Synopsis

Under the influence of the Goblin Queen, the X-Men and X-Factor renew their conflict with each other. Jean and Maddie battle as Maddie reveals that she is a clone created by Mr. Sinister and brought to life by the power of the Phoenix. When the Goblin Queen releases the Phoenix to kill Nathan Christopher and open a doorway to Limbo, Jean is able to absorb the Phoenix force away from the Goblin Queen but, as this is what was powering Maddie's life, she dies. New York returns to normal and the Inferno is quenched. The X-Men and X-Factor vow to track down Mr. Sinister and make him pay.
