Brief Description:
Bishop, Colossus and Jean Grey battle against the mad Morlocks in Time Square, as Storm tries to recover from her claustrophobia. Jean and Colossus battle MeMe, who can absorb living things into him and can keep them after a certain amount of time. Colossus, who is impervious to MeMe’s powers, defeats the mutant but is unable to free the innocent humans absorbed. Jean, sensing that time is almost up for the humans, mentally turns off MeMe’s mind, freeing the humans but killing MeMe. Bishop is ordered to surrender by police officers, who are investigating the murders he is behind. Bishop tries to startle them away but accidentally explodes a cruiser. Storm saves the officers and tells Bishop that this is the last straw and she has had enough with his ultra-violent tactics. Professor Xavier finds the Morlock responsible, a child named Brain Cell, who is in a narrow passage. Xavier crawls though but cuts his leg open. He is still able to break Brain Cell’s control on the Morlocks and ends Masque’s influence on the boy. The Morlocks retreat, but the X-Men give chase. In the mansion, Mikhail shows Iceman his true potential, but quickly subdues the man before he can interfere anymore. Mikhail and the free Callisto head to the sewers. Meanwhile, Archangel finds himself drawn to the place where his wings were broken and discovers that he is going mad.
