Title:
X-Men
Synopsis:
"Deathbound Train"
While using Cerebro, Professor X discovers a spike of mysterious energy in northern New Jersey. Bishop, Gambit, and Beast decide to head out to investigate the disturbance. Their coordinates lead them to a commuter train bound for New York City, which is swarming with mysterious mutates who pass on their “plague” by skin-to-skin contact. Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Scott Summers are at Jean’s parents’ home when Graydon Creed, a long-time thorn in the side of homo-superior, appears on the family television. He announces his candidacy for President of the United States, prompting Professor X to call a contact in the government wondering if he will have his support in case the X-Men need to take drastic measures. Back on the train, Gambit and Bishop head to the engine while Beast stays behind, devising a knock-out anaesthetic gas from anything he can scrap together to contain the mutates. Mr. Sinister appears, claims responsibility for the plague and grabs Beast by the throat, and proceeds to head to the front of the train. Gambit devises a way to stop the runaway train but doesn’t even know himself if it will work. He proceeds to charge the entire train with kinetic energy, turning it into a one hundred ton bomb!
