Title:
X-Men (1991)
Synopsis:
Painted Ladies
In Hong Kong, the five remaining X-Men attack the local Hellfire Club branch in search of another lead to find the Crimson Pirates and the Goth. Phoenix mentally finds their next lead, who is a waitress spying on the Hellfire Club. Wolverine stalks the women to her meeting point with the Goth. The others return to their villa and discuss how their reputation is being hurt by their hit and run tactics on major crime families. They decide that they must do everything in their power to stop this new slave trade, no matter how bad they look. Elsewhere, the captured X-Men make an escape attempt, thanks to Gambit and Storm, but find themselves neck-deep in a giant slave-processing center, where hundreds of kidnapped people are being packaged for transport. They encounter the leader of the Goth, who is appropriately also called the Goth. To evade being recaptured, Gambit proposes a deal to the Goth. Rogue absorbs Phoenix’s telepathy and attacks Killian and the Crimson Pirates at their Hong Kong headquarters. There, she meets Kymri, a friend of Nightcrawler’s who has been converted into a personal Hound for Killian. Rogue escapes, and the X-Men head out to face the Pirates and the Goth in final confrontation. In Hollywood, after learning more about Senator Kelly’s plan to use mutants as his presidential campaign topic, Mystique vows to stop Kelly, no matter what. With volume 7 of 13 of Destiny’s diaries, she may very well be able to do so.
