Alex Summers never wanted to be different. But when his mutant powers erupt, destroying part of his home, his terrified parents kick him out. Alone on the streets, unable to control the destructive energy inside him, Alex is approached by a mysterious figure—Mr. Sinister. Promising safety and purpose, Sinister takes Alex in, slowly gaining his trust while secretly planning to siphon his power using an enhanced particle accelerator. But Sinister’s actions don’t go unnoticed. Charles Xavier sends the X-Men—Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Jean Grey, and their newest member, Warren Worthington III, aka Angel—to track Alex down. Cyclops is shaken when he realizes the mutant Sinister is manipulating is his own younger brother. The X-Men storm Sinister’s hidden facility as Alex, confused and enraged, prepares to enter the accelerator, thinking it will help him control his power. Xavier pleads with him telepathically, while Cyclops fights his way to his brother. Just as Sinister activates the machine, Alex hesitates—then turns his powers on Sinister, destroying the accelerator. The battle is fierce, but the X-Men prevail. Sinister escapes, wounded and furious. Alex, finally in control, breaks down in his brother’s arms. He’s not a monster—he’s an X-Man.
