#112: Magneto Triumphant!

Synopsis

After just freeing themselves from the control of Mesmero, the X-Men storm the villain's carnival trailer!

Plot Summary

The X-Men confront Magneto in Mesmero's carnival trailer. Scott senses a trap and orders Nightcrawler to scout outside, but he's startled to discover that the trailer is now floating miles high in the air. Magneto explains how he followed Beast to discover the X-Men, and that he stopped Mesmero because he wants to be the one to exact revenge on the X-Men. Magneto floats Mesmero down to the Amazon while the flying trailer continues on to his secret underground lair in Antarctica.

Once there he engages them in battle and makes quick work of the unorganized team who fight him one-on-one rather than as a unit (much to the chagrin of Cyclops). After capturing every X-Men, he restrains them all in mechanical chairs which scramble their neural impulses and make using their powers or even speaking impossible. Magneto introduce them to the Nanny, a robot he created to take care of them. As the X-Men realize the trouble they are in, Magneto vows that they will suffer the same humiliation he did when he was trapped fully conscious in the body of a six-month old child.
