Synopsis:

Die-Cut awakens to discover that X-Beast and M'Lish have removed the pscythe that was attached to his arm; On top of this, M'Lish slaps a skullcap on his head that causes him extreme pain unless he thinks only happy thoughts; Die-Cut is helped by S'Reeb, another Hank McCoy clone, who takes him on a tour of the underground dump where the Manmaker project sticks all of its failures; There he is forced to battle R'Vyl, S'Veer (Id-Sister's darker half) and M'Lish himself; After all conflicts end, Die-Cut finally rematerializes Santa and his mysterious metal box back to the real world where his friend shows him that his pscythe is still on his arm (it was a pesky illusion) and helps him remove the inhibiting skullcap; They finally open the metal box and reveal the head of the leader of the Manmaker project, the Red Skull.
