  • FULL SYNOPSIS (Part 1) // Magneto is stealing a freighter and returning it to his secret headquarters somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants use the stolen freighter to attack the small nation of Santo Marco in South America. Mastermind creates an imaginary army to frighten Santo Marco's populace so the Brotherhood can easily take over the country. Professor Xavier and the X-Men travel to Santo Marco using the story of an American professor and his students on a goodwill mission. Once they are in the country, the X-Men change into their costumes and attack the Brotherhood. Mastermind tries to scare the X-Men away by creating an illusion of a fire wall in the X-Men's path. Xavier realizes that the fire is not real, so he enters it to show his students that there is nothing to fear. The X-Men devise a plan to attack the Brotherhood, but do not realize that the palace door has been booby trapped with a bomb. Just before Beast opens the door, Xavier senses the danger and hurls himself in front of the X-Men to protect them. The Brotherhood escape from the palace, but not before Quicksilver disarms a second bomb intended to destroy the entire nation along with the X-Men. Xavier regains consciousness only to learn that his telepathic powers were damaged by the explosion. // (X-Men #4)
  • FULL SYNOPSIS (Part 2) // The X-Men return Xavier to the mansion so that he can get some rest and hopefully regain his powers. The X-Men ponder what they will do without Xavier's help. On Asteroid M, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch ask Magneto why it is so important to find the X-Men, so Magneto explains that as long as the X-Men are around, they will intervene in his plans for mutants to rule the world. He then explains that he has devised a new plan in order to coax the X-Men out of their HQ. Scott ponders a plan to stop the Brotherhood when Bobby asks if he'd like to watch a track meet. Hank and Warren join Bobby by the television, along with Jean and Xavier. There is a contestant that wins the track meet using incredible jumps, so the crowd turns on him because they believe he is a cheater. The X-Men realize that the contestant is a mutant, so they head out to help him. Once they rescue the mutant from the angry crowd, the X-Men escape to the subway. As they arrive at the next station, Beast realizes something familiar about the mutant. Beast pulls off a mask to reveal that it is actually Toad, one of Magneto's henchmen. The whole Brotherhood then arrives to attack the X-Men, and Magneto captures Angel. The Brotherhood flees with Angel, but they are forced to leave Toad who was captured by the X-Men. Back on Asteroid M, Magneto interrogates Angel as to the location of the other X-Men, but Angel refuses to tell him. The X-Men try to decide what to do with Toad when he suddenly falls into a trance. Toad's only thoughts are that he has to return to Magneto. He pulls out a communicator and summons a capsule from the sky. The X-Men follow Toad, in order to find Angel. The X-Men appear on Asteroid M, to the Brotherhood's surprise. Magneto attempts to kill the X-Men with the push of a button, but the console is sabotaged by the Scarlet Witch because she cannot tolerate murder. Magneto and the two siblings argue over their loyalties, giving the X-Men time to free Angel and attack. The fighting causes some extensive damage to Asteroid M, which causes it to start to fall apart. Before the asteroid is fully destroyed, the X-Men use the capsule to return to Earth. When the X-Men return to the mansion they try to tell Xavier what happened. Xavier informs them that he was able to follow everything because he did not lose his telepathy. Since the X-Men performed this solo mission perfectly, they passed their final exams and their training is over. // (X-Men #5)
