Synopsis:
Phoenix and Cyclops visit a Manhattan disco to look for a new mutant while Nightcrawler waits in the car. He receives a call from Kitty Pryde, who has escaped the clutches of the White Queen and informs him that the other half of the team is captured in Chicago. The next moment, Nightcrawler is attacked by a Mandroid. Inside the disco, Jean “accidentally” meets Jason Wyngarde again, which causes another timeflash for her. In that vision, she sees herself marrying Wyngarde and being turned into the Black Queen. After she slips out of the vision, she and Cyclops are also attacked by a group of Mandroids, who know their powers intimately. The two X-Men find themselves saved by the mutant they were looking for – Dazzler, a singer with light-based powers. After having helped Nightcrawler, the X-Men and Dazzler decide to head for Chicago.
Notes:
- This story is reprinted in Classic X-Men #36.
- The Hellfire Club had the X-Mansion bugged in X-Men (1st series) #110.
- Dazzler was actually not created by Claremont and Byrne, but by committee (including, among others, Roger Stern) for her own title. Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter demanded Dazzler have a guest spot in X-Men first to promote the character.
- Nightcrawler has been using an image inducer (created by Tony Stark) for private outings ever since issue X-Men (1st Series) #97.
- The mystery of Wyngarde’s identity is solved in issue X-Men (1st Series) #132.
