Why it's Hot:
Synopsis:
After an intense Danger Room session, the X-Men disperse into the city, only to be ambushed by Count Nefaria and his newly assembled team of villains—Scarecrow, Porcupine, Plantman, Eel, and Unicorn. Each member of the X-Men is captured using strategic and unusual methods, from hypnotic gases to electric shocks. Imprisoned in the Maggia’s lair, the young mutants are offered an ultimatum: join Nefaria’s cause and rise against a world that fears them. This issue marks the debut of this particular villain ensemble in the X-Men series, delivering classic Silver Age action and psychological manipulation.
