X-Men [Cyclops; Jean Grey; Wolverine; Beast; Emma Frost [White Queen]; Professor X]; Cassandra Nova; John Sublime; Angel [Angel Salvadore] (introduction)
Synopsis
Anti-mutant hysteria escalates partly due to the influence of John Sublime and his book "The Third Species," which suggests that mutants can be artificially created. Scott and Emma go to meet with Sublime but he attacks them and reveals his plan to invade the school and use the students as mutant organ donors. Elsewhere, Angel Salvadore is thrown out of her house by her father and captured by mutant hunters.
