Story Title: Utility Of Myth
By: Joe Casey
Artists: Ron Garney & Mark Morales
Synopsis: The X-Men check out the new X-Corps headquarters and are welcomed by Banshee, who agrees to show them around and explains his strategy. In his opinion, the mutant population needs to be polices by mutants and he has drilled this team to function like an army. The X-men witness an alarm going off, as two mutants are registered battling each other in Berlin. Banshee sends his operatives to deal with the situation, and Avalanche, Surge and the Blob quickly defeat the battling Abyss and Fever Pitch and also deal with a local mutant hating militia. Banshee agrees that the X-Men accompany him to the battlesite, yet they have to keep a certain distance and probably won’t like what they see. Once in Berlin, Bashee congratulates his team, inspects the captives and interrogates the militia men, who are serving A.R.M., the Acculturation Resistance Movement, and they won’t stop until the last mutant is defeated. The X-men are shocked that their old friend is working with well known criminals and at the methods he uses to achieve his goals. The next day, Warren Worthington attends a G8 meeting in rome to talk about the rising mutant population. He points out that among mutant society there are different philosophies, and that the X-men have dedicated themselves to Charles Xavier’s dream of peaceful coexistence. Actually it should not be a genetic discussion, but one about political and social evoltuion. In the X-Corps labs, Sunpyre has studied the two captives and tells Banshee that they both have formidable powers but might be too violent to keep in line. Banshee answers “We’ll see” and he walks into a secret chamber, where Mastermind is strapped into a tank, with cables and tubes connected to her body. He plans to use her illusion power to to get both new arrivals under his control.
