Summary

  The Morlocks rush into Times Square and rampage. Piotr forces Bishop not to kill them.

  In the mansion, Mikhail overpowers Bobby and frees Callisto. Bobby says both are crazy, so Mikhail charges up and changes his ice to water.

  Warren wanders off to find the altar where he was impaled (X-Factor 10). Xavier finds Brain Cell, a young telepath, and realizes he can calm the Morlocks through him. Colossus and Jean fight a Me Me, whose power is to graft other people to himself. Bishop tricks Monte into bio-blasting him, then gets surrounded by cops (investigating his murder spree, iss. 287).

  Bobby, now solid, transparent ice, is freaked. Mikhail says he just helped him achieve the ultimate extent of his powers. Bobby knocks him down with ice cubes, saying he's getting power-mad, and the X-Men are his friends. Mikhail shatters him.

  Callisto ransacks Ororo's attic and gets her vest back (iss. 170). She plans to destroy the Morlocks.

  Xavier drags himself hand-over-hand to Brain Cell, hiding in a corner. He snags his trousers on something, then realizes he has cut his leg badly. He sometimes loathes his legs, and wants vengeance on the Shadow King (iss. 280).

  Ororo calms down and sweeps the cops away from Bishop, who has opened fire. She yells at him, then flies to the Morlocks.

  Jean, seeing no other choice, turns off Me Me's mind, freeing his victims.

  Xavier gets to Brain Cell and touches him, activating the boy's telepathy and freeing the Morlocks. He comforts him, while the Morlocks retreat below ground.

  Mikhail has reverted Bobby to human flesh: he is still unwilling to kill. Callisto kisses him, saying she will work on that.
