In Nevada, there lay the ruins of a building that was once a brothel. Mutant run and mutant operated, female mutants would exploit their powers to bring pleasure to their clients. That is until its destruction by the Church of Humanity.
The X-Ranch was both a team, a company and a location of a brothel in the badlands of Nevada. Initially this organization was introduced when Angel of the X-Men decided to get more involved in his finances of his company as Chairmen of Worthington Industries. Upon closer examination he found that he[his company] both funded and continued to aid in the financial backing of a brothel known as the X-Ranch. During one of his staff meetings he questioned all in attendance but no one would explain. Unhappy, he ended the meeting and made the decision to go their himself and check things out. He, Nightcrawler and Iceman let immediately. They would head to the badlands of Nevada where tucked away they located their desired destination, the X-Ranch.
The X-Ranch was, plain and simple, a brothel. Here female mutants would use their esoteric mutant powers as prostitutes to
please their clients. There were a large number of mutants working there but the most notable were: the House Mistress known as Madame Drache, the extremely obese Bette and the pheromone controlling Stacy X. Unlike the average prostitute, many of the mutants here never actually had to have sex with the clients. Their mutant powers allowed them to complete their jobs without even touching them. Apparently Madame Drache, as the House Mistress, would actively seek out female mutants to work there as she did with Stacy X. She would also work the front desk and their first line of defense, in the event it was needed.
Angel's team would arrive and begin their investigation, and it wouldn't be a moment too soon. While there, the X-Ranch and its members would be attacked by the religious, mutant hating group known as the Church of Humanity. Sent their by their Supreme Pontiff, they were to destroy the X-Ranch and all the mutants there. Its members teleported in armed with bombs and laser rifles and killed all in sight. Outnumbered and overpowered, Angel's team of X-Men would retreat saving Stacy X, and bringing her along. They would regroup in the X-Wing and in the air they looked back watching the remnants of the X-Ranch burn down to nothing. All the female mutants and clients there were killed. The only survivor would be Stacy X. She would join the X-Men and shortly after get her revenge on the Church of Humanity.
