Synopsis:
In the Danger Room, Colossus is having doubts about his role as an X-Man, and it takes Wolverine’s left-field approach to snap him out of it. Scott is spending the day with Colleen Wing but can’t help thinking about Professor Xavier. Their day goes well but Colleen has to leave for work and she hands him a letter with a key to her place inside. He’s welcome anytime. Charles, meanwhile, arrives in the Shi’ar galaxy, where Lilandra is greeted by a huge crowd, welcoming her as their new empress. Jean Grey is on Stornoway and she bumps into Jason Wyngarde, who unknown to her is actually Mastermind. She clearly finds him interesting but he has more sinister plans for her. Wolverine and Storm head into New York. Logan drops Storm off before spotting Mariko Yashida but, frustratingly, he is unable to catch her in time to say hello. Storm returns to the apartment, where her mother and father fell in love, only to find it inhabited by young drug addicts. After a scuffle in which her hand is cut, Luke Cage intervenes to bring the fight to a close. Elsewhere, flying from Heathrow Airport, Black Tom Cassidy and the Juggernaut meet their new employee, Arcade, who plans to take the X-Men down.
Notes:
- The X-Men fought Magneto in X-Men (1st series) #112 - 113.
- The X-Men fought the Living Monolith in Power Man & Iron Fist #57, following the last issue.
- Angus MacWhirter died in Uncanny X-Men #119.
- Jean states that she is using her telepathic powers to help carry her boxes. This is presumably an error on the writer’s part. It should be her telekinesis which does this job.
- Storm was in the Sun God’s city in Uncanny X-Men #116.
- In one of the more interesting uses of continuity, Carter, one of the young men shown in the drug den, actually turned up many years later working in Our Mother of Mercy hospital during the Operation: Zero Tolerance storyline, clearly reformed.
