Synopsis:
Ororo and Stevie Hunter's trip to the ballet is interrupted by Miss Locke, who explains she needs the X-Men to rescue Arcade from Doctor Doom. She has captured the Greys, Moira MacTaggert, Candy Southern, Amanda Sefton and Illyana Rasputin to ensure their cooperation, and takes Stevie to complete the set. Storm informs Professor X, who summons Ex-X-Men Havok, Polaris, Iceman and Banshee to the mansion, as they need help to rescue their loved ones. While the four newcomers prepare to rescue the hostages from Murderworld, the rest go to Doom's castle. Storm's attempt to distract Doom while the others rescue Arcade fails, and Storm finds herself transformed to chrome, while the other X-Men are easily defeated. Meanwhile, Scott and Lee Forrester find themselves stranded on a deserted island after a freak storm; Scott is without his ruby quartz glasses.
Notes:
- Arcade ran afoul of Doom in Marvel Two-in-One, during his dealings with Toadworld.
- While Claremont intended for this to be the real Dr. Doom, John Byrne Suggested that this is just one of his Doombots (and a faulty one at that) in Fantastic Four #258. Uncanny X-Men #197 later validates this as well.
- Xavier's suspicions about Magneto are, of course, correct, as revealed in Uncanny X-Men #148.
- The spelling of Captain Forrester's name appears to change in this issue, from Aleytys to Aleytis, which is odd seeing as both are by the same writer.
- While Colossus's sister had appeared before in Giant-Size X-Men #1, this is the first time she has been given a name.
