Synopsis:
Mr. Sinister is monitoring the X-Men’s activities when he is confronted by an annoyed Malice, who has learned that she has been permanently bonded to Polaris’s body. Malice and Sinister argue for some time before Sinister puts Malice in her place and explains that she is still free to possess others. In the Australian Outback, Dazzler performs a song at a pub, while Havok goes for a night-time run in an attempt to escape his inner demons, after briefly encountering Dazzler and Longshot who are returning from the pub, Havok is visited by Madelyne Pryor, who reveals she has been watching him. Storm is using the Reavers’ computer and suddenly uncovers a media report with Jean Grey. Storm races to find Wolverine, as she is shocked that her best friend is alive. When Wolverine reveals that he has known Jean was alive, he explains his predicament in not telling Storm this. Storm is furious, and the two deal with their emotions. Psylocke, Rogue, and Colossus are having a mock battle to keep up their training, but things get nasty between Rogue and Psylocke, who knocks Rogue out, bringing the Carol Danvers persona to the front.
Notes:
-Signed by Chris Claremont on 10/03/2019
-Signed by Marc Silvestri on 10/03/2019
-Inferno - This issue acts as Prologue (only X-Men titles are numbered during Inferno, even though this is called a prologue, Inferno has been going on for two months already in X-Terminators and New Mutants)
-Polaris was possessed by Malice in Uncanny X-Men #219, and is freed from Malice’s possession in Uncanny X-Men #250.
-Psylocke battled Sabretooth on her own in Uncanny X-Men #213.
-Carol touching Psylocke is a strong hint that Claremont meant for Rogue’s problems with her power to be psychological.
