X-Men: The 198 (2006)

The X-Men, backed by the Sentinels, try to convince the 198 to return to the Xavier Institute from the island that Mr. M has led them to. The conflict quickly devolves into fisticuffs and Mr. M steps in to put a stop to the fighting. Johnny Dee cuts a deal with General Lazer to deal with Mr. M. When Lorelei prevents an angry Scalphunter from harming the Beast, he punches her. This sends Mr. M into a rage and he lashes out at all those who insist on resolving this with violence. Johnny Dee acts at this moment and seizes control of Leech to negate Mr. M’s powers. Once powerless, Johnny Dee manipulates Magma who unleashes a magma blast that kills Mercator instantly. The 198 are demoralized by Mr. M’s death and agree to return to the refugee camp at Xavier’s. Many believe that Empath was responsible but the X-Men suspect an outside influence. Johnny Dee confers with General Lazer and the issue of what Johnny wants in return for his “services” remains unresolved. Lorelei and Leech watch over Mr. M’s body, which mysteriously vanishes. In the wake of this disappearance is a flurry of butterflies like those Mr. M created to entertain the 198 days earlier. The message is that Mr. M has not truly died but merely evolved
