Story Title: When Titans Clash!
Artist: Werner Roth
Synopsis: While the other X-Men are ice-skating on a frozen pond, Scott wanders off into the woods where he tries once more to control his optic blast without wearing glasses; but it’s no use. Giving in to despair, he fires some random beams at full force, accidentally causing a rockslide. Within a hidden base inside the mountains, the noise alerts the Super-Adaptoid to the outside world again and he remembers his task of creating an army of beings like him to take over the world. By the time he makes it outside, all, save Iceman, have returned to the school for some scheduled training sessions. The Adaptoid observes the mutant’s performance, and secretly follows him to Xavier’s to find more super-power subjects for his makeshift army. Meanwhile, at the school, the Mimic again annoys everyone with his attitude and a battle erupts between him and the other students. Xavier finally has enough of it and orders him to leave the school before shutting himself off in his lab to continue his study of the threat of Factor Three. Later, the unsuspecting X-Men are attacked and stunned by the Adaptoid, right as the Mimic returns to the school to get revenge on them. Learning of the Adaptoid’s many powers and his ability to turn others into his equal, the Mimic volunteers for becoming a second Adaptoid. Though helpless, Cyclops reasons with his former teammate not to throw away his humanity and become a robotic servant, and Calvin realizes he is right. Before the transformation is complete, he opposes the Adaptoid. With him possessing all of the X-Men’s powers and the Adaptoid all those of the Avengers, it’s almost a draw, though ultimately Mimic tires while the Adaptoid does not. However, when the Adaptoid suddenly decides to duplicate the Mimic’s powers, an energy feedback occurs, caused by both of them having similar artificially enhanced powers. Actually, it was the Mimic who telepathically planted the suggestion in the Adaptoid’s mind, predicting this effect. Both lose all of their copied and absorbed powers and plummet to Earth. Calvin is safely caught by the Angel and the X-Men make up with him. Though his powers are now gone, Calvin Rankin has become a better person.
