Malign Influences

Summary

  Ship is malfunctioning. Apocalypse, observing, plans to avenge himself on them, especially Ship, which had been his until issue 25.

  Warren and Charlotte renew their relationship; Jean and Scott have a heart-to-heart; Bobby takes Opal out; and Hank watches Trish on TV.

  Apocalypse's thugs crash their ship into Ship, board, and attack. Psynapse attacks Jean on the astral plane, and this triggers the resurgence of her telepathic power. She quickly defeats Psynapse and Gauntlet, and the other villains have already been subdued.

  Meanwhile, however, Hardware is infiltrating Ship's cybernetic core, shutting it down.

  Note: the first part of the Apocalypse Manifesto is appended to this issue, giving an analysis of Warren, Scott, and Jean. Scott is listed as progenitor of "the Twelve."
