Publisher’s description

Born from the unnatural union of a Dire Wraith father and a human mother, the malevolent Hybrid has used his powerful psionic and shape-changing abilities to trick the X-Men into thinking that Rom is the evil one. Now, Rom must stave off the powerful mutants long enough to convince them of the true threat before it is too late
