Title:
X-Man
Synopsis:
Having lost Madelyne to Selene, Nate gains employment working on a sea cruiser to help take his mind off her. A guest flirts with him, but he has his orders not to mingle too closely. His predilection for food takes over as he enters the dining area and downs a bottle of champagne, releasing a wave of energy during the head rush.
This is sensed aboard a derelict frigate, where Blaquesmith is monitoring energy outputs. The readings are off the scale, and they seem to match Cable’s.
Nate follows up his drink by demolishing a chicken dish, asking for more when he’s devoured the entire plate. A crewman thinks he’s had enough but, already drunk, Nate warns him that he’ll say when he’s had enough. He realizes he’s acted stupidly and goes to sleep.
Meanwhile, Rex appears and boards the boat. He confronts a crewman and slaughters him in cold blood.
Nate wakes and sees a reflection in the mirror of himself, looking pale and gaunt. He smashes the mirror but feels something that is clearly wrong here. He makes his way to the deck and finds it ripped apart, with the crewman lying dead. Before he can psi-scan the boat, Rex attacks him, but Nate responds with a huge telekinetic blast.
Blaquesmith’s equipment sparks, as a result, and he knows a power this great cannot go unchecked. He pilots his own craft out of the frigate and heads off into the night sky.
Nate and Rex fight, but Nate’s fluctuating powers fail him at the most inopportune moment. Rex is about to shoot him but then falls lifelessly to the floor. Behind him stands Dark Beast, and he has some answers for Nate.
