Owner's Description

“Dominant Species - conclusion” At White Plains, Warren and Paige continue to battle the ferocious werewolves, and Warren finds out that Maximus was responsible for his father’s death. The injured Paige falls unconscious, and Warren tells himself that he must save her at all costs. He manages to get the werewolves off of her and they manage to escape. Though not for long as the werewolves herd them back to Lobo-Tech Industries. Warren discovers that he has a healing factor in his blood and uses it to heal Paige. The wolves return, and Warren discovers that Lobo has been selling Stark Industries products under the Lobo-Tech label. The X-Men and Juggernaut soon arrive, and a battle ensues. As Maximus Lobo releases flammable liquid into the building he then sets it alight. Juggernaut shields everyone while they all escape. Safe in the streets below, the X-Men witness the building blow up and Juggernaut walk out. Archangel’s healing factor heals his wounds, and they return home. At the Xavier Institute, Havok, Polaris and Annie try to help Professor X, who is still linked, to Annie’s son, Carter. When the two are finally separated, Xavier tells Annie that they need to have a serious talk about her son, and his father. Later, Archangel says goodbye to Psylocke, before moving on with his life, and visiting Paige. <br /><br />Warren having a healing factor in his blood solves the mystery of why his skin is not longer blue, after the battle with Black Tom in Scotland [Uncanny X-Men #410-412]. <br /><br />The “him” that Paige refers to that Psylocke never loved like she loved Warren was Neal Sharaa, the third Thunderbird. The two began a relationship in X-Men (second series) #109, and it continued until Betsy’s death in X-Treme X-Men #2. <br /><br />Paige’s claim that Psylocke had foreseen her death might come out of the blue, but it is not completely impossible, since the first psychic ability Betsy manifested was precognition and even during her time with the X-Men she displayed the occasional precognitive dream or flash. <br /><br />The Stark that Warren and Maximus refer to is, of course, Stark Industries, owned by Tony Stark, Iron Man of the Avengers. <br /><br />Northstar has been able to create light on his own since the second Alpha Flight series, while previously only his twin sister Aurora could create light on her own [Alpha Flight first series #17], however with so many power changes over the years, Jean-Paul can now create light on his own. Ironically enough, since the doctors within Weapon X have messed with Aurora’s mind [Weapon X the Draft; Wildchild], she apparently can no longer create light on her own, however it is unknown whether the twins still can create a brilliant light together when touching. <br /><br />Psylocke was not the only woman Archangel had ever loved, prior to her there was Candy Southern, whom he had a relationship with for many years before dating Betsy after Candy’s death. And while perhaps not love, Warren had a steady relationship with Charlotte Jones also, not to mention that he once pursued Jean Grey and Dazzler respectively. <br /><br />Maximus Lobo’s claim that he murdered Warren’s father does NOT contradict the original tale that Warren’s uncle Burtam AKA Dazzler I was responsible for the death (as told in issues of Ka-Zar Quarterly and Marvel Tales), since Burtram HAD his brother killed instead of committing the murder himself. Apparently Maximus Lobo was one of the men he had paid to do so.<br /><br /><br />
