Story Title: Messiah Complex Chapter Two
By: Ed Brubaker
Artists: David Finch, Billy Tan, Dan Miki & Allan Martinez
Synopsis: The massacre of every child in Cooperstown, Alaska is reported on the news. However, even though the bodies of some of the attackers – the Purifiers – are reported to be found, there is no mention of the corpses of the two Marauders that perished in the crossfire between the Marauders and the Purifiers. Watching the news together with Cyclops, Emma Frost speculates that Sinister sent out someone to pick up the bodies of the two Marauders. Xavier interrupts the couple’s discussion, complaining to Cyclops for leaving him outside of major decisions and stressing he wants to help. Scott reminds Xavier of all his wrongdoings, past and present, and demands he lets him do what he trained him to do: lead. Cyclops also summons Madrox and Rictor to the mansion – both of them slightly “pushed” by Emma’s telepathy – to assign them specific missions. Even though there is a higher probability the mysterious mutant newborn has ended up in the hands of Sinister, Cyclops wants Rictor to infiltrate the Purifiers in order to cover any possibility the baby was taken by them. Madrox, on the other hand, together with Layla Miller who tags along self-invited, are going to see Forge. Meanwhile, a team of X-Men, consisting of Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler and former member Angel detect a team of Acolytes whom they proceed to fight, intent on finding a lead for Exodus’ whereabouts and, through them, the Marauders. Following the fall of his teammates, Projector is forced, under the circumstances, to face Wolverine’s inquisition. In the mansion, Beast finds there’s something familiar about a blaster they retrieved from the Purifiers which he can’t pinpoint while Cyclops plans his next move. Somewhere in Canada, the monstrous Predator X – actually the one who devoured the corpses of the two Marauders – is in pursuit of a new prey.
