Synopsis:
Instead of returning home, Cyclops brings the X-Men to Angel’s New Mexico home, where he discusses matters with Angel and learns that he too is a member of the Hellfire Club, a club for millionaires. After Jean and Scott share a tender moment, Angel gets them invitations for the Club’s next big bash and four of the X-Men attend. The club’s Inner Circle acts and Wyngarde finally gains complete control over Phoenix, turning her into the Black Queen and making her attack Cyclops. The other club members beat the rest of the surprised X-Men, only Wolverine seemingly perishes in the fight. While the Inner Circle congratulates itself and power struggles between the members are already looming, an exhausted but angry Wolverine claws his way back, spoiling for a rematch.
Notes:
- As previously mentioned, John Byrne based Jason Wyngarde’s likeness on actor Peter Wyngarde. By the same token, Sebastian Shaw is based on Robert Shaw, Donald Pierce on Donald Sutherland and Harry Leland on Orson Welles.
- Though not named in the issue, the unnamed, silent, black-haired attendant of the Inner Circle is later X-Man Tessa (aka Sage). This is her first appearance.
- Wolverine’s “Six Million Dollar Man” quip refers to a TV show of the same name starring Lee Majors.
