Synopsis

Iron Man learns Project Pegasus has a young boy in custody. Willie Evans is a powerful mutant who can create anything he can imagine and the doctors at Pegasus have him under heavy sedation to protect the world from his powers. X-Factor has been contacted by Willy's father who is trying to find his son. They tussle with Iron Man and the Guardsman. Willy wakes up and wreaks havoc at the project. Iron Man and X-Factor scramble to find a way to stop the young boy before he uses his powers to hurt others and himself. Willy's power proves too much for him and he burns himself out.
