Synopsis

Grotesk, still seeking his revenge against humanity, looks for a device to accomplish this task - the oscillotron. Professor X attempts to stop Grotesk single-handedly, but fails; Grotesk turns on the device, but the X-Men arrive in time to help destroy the machine before it can cause a massive earthquake. In the aftermath of the battle, Professor X apparently dies.
