Brief Description:
In the tunnels, Jean Grey helps Archangel realize that his recent problems with his wings are no one’s fault but his own and that Apocalypse took one night away from him, so it is up to Archangel to decide what to do with the rest of this life. Callisto finds Xavier and challenges him to a fight to the death. Surprisingly, Xavier is able to best Callisto without his powers and knocks her unconscious. Mikhail teleports Xavier and Callisto to him and then opens the flood gates that held back the East River, claiming that it is his duty to put himself, Callisto and the Morlocks out of their misery. Iceman finds the team and together they try to reason with Mikhail, who they discover is not as mad as they all thought, but has given up all hope for life. Colossus tries one last time to talk some sense into his brother but, fails as Mikhail uses his powers to send the X-Men out of the tunnels and to the surface to safety. Mikhail gathers his Morlocks and Callisto, as the East River crashes upon them and seemingly drowns them all.
Characters Involved:
Archangel, Bishop, Colossus, Iceman, Jean Grey, Professor Xavier, Storm (X-Men)
Callisto, Mikhail Rasputin, various unnamed mutants (Morlocks)
Story Notes:
Storm became leader of the Morlocks in Uncanny X-Men #171 after defeating Callisto in a duel. After the Mutant Massacre crossover, Masque claimed the role of the leader of the Morlocks when he resettled the group back in the sewers.
Bishop’s XSE training can be seen in XSE #1-4.
Masque was thought to have died in X-Force (1st Series) #9, but was revealed to be alive, now as a woman, probably due to his/her power, in X-Treme X-Men #36-39.
Callisto rejected the Morlocks in Uncanny X-Men #291, where they scarred her face again, leaving the woman bitter and out for vengeance.
Xavier cut his leg in Uncanny X-Men #292.
Mikhail returned from the void in Uncanny X-Men #286.
Warren’s wings were broken in X-Factor (1st Series) #10, during the Mutant Massacre crossover.
Masque altered Callisto’s body into that of a beauty in Uncanny X-Men #259-260.
Jean was “killed” in Uncanny X-Men #137, or at least that is what everyone thought at the time. In truth, it turned out to be the Phoenix II, which was impersonating Jean at the time. Jean’s most recent “death” was in Uncanny X-Men #281, where she was shot by the Sentinels, but at the last minute she sent her mind into the mistakenly deceased body of the White Queen. Jean was cloned by Sinister, resulting in Madelyne Pryor.
It will later be retconned that, at the last minute, Mikhail teleported the Morlocks into another dimension, where he trained them to be the strongest they could, as was revealed in Cable (2nd Series) #15. These Morlocks would later become Gene Nation, as seen in Uncanny X-Men #325. Further details are in Uncanny X-Men #373-374.
Forge left Storm in Uncanny X-Men #290.
