Plot Summary

Cyclops takes the X-Men to Angel’s New Mexico home, because he thinks someone might be spying on the X-Mansion and Danger Room, since the Hellfire Soldiers know too much about their powers and strategy. He also wants to talk to Angel about Jean's new powers and personality. There, he learns that Warren too is a member of the Hellfire Club, a club for the rich and powerful. Angel gets them invitations for the Hellfire Club’s big anniversary party.

The X-Men attempt to sneak in, but they are quickly spotted. Jason Wyngarde separates Jean from Scott and gains complete control over her mind. Scott chases after them and realizes that Wyngarde is actually Mastermind. He's used his power of illusion to turn Jean into the Black Queen and he makes her attack Cyclops. The Hellfire Club's Inner Circle attacks the rest of the X-Men. Harry Leland, a mutant who has the powers of increasing mass, causes Wolverine to crash through the floor where he's swept away in the storm drain. Sebastian Shaw is also a mutant with the power to absorb kinetic energy, and he uses this skill to defeat Storm. Donald Pierce is a cyborg with incredible strength who uses it to subdue Colossus. After the X-Men have all been captured, the Inner Circle congratulate themselves and raise a toast to their Black Queen. In the raging storm drains below the mansion, Wolverine resurfaces and he's ready for a rematch.
