Brief Description:
The Morlocks attack Callisto and the Healer for betraying them and nearly beat them to death. The two reach Xavier’s mansion, where Mikhail Rasputin empathizes with Callisto, as both have lost their people. However, Mikhail is slightly mentally unbalanced, as he has been talking with the “ghosts” of all those who he has killed. The Healer uses his last strength to heal Callisto before dying but Callisto is also reverted back to her natural, ugly state. The X-Men and Xavier head to the Morlock Tunnels, while Iceman stays to watch Callisto. Mikhail orders Iceman to free Callisto but Iceman refuses, leaving Mikhail no other choice but to use physical force to free her. In the Tunnels, Xavier deduces that the Morlocks madness is being caused by an emotional telepathic mutant, who has linked all the Morlocks together and is causing them to kill each other. To make amends for her failure as their leader, Storm tries to calm the Morlocks down but they surround her and Storm’s claustrophobia takes over. Storm uses her lightening to free herself from the Tunnels and escape into Time Square but accidentally frees the mad Morlocks with her.

Story Notes:
Masque altered Callisto’s body in Uncanny X-Men #259-260.
Mikhail’s story can be seen in Uncanny X-Men #286 and is retold in Uncanny #374.
Masque re-engineered the Morlocks and appeared to die in X-Force (1st Series) #9. However, as revealed in X-Treme X-Men #36-39, he/she is very much alive.
Archangel’s wings were broken by the Marauders in X-Factor (1st Series) #10, during the Mutant Massacre crossover.
Bishop saw the radiation sign while chasing Fitzroy in the future in Uncanny X-Men #286.
The sub-plot with the man in the asylum is dropped by Scott Lobdell. It was revealed in X-Factor (1st Series) #106 that it was supposed to be Steven Lang and that his appearance this issue was a foreshadowing of the Phalanx Covenant crossover.
The Shadow King shattered the Professor’s spine in Uncanny X-Men #280.
Forge accused Storm of not having a life outside the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #290.
