X-Men (1991)

"The Corps Mature."

Omega Red battles the Soul Skinner in the frozen town of Neftelensk. Though the deadly Omega Red puts up a good fight, the Soul Skinner overpowers him. Colonel Vazhin has convinced the X-Men to go to Neftelensk and reveals that Flagwatch has been keeping an eye on the Soul Skinner for twenty four years. Iceman becomes slightly agitated when he learns Darkstar and Father Garnoff are both missing in Neftelensk. The X-Men soon arrive, and find the townspeople standing motionless. Iceman soon finds Darkstar and Father Garnoff in the same state, before Omega Red attacks the X-Men. In Moscow, Fydor Shelkov discusses the Neftelensk situation and the plan they have to stop the Soul Skinner with other officials. The X-Men continue to battle Omega Red, before the Soul Skinner takes on Cyclops, strangely enjoying Cyclops’ tortured mind. Colossus and Colonel Vazhin meanwhile have investigated further into the town, where they find a shack full of the town’s children, who have not fallen under the Soul Skinner’s power. At the Ust-Ordynski Collective, the home of Colossus’ parents is under attack - and both Nicholai and Alexandra Rasputin are murdered, while Illyana Rasputin is kidnapped by members of the Special Investigations Unit. Back in Neftelensk, Colossus is outraged when Vazhin reveals to him that Flagwatch has been keeping an eye on Illyana should she develop warp powers like her older brother Mikhail, and that they plan to accelerate Illyana‘s age to a point where she can access those powers to use them against the Soul Skinner - but that the acceleration process may kill her. Meanwhile, the mysterious Kwannon kills another set of assassins ready to prove to Lord Nyoirin that she can take on the X-Men, reminding him that Psylocke must die.
