Title:
X-Man #54
Synopsis:
On the sea wall from the Age of Apocalypse that has appeared in a mountain in Alaska, Cyclops and Nate Grey are on a hover-cycle in search of the water basin where more of the Infinites are about to be created. They talk about the Age of Apocalypse and Nate’s previous life while manoeuvring the sea wall defenses. At the same time, Jean Grey searches the sea wall for the nullification grid that has neutralized their mutant powers, while Hatchet-9, a powerful Infinite, stalks her. She finds the nullification grid and realizes that it is malfunctioning.
Cyclops and Nate arrive at the water basin to see more Infinites being spawned. Nate is concerned that the spawns of Apocalypse will start to pollute this world, too. Nate wants to destroy the Infinites before they are fully formed. Cyclops senses via the special bond they share that Jean is in trouble. They need to go help her, but Nate does not want to leave the Infinites - he wants to destroy them. Cyclops tells Nate that without Jean destroying the nullification grid, they won’t regain their powers to stop the Infinites anyway.
At the nullification grid, Jean does her best to dodge the attacks of Hatchet-9 and also arms herself with make-shift weapons. Cyclops and Nate arrive just in time to help her. As Cyclops gets Jean to safety, Nate engages Hatchet-9 in combat. Cyclops and Jean are trapped between the dangerous nullification grid and Hatchet-9, so Nate cuts the floor out from beneath he and Hatchet-9. In doing so, Hatchet-9 fires his weapons at the nullification grid and blows it up just in time, as Nate regains his telekinesis that prevents him from plummeting to his demise.
Hatchet-9 is seemingly destroyed, but the Infinites complete their “birthing” and swarm around Cyclops, Jean, and Nate, who engage them in battle now that their powers have been restored. They move the battle outside the sea wall, although the Infinites are relentless in their attack. The heroes are able to work together successfully and cause the mountain to cave in, sucking the sea wall and the Infinites inside it.
In the process, Nate blacks out and finds himself in the Age of Apocalypse with Forge and Sonique. He speaks to them before waking. Cyclops and Jean are with him, and they continue on their trek through the mountain together.
