#146: Murderworld

The reserve X-Men attempt to save the team, but can they navigate Murderworld?

Doom, still in a foul mood due to the X-Men attacking him and interfering with a "business deal", places each of the X-Men in a prison cell intended to test their abilities – if they fail, they die. Storm, confined in her own body after having been turned into living chrome, is subconsciously calling forth a great tempest, striving to be free or dead. Havok, Iceman, Polaris and Banshee find their way into Murderworld, and fight for their lives against the out-of-control traps, systems and weapons. Together they eventually free the hostages with Professor X's telepathic aid. Back at von Doom’s, Nightcrawler has taken a risk and teleported out of his featureless cell. In the massive storm caused by Ororo, in the Bahamas, Scott loses his blindfold, causing his optic blasts to be revealed to Lee.
