X-Man

Madelyne Pryor chats with Threnody in a cemetery about Nate’s whereabouts, during which, Threnody deduces that Maddie is actually dead. Angry, Madelyne removes a psi-baffler from Threnody’s face, which seems to knock her unconscious when it explodes. Nate Grey senses that Madelyne is close, too. He heads out to look for her in the cemetery, but, being unable to find her there, he then heads to Switzerland where they first met.

Jean Grey, meanwhile, is visited by Sanctity, who provides her with a cryptic message about Madelyne’s return. She decides to follow up on this information and gets in the blackbird.

Nate finds Madelyne in Switzerland, dreaming, and takes her to the cabin. As Madelyne wakes up, Jean arrives in the blackbird, and Madelyne immediately goes on the offensive. She is still mad at Jean, blaming her for her death. Nate pitches in and helps save the plane. In a heated discussion between the three of them, Madelyne realizes that Nate is going to side with Jean. She returns all Nate’s energy to him and departs angrily.

In the aftermath, Nate realizes that his telekinesis is gone, though his telepathy still remains. He wonders if this is a result of Madelyne’s power or a prelude to something far worse.

Madelyne heads to Hong Kong, where she joins Sebastian Shaw in his bed.
