Germ Free Generation

Summary

  In diamond form Emma has no defense against telepathy, so Sublime uses Johansson's brain to capture her and Scott. He finds the button on Scott's visor and smashes a statue. He plans to vivisect all the X-Men.

  Logan has been shot with metal shards from three machine guns but keeps on going; he slashes the U-Men and frees the girl, who freaks and spits acid on him. He finds alkali to pour on it, then tosses his stogie at the oxygen tanks of the U-Man behind him (cf. X-Men I:398). Boom.

  Logan takes the girl, Angel, to a diner. The owner says his son was a mutant, born with poison thorns, and he broke his neck rather than let him live a monster. He pulls a shotgun and politely asks the mutants to leave; Angel shouts profanities and flies out the window. With eyes closed and busted wings, she lands hard. She still doesn't trust Logan and wishes she could be surgically made human again.

  Jean sits with Hank and probes Beak's mind; she sees "Xavier" telepathically forced him to attack Hank. She is interrupted: the U-Men are approaching. Hank rises from his sick-bed and goes to the file on Nova, mumbling, "He's heeer…" Jean calls the cops, who dismiss the "mutie," but the students volunteer to fight beside her.

  Note: Quesada, who lost his father to lung cancer, mandates a "no-smoking" policy soon afterwards, so this may be Logan's last cigar. It will probably not be the last time he blows somebody up.

Summary
