" Y SU NOMBRE ES HELFIRE "
(APARECIDA ORIGINALMENTE EN X-MEN #132 ABRIL/1980)
Continued from last issue...
Following their near defeat at the hands of the Hellfire Club's
White Queen, Cyclops has the X-Men seek refuge at Angel's aerie, feeling
that the mansion is no longer safe for them at this time. Needing
privacy, Cyclops is carried by Angel to a butte out in the middle of the
New Mexico desert where they can talk privately, much to the chagrin of
Professor X. There Cyclops explains the X-Men's most recent clash with
the Hellfire Club. Warren finds this hard to believe as he and his
girlfriend Candy are members of the Hellfire Club. Scott goes on to
explain that he's worried about Jean's powers. Before he can explain any
further, Jean arrives and interrupts them to have a private and
impromptu picnic with Scott. When Warren leaves them alone, Jean takes
off Scott's visor, and much to his surprise she is able to hold back his
optic blast with her mental powers. The two embrace and make love on
the butte as the sun sets.
A week later on a stormy night, the X-Men return to New York City
to infiltrate the Hellfire Club and learn why they are targeting the
X-Men. Wolverine and Nightcrawler travel through the sewers to sneak
into the club from below. As they are passing through the rapidly
flooding tunnels, Wolverine slices open some electrical wires pointing
out that they could use a distraction later if things get hairy, a move
that Nightcrawler finds very sneaker. Meanwhile, with invitations
organized by Warren, Scott, Jean, Peter and Ororo prepare to enter a
prestigious party with in the club. Before they go in, they radio back
to the Professor and Angel in New Mexico to advise them of their plan so
that they can carry on if they fail. As Scott and the others enter the
party and try to blend in, they are noticed on the security monitors by
the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle: the cyborg Donald Pierce, and mutants
Sebastian Shaw and Henry Leland. Shaw tells Jason Wyngarde that this is
his chance to prove that he has full control over Jean Grey and send him
out into the party.
Sure enough, when Wyngarde goes downstairs he quickly sweeps Jean
off into another one of his illusions. When Scott watches Wyngarde
taking Jean upstairs he follows after him and is shocked when he reveals
himself to be none other than the X-Men's old foe Mastermind. Following
after them, he is blasted by Jean who, under Mastermind's full control,
has transformed herself into the Black Queen. Hearing Scott's scream of
pain over the crowd, Storm and Colossus change into costume and charge
after their friend. Running upstairs they run into Sebastian Shaw, and
Colossus learns the hard way that Shaw can absorb any attack directed at
him and transform it into strength and invulnerability. Shaw easily
defeats Colossus in battle, but Storm manages to escape by creating a
thick fog to obscure his vision.
Down in the basement, Wolverine and Nightcrawler emerge from the
sewers to be attacked by Pierce and Leland. While Wolverine manages to
damage Pierce's cybernetic arm, Leland uses his mass increasing powers
to increase Wolverine's weight until he breaks through the floor and
lands into the rushing waters of the sewers below, he is swept away and
presumed dead. While upstairs, Storm is tracked down by Sebastian Shaw
who easily defeats her in hand to hand combat.
With the X-Men defeated and their prisoners, Sebastian Shaw notes
Jason Wyngarde's cockiness and begins to suspect that he is going to
vie to replace him as leader of the Hellfire Club. When the two quibble
over how effective Mastermind would be without Jean as his slave. The
argument is quashed by the others who propose a toast to the newest
member of their club, the Black Queen. While down below in the sewers,
Wolverine emerges from the waters alive and well. He is incredibly
angry, having seen the Hellfire Club's "best shot" he is ready to show
them his own.

" WOLVERINE SOLO "
(APARECIDO ORIGINALMENTE EN X.MEN #133 Mayo/1980)
Continued from last issue...
The Hellfire Club's Inner Circle has sent some of their soldiers
down into the basement of their prestigious club to find the body of
Wolverine, whom they assume was killed in a fight with Henry Leland.
Wolverine however is alive and well, and is hiding in the rafters. When
they his wet body drips water on the soldiers below, they try to shoot
him. They fail and Wolverine mortally wounds three of them before he
seemingly takes some rifle rounds to the stomach and falls over in some
boxes. However, he has been playing possum, having rolled with the shots
he tags one more of the soldiers. With only one left on his feet,
Wolverine freaks him out enough to get close enough to grab him.
Threatening the man with his claws, Wolverine demands to know everything
he knows about his employers in the Hellfire Club.
While upstairs, the other X-Men are a prisoner of the Hellfire
Club, who are celebrating not only their victory over the X-Men, but the
addition of Jean Grey as their new Black Queen. Cyclops, with a ruby
quartz helmet on his head puzzles over the fact that somehow Mastermind
was able to take control of Jean by making her believe that she is her
ancestor, a decadent woman who was a member of the Hellfire Club, and
that they are not her friends but captured thieves and slaves that have
betrayed her. Realizing that he and Jean still have their psychic
rapport, Scott tries to see if he still has access to it in a bid to try
and free Jean from Wyngarde's control. Nightcrawler meanwhile asks Shaw
what he wants from them, and Shaw explains that the capture of the
X-Men will facilitate his goals of experimenting on mutants so that his
club can custom make their own mutants.
Meanwhile, on Muir Island, Sean Cassidy finishes his job around
the island and goes to check on his lover Moira MacTaggert. She is
exhausted after extensive research into Jean's new powers and she fears
that her near infinite power levels could threaten the entire world.
While in New Mexico, Angel and Professor X wait for word from the X-Men
and Charles expresses the difficulty that he has with Cyclops leading
the X-Men without his direction.
Back at the Hellfire Club, Wolverine takes a dumbwaiter up to the
main floor where a party is still going on. He is considering his
options on how to slip by undetected when a guard manages to get the
drop on him, putting a gun to his temple. While upstairs, Scott access
the psychic rapport with Jean to get into her mind. To his dismay, he
finds himself transformed into a Colonial era outfit and that Jason
Wyngarde is in Jean's mind as well, despite the fact that Scott knows
that Mastermind has no telepathic abilities. The two get into a sword
fight, with Mastermind warning Scott that whoever dies here will likely
die in the real world as well. Downstairs, Wolverine manages to get the
better of the guard who has caught him and tosses him into the middle of
the party. With this distraction, Wolverine storms through until he is
confronted by the Club's security guards who pile onto him with their
clubs swinging.
While upstairs, Scott's telepathic sword fight with Mastermind
ends when Mastermind stabbing Scott through the chest with his sword. In
the real world the X-Men watch in horror as Cyclops suddenly screams
and keels over and as far as the X-Men can tell, their leader is dead.
