsarama. &amp;quot;That was some time ago and they haven&amp;#039;t been seen. So where are they?&amp;quot; The writer said that he is enjoying being able to bring the popular characters back into current X-Men continuity, and hinted that some of them may feature in X-Men Legacy more regularly. &amp;quot;It won&amp;#039;t be a clean in-and-out,&amp;quot; Carey admitted. &amp;quot;Some of those characters will stay with us for a while.&amp;quot; The story arc will be preceded by a back-up feature in X-Men Legacy #250, in which Rachel Summers reaches out to Rogue telepathically for help. Following the conclusion of Age of X, the series is becoming a team book for the first time since its relaunch as X-Men: Legacy back in 2008, and will feature a core cast of Rogue, Professor X, Gambit, Magneto, Frenzy, and Legion. &amp;#039;Five Miles South of the Universe&amp;#039; begins in X-Men Legacy #254 this August.
