Brief Description:
Colossus is in disbelief that his brother is alive, but quickly learns that his eyes do not deceive him. The X-Men tell Mikhail that he needs to close the portal with his powers but Mikhail refuses to and recants the tale of how he first arrived on this world and, after a brutal confrontation, he defeated his enemy with his powers, but killed all of the thousands present, including his beloved wife. Colossus is angered that Mikhail refuses to help, leaving the rest of the team in a jam. Archangel is mind-controlled by the Avatar to serve her army and, the next day, he leads the Triumvirate against the rebels and X-Men. Jean is able to snap Archangel free from the spell, just as Iceman and Sunfire reunite with the team. Colossus is injured by the Triumvirate and Mikhail attacks. The void grows bigger and jettisons the Avatar into the sky. Colossus and the X-Men finally convince Mikhail to use his powers and, with the aid, he is able to close the portal without killing anyone. He returns the X-Men and himself to Earth with the aid of Sunfire, Iceman and Jean.

Story Notes:
Colossus explained the details of his brother's “death” in X-Men (1st Series) #99.
Though he states that the Avatar killed his companions, Mikhail later explains in Uncanny X-Men #373-373 that it was his fault for not saving his friends, as his energy warping powers did not protect them and they were all killed in the void.
