Cyclops has become Dark Phoenix but the Scarlet Witch and Hope combine their powers and drive the Phoenix force from his body. Hope takes the Phoenix into herself and begins flying around the world undoing much of the damage done by the Phoenix possessed X-Men. Then she and the Scarlet Witch do away with the power of the Phoenix forever. Cyclops is arrested for his crimes but is jubilant about the fact that new mutants have once again started appearing on Earth. Cap decides to form a new Avengers made up of both mutant and non-mutant heroes.
