Story Title: The Quality of Hatred
By: Chris Claremont
Artists: John Bryne
Synopsis: Storm is saved from Proteus by the timely intervention of Moira MacTaggert. Despite Proteus being her beloved son, Kevin, she shoots at him through the hurricane winds that Storm has conjured up. Cyclops stops her, but is taken out by the headstrong Scot. Proteus manages to escape, but Moira has an inkling where he might be headed, and decides to pre-empt him. The X-Men sort themselves out. Cyclops has seen Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Storm all become psychologically unnerved at Proteus’ hands. He uses a little improvised Danger Room session to snap them out of their worries, much to Wolverine’s approval. Proteus, meanwhile, takes a new host body en route to Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. Moira reaches the city before him and visits her husband, Joe MacTaggert. He left Moira twenty years earlier and, despite his violence towards her then, she warns him about his son’s imminent arrival. He is shocked to learn they have a son, but Moira is no longer interested in his feelings. As she cries in her Jeep outside Joe’s townhouse, Proteus attacks his father and takes his body as his new host. It is strong, and Proteus feels it will serve him well. The X-Men arrive in Edinburgh and confront Proteus, whose reality-warping powers again give them a difficult time. He grabs Moira and threatens to kill her, or maybe even take her body as a new host. She calls for the X-Men not to worry about her and Cyclops comes to the conclusion that she is right. Proteus must be stopped, no matter what, or who, it costs.
