Title:
X-Men (1991)
Synopsis:
"Yesterday’s News"
The X-Men find themselves transported in a place that is not their Earth, yet curiously imitates New York City. Dispatched by the rest of the team to have a look around, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat soon discover that this counterfeit version of New York is flooded with doppelgangers of superheroes. Kitty manages to knock out her own doppelganger and replaces her among the impostors, while Kurt teleports Kitty’s copycat back to Xavier for interrogation. Kitty witnesses the impostors watching dated news reports about Earth’s superheroes in their monitors, before stumbling on the doppelgangers of Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock and Thunderbird, who capture her. Kitty realizes all these impostors are Skrulls, and these three in particular have severed ties with the others. Meanwhile, after examining Kitty’s doppelganger, Xavier also realizes they are Skrulls, planning an infiltration of Earth. Even worse, though, the X-Men were apparently displaced in time, as well as in space: they have been transported to Skrulls’ homeworld just as it is about to be consumed by Galactus! Meanwhile, Gambit decides to wander around on his own, hoping to get medical treatment for the injured Marrow.
