Title:
X-Men (1991)
Synopsis:
"Storm Front Part 2"
With the world’s telepaths crippled, the Shadow King ascends to dominance and, one by one, begins to corrupt mankind. He explains to Psylocke how he survived his last encounter with the X-Men and how he achieved what he did today before leaving her to crumble to dust. As the Shadow King tries to corrupt Cecilia, Marrow and Maggott, the Crimson Dawn saves Psylocke once again and resurrects her, this time with an all black psi-form and the ability to command the shadows of the Psionic Plane, which allow her to go undetected by the Shadow King. Psylocke feels extreme guilt over what she has done, but frees Ainet in the meantime, and the two find Storm and free her as well. Psylocke devises a plan and confronts the Shadow King, as he fully corrupts the three other X-Men. While Psylocke distracts the Shadow King, Storm and Ainet, who are protected by Psylocke’s shadows, free the three X-Men. Marrow wants to battle the Shadow King but finds herself called elsewhere, where she finds Cannonball about to be killed by his father and saves the man. Psylocke is unable to hide the free Marrow, and she is sensed by the Shadow King, who fails to tempt Psylocke to his side. Psylocke sends the other X-Men back to the corporeal world and takes the fight directly with the Shadow King, who stretches his powers to the maximum to infect every mind on Earth. Psylocke is intoxicated by the power, but keeps her focus and discovers that the Shadow King has left his nexus, the soul of every person on the Psionic Plane, exposed as his body unravels to reach every mind. Psylocke uses her shadows to contain the nexus and the Shadow King is trapped, but only as long as Psylocke focuses her telepathy on him, which means she can never use her powers again or else he will be free. Psylocke leaves the Psionic Plane for the last time and reveals what happened to Storm, who tells Betsy that she represents the best of the X-Men and that she will always be an X-Man, even without her powers.
