14. She has great powers.Copy !req
15. You will use the machine
to make her my slave.Copy !req
16. So your machine
doesn't cure mutants.Copy !req
17. It turns them
into slaves of Apocalypse.Copy !req
18. I'm looking for Gottfried Adler.Copy !req
19. Of course, you are, old darling.Copy !req
20. Don't call me darling.Copy !req
21. I know more of this world

23. A new way of life is beginningCopy !req
24. for mutant-kind,
Mr. Worthington.Copy !req

27. Your cure will give me
what I've always wanted,Copy !req
28. the chance to be
an ordinary human being.Copy !req
29. Not a mutant, not a freak.Copy !req
30. It was your funding that made
the transformation process
possible.Copy !req
31. It's only fitting that you
should be the first
to undergo the treatment.Copy !req
32. I caution you there may be
some discomfort at first.Copy !req
33. Whatever it takes, Doctor.Copy !req
34. Make me a new man.Copy !req
35. You will be surprised
at just how new.Copy !req
36. See, the transformation begins.Copy !req
37. Excellent.Copy !req
38. You serve me well, Mystique.Copy !req
39. Such loyalty will be rewarded.Copy !req

41. Increase the power.Copy !req
42. I want to hear the criesCopy !req
43. of a future being born!Copy !req
44. Where's Adler?Copy !req
45. I've been waiting a month.
I want my cure!Copy !req
46. We all do, sweetie. Sit down.Copy !req
47. Can't a girl have
a cup of coffee in peace?Copy !req
48. They haven't learned
how to live at ease
with their mutant powers,Copy !req
49. so they are frustrated.Copy !req
50. Some lash out,Copy !req
51. while some have turned inward,Copy !req
52. letting their bitterness
consume them.Copy !req
53. But they all feel dissatisfied
with themselves and alone.Copy !req
54. You've given us a place
where we belong, Professor.Copy !req
55. Just takes us hard-headed ones
longer to realize it.Copy !req
56. Forget about it, Rogue.Copy !req
57. We've all had a hard time
accepting who we are.Copy !req
58. I'm cured! I'm cured! See?Copy !req
59. My wings are gone.
Dr. Adler's treatment works!Copy !req
60. I'm not a mutant anymore!Copy !req
61. You don't have to be mutants!Copy !req
62. You don't have to be hated!Copy !req
63. You can be cured!Copy !req
64. We're mutants!
That's what we are!Copy !req
65. There's nothing wrong with us
that needs to be cured!Copy !req
66. Look me in the eye
and tell me that!Copy !req
67. It'll be my pleasure!Copy !req
68. Cyclops! No!Copy !req
69. It's not our place to tell
other mutants what to do.Copy !req
70. If Adler can really change
mutants into ordinary humans,Copy !req
71. then each of us'll have to look
into his own heart and decide.Copy !req
72. You won't be laughed at
or feared anymore!

103. That's not funny!
Or do you want to

that low-life a kiss.Copy !req
111. Maybe Monsieur
Gambit's not as good
as he thinks he is.Copy !req
112. Looks like you nicked
the table, Gambit.Copy !req
113. Gambit!Copy !req
114. The term "rec room" does not

116. Hopes are high as leadersCopy !req
117. from around the world

119. But much tough
negotiation lies ahead.Copy !req
120. Wait, here's
the Conference Chairman now.Copy !req
121. Good day.Copy !req
122. The leaders of the world
recognizeCopy !req
123. the desire of people
everywhere for peace.Copy !req
124. But we must proceed carefully.Copy !req
125. Can we disarm when mutants
walk among us?Copy !req
126. Many questions must be answeredCopy !req
127. if we are to ensure
a secure future for humankind.Copy !req
128. Fools!
You bleat for the futureCopy !req
129. like a herd of sheep!Copy !req

153. This is what
I've feared the most,Copy !req
154. a powerful mutant driven
completely mad by his powers.Copy !req
155. This isn't like MagnetoCopy !req
156. or the conspirators
who produced the Sentinels.Copy !req
157. They could be appealed to,
reasoned with...Copy !req
158. We have to stop Apocalypse now,Copy !req
159. or there will be no future
for anyone.Copy !req
160. Why can't I go with them,
Professor?Copy !req
161. They'll need all the help
they can get.Copy !req
162. I have another mission for you.Copy !req
163. I recognized the mutants
with Apocalypse.Copy !req
164. They were all on Muir Island,
hoping for Dr. Adler's cure.Copy !req
165. But one interests me
more than the others.Copy !req
166. This is the mutant who claimed
that Dr. Adler had cured him.Copy !req
167. I want you to return
to Muir Island.Copy !req
168. Dr. Adler's cure
could hold the key
to defeating this madman.Copy !req
169. On my way, Professor.Copy !req
170. If there's something fishy
going on up there, I'll find it.Copy !req
171. Each generation has cried out
for a new world,Copy !req
172. but has built the same old one,
corrupt and weak!Copy !req
173. But the new world
shall come to pass!Copy !req
174. I will purge the earth

186. Dr. Adler!Copy !req
187. What a pleasure it is
to see you again, my dear.Copy !req
188. You thinking about putting in
a skylight, Doc?Copy !req
189. Experiments sometimes
have unforeseen results.Copy !req
190. It's your results
I'm interested in.Copy !req
191. I discuss my treatment
with no one.Copy !req
192. You'll discuss it with me, Doc!Copy !req
193. What are you doing? No! Don't!Copy !req
194. What did your cure do
to those mutants?Copy !req
195. What would it have done to me?Copy !req
196. No! Please! I'll tell you!Copy !req
197. Well, looks like we got another
mutant ready for the cure.Copy !req
198. There is no cure.Copy !req
199. Apocalypse uses the treatment
to turn mutants into his slaves.Copy !req
200. It makes them hate everyone,
humans and mutants,Copy !req
201. like Apocalypse does.Copy !req
202. He wants to destroy everything.Copy !req
203. I had to help him,
he would have killed me.Copy !req
204. He has a secret command center
buried under Stonehenge,
in England.Copy !req
205. Old Apocalypse won't like
that you helped me.Copy !req
206. You'd better find
some place to hide.Copy !req
207. Who's gonna tell him?Copy !req
208. Hey!Copy !req
209. We needed that machine!Copy !req
210. It might be the only way
