- Part 1 of 6 · 28 pages
When the Scarlet Witch negated the powers of most of the mutants on Earth, the energy she released woke up a mutant on an orbiting piece of space debris: a mutant who becomes very, very angry when he realizes what century it is. He enters a nearby space shuttle and uses it to rocket back to the planet. Meanwhile, the mysterious awakening burns out Cerebra and knocks Emma unconscious. Cyclops, Wolverine and Rachel investigate the shuttle crash and are quickly defeated by the powerful mutant. On Muir Isle, Banshee finds an old tape in which Moira reveals a terrible secret.
