Brief Description:
The Shadow King possessed Colossus chases Professor X and Stevie Hunter across the remains of the Xavier Institute. The Shadow King taunts Xavier all the while this happens, while Xavier thinks about the many things that have lead to this time and place. Eventually, Xavier and Stevie trap Colossus and to the Shadow King’s dismay, expel him from Colossus’ mind. On the astral plane, the Shadow King and Lian Shen discuss the Shadow King’s plan to destroy Xavier and the X-Men, while also the possibility that the Shadow King needs a new physical host, as Jacob Reisz is officially dead now. The Shadow King also boasts that once he has taken over the Earth, he will be heading to claim the stars. On Muir Island, Wolverine fight’s the Shadow King’s possession, and fights with the possessed Gambit, while the possessed Jubilee storms off, sick of being with the men. Wolverine is soon confronted by Forge, who manages to break the Shadow King’s (admittedly weak) control over Wolverine. The possessed Rogue arrives to attack Forge, but Forge takes her out with ease. Meanwhile, Xavier, Colossus and Stevie arrive in Salem Center, and rescue a young boy from the Shadow King’s hateful influence, before Xavier declares that they need the help of X-Factor!

Story Notes:
This is part two of the “Muir Island Saga”, preceded by Uncanny X-Men #278, and continuing in X-Factor (1st series) #69.
Xavier found Colossus in Giant Sized X-Men #1, Colossus’ first appearance.
Peter Nicholas is the alias an amnesiac Colossus took when he emerged from the Siege Perilous in Uncanny X-Men #259.
Lian Shen’s hair has been inexplicably cut short compared to her appearance last issue.
