Synopsis:
Magneto stands before the X-Men, having returned to gain revenge. Wolverine wants to take him down quick but Cyclops orders him to stand down, knowing Magneto must have an ace up his sleeve. Nightcrawler teleports outside the wagon and screams. Colossus rips open the door and they discover that they are now miles above ground, held there only by Magnetos power. He explains how he came to be there. He had followed Beast to the circus and overpowered Mesmero, simply to have this opportunity to defeat them. He ejects Mesmero from the wagon and is spotted by fighter pilots, who cannot keep up with the wagon. Time passes, with the X-Men unable to do anything to stop Magneto and he takes them to the Antarctic. There, a volcano’s lava opens up before them and the wagon drops into one of Magneto’s secret bases. There, he explodes the wagon and tells them they won’t be leaving again. Cyclops takes the fight to him but Magneto proceeds to defeat each and every of them, even Phoenix, whose power fades at the most inopportune moment. When they awake later, they find themselves strapped into chairs, unable to access their powers. Magneto tells them that they will remain there, in this prison, each possessing their full power but helpless to use it. His robot, Nanny, will tend to their every need but their captivity will be a living hell.
