Genosha is an island nation that appears in the Marvel Comics and a prominent location in the X-Men comics. Located off the east coast of Africa, the island once served as an allegory for Mutant slavery before becoming a sanctuary and homeland for Mutantkind. The capital on Genosha is Hammer Bay.
Genosha appeared in the first X-Men film as an uncharted island where Magneto established a base for himself and the Brotherhood. The island would appear again in Dark Phoenix as a mutant refuge run by Magneto.
In X-Men '97, the United Nations discuss intergrating Genosha with Madelyne Pryor, Banshee, Moira MacTaggert, Callisto, Emma Frost, and Sebastian Shaw as the country's ruling council. However tragedy strikes in "Remember It" when the island falls under attack by Sentinels and Master Mold, causing massive death and destruction.
