Title:
X-Factor
Synopsis:
Forge encounters his teammates as representatives of his soldiers from the Vietnam War during a trip through the Dream Time, during which it is confirmed that the Adversary was present during that war.
Back to reality, Forge and Naze discuss the current goings-ons and Forge’s predicament. Roma then appears, telling the men that she is going to keep the Adversary at bay while Naze prepares Forge.
Forge and Naze travel to the Rocky Mountains. There, Naze presents Forge with the knife that the possessed Storm once tried to kill him with, and the nullifier gun which he created to remove mutant powers. He has to choose which weapon he will use against the Adversary. Forge and Naze begin a chant, summoning Forge’s magic prowess back.
While that occurs, Roma takes on the Adversary but is eventually overwhelmed by him. This allows the Adversary to arrive at the Rocky Mountains, placing Forge’s teammates on the battlefield. Forge recalls how he used the Spirit Spell to pull the essence of his dead soldiers souls from their bodies during the War to confront his enemy, but that rendered them unable to rest in peace, so Forge swears that he will not do that with X-Factor. Instead, as the Adversary is about to strike him, Forge transforms the nullifier and the knife into a new weapon. He shoots the Adversary with this new weapon, ending the Adversary’s dark power.
The Adversary vanishes, though Forge and Naze know that one day he will return. X-Factor’s members regain consciousness once the Adversary has departed.
Meanwhile, Valerie Cooper questions her superior about Sabretooth being placed on X-Factor. Val’s superior isn’t interested in what she has to say and “re-introduces” Valerie and Sabretooth by ordering Sabretooth to kill Valerie. Of course, the collar that Sabretooth is wearing prevents him from doing so, but that doesn’t make Valerie any happier about having him on X-Factor.
