Synopsis

Magneto arrives and, with the help of Sentinel, confronts Xavier mentally in an attempt to reach him in his comatose state. Because Magneto has lost his mutant powers, Exodus and the Acolytes look on him with mistrust. Xavier wakes up and tries to orient himself but is immediately attacked by Frenzy. Magneto steps in to save his old friend by shooting a laser through Johanna's eye and into her brain. Exodus is furious that a "flatscan" has harmed a mutant and prepares to kill Magneto and so it becomes Professor X's turn to step in and play savior.
