were in its presence it was adapting all their forms.

Adopting a form that is an amalgamation of all the Avengers
forms, the Adaptoid frees itself and resumes its mission to destroy
Captain America. 

It’s attack on the Captain soon overwhelms the star
spangled hero, and the Super-Adaptoid then carries Captain America into
the air in order to drop him to his death. After some resistance, Cap is
unable to stop the android who drops him from a dangerous height into

Thinking Captain America is dead, the Super-Adaptoid returns to

Synopsis

Continued from last issue…

Back at the mansion Professor Xavier informs his students that Magneto is attempting to recruit Namor, and that he knows where Magneto’s new base is located. The X-Men board a ship and head out to stop Magneto. Namor is convinced into meeting with Magneto on his secret island. 

He is quickly impressed by how the island is run using Magneto’s powers and a giant magnet at the center of the island.

The X-Men arrive and a battle begins amongst the two groups. 

Magneto destroys the X-Men’s ship, but they are able to use ice-craft to make it to shore. Cyclops realizes that the giant magnet in the center of the island is what powers everything so he tries to destroy it, but Quicksilver attacks before he can do anything.

The X-Men subdue Quicksilver which causes the Scarlet Witch to fear for her brother’s safety. 

Magneto becomes angered with the Scarlet Witch and begins to yell at her. At this point, both Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch again question Magneto’s actions, as in X-Men #5 (in Italy in CAPC # 7-8), but continue to follow him. Xavier mentions this may be because they are being controlled subconsciously.

The Sub-Mariner realizes what type of man he has allied himself with, so he turns against Magneto and destroys the magnet’s controls. The X-Men break into the lab, so Magneto, Toad and Mastermind run away. 

The Scarlet Witch demands that Quicksilver be returned to her, but the X-Men do not comply. A short battle breaks out that is stopped by Professor Xavier when he brings Quicksilver, under his mental control, to the Scarlet Witch.

Namor decides that he has had enough of fighting for the day, so he starts to head back to his kingdom when he is attacked by Magneto and his giant magnet. The Sub-Mariner overcomes the beating he is taking and is able to destroy the magnet. 

The X-Men watch as the Sub-Mariner withdraws back to his kingdom, then observe Magneto and the rest of the Brotherhood retreat in his own jet plane.

Synopsis

Professor Xavier takes a photograph of his students during their
graduation. 

Afterwards he informs them that they must continue their
fight against evil mutants without him while he takes care of some
unfinished business. He tells his students that he will be selecting a
new leader amongst them soon.

Across town at another mansion, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
regroups. Mastermind and the Scarlet Witch are the first to arrive.
Mastermind offers the Scarlet Witch a life of luxury, but she refuses
since she cannot stand him. 

Magneto and the rest of the group arrive.

Back at the school Professor Xavier asks Cyclops to accompany him
to a previously off-limit section of the school. There he shows
Cyclops his invention, Cerebro, which is used to detect mutant brainwave
activity. 

Cyclops wonders why a telepath such as Professor Xavier
would need such a device, so Professor Xavier informs him that it is
intended to be used by the new leader of the X-Men, Cyclops. Cyclops
questions his mentor’s decision considering Angel’s aggressiveness and
Beast’s intelligence, so Professor Xavier informs him that it is because
of Cyclops’ leadership abilities. The next morning the X-Men awaken to
learn that Professor Xavier already departed. They congratulate Scott
on becoming their new leader. The group decides to go to New York City
that night to celebrate, but Scott refuses saying that he has to stay
and monitor Cerebro.

At a carnival Magneto seeks out the Blob suspecting that he is a
mutant due to his inability to be moved by an elephant or a cannonball.
Magneto tries to perform a mind probe of the Blob, but is stopped by a
mental block put on him by Professor Xavier. Suddenly the Blob’s manager appears and tries to fend off Magneto, not
wanting him to talk to his client. Magneto orders the Brotherhood to
attack the carnival workers. They all run off leaving Magneto alone
with the Blob. 

Continued to next issue…
