1. Previously on X-Men.
Copy !req
2. You try to escape,
Copy !req
3. the collars will be
reactivated at once.
Copy !req
4. If you try to remove
your collar, it will explode
Copy !req
5. and destroy you.
Copy !req
6. Now, get to work!
Copy !req
7. Now! Gambit! Jubilee!
Copy !req
8. My powers!
Copy !req
9. The collars you use
Copy !req
10. to control your mutants.
Copy !req
11. They were invented
by a scientist in Scotland.
Copy !req
12. It's him.
Copy !req
13. Who are you?
Copy !req
14. The Wild Man of Borneo.
Copy !req
15. His name is Cable.
Copy !req
16. He was a mercenary
in the Leader's army,
Copy !req
17. until he found out the Leader
wasn't the champion of democracy
Copy !req
18. he claimed to be.
Copy !req
19. So he threw his wages back
in the Leader's face
Copy !req
20. and took to the hills
to start a revolution.
Copy !req
21. See you around.
Copy !req
22. How much is
it worth to you
Copy !req
23. to have that man
Cable eliminated?
Copy !req
24. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
25. Cable lives by his
code, but he will not live long.
Copy !req
26. I should be
frightened, Warren.
Copy !req
27. What do you mean?
Copy !req
28. They say you keep
a mad scientist up here.
Copy !req
29. Dr. Frankenstein, perhaps?
Copy !req
30. His name's Gottfried Adler.
He's an expert on genetics.
Copy !req
31. But he's not here.
Copy !req
32. I sent him to Scotland
to do research.
Copy !req
33. We're alone, then.
Copy !req
34. I'd better take you home.
Copy !req
35. Why must you
always push me away?
Copy !req
36. You wouldn't want
to get close to me.
Copy !req
37. Not if you knew
what I was really like.
Copy !req
38. Aah!
Copy !req
39. Are you Adler?
Copy !req
40. I'm Warren Worthington III.
Who are you?
Copy !req
41. Next time you take a shot at
somebody, make sure you hit him.
Copy !req
42. I'll remember that.
Copy !req
43. You got a short memory.
Copy !req
44. Warren?
Copy !req
45. Pal, you picked the wrong chalet
to terrorize.
Copy !req
46. What's going on? Warren?
Are you all right?
Copy !req
47. What? Where's Warren?
Copy !req
48. He's all right.
Copy !req
49. My weapon's set to stun.
Where's Adler?
Copy !req
50. He's... he's gone to Scotland.
Copy !req
51. Scotland?
You mean Muir Island.
Copy !req
52. Get down!
Copy !req
53. Warren!
Copy !req
54. Warren's gone.
Copy !req
55. Don't!
Copy !req
56. No. I didn't mean to.
Copy !req
57. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
58. You created
the Center for Mutant Research,
my dear Moira.
Copy !req
59. Can't you demand
to review Dr. Adler's work?
Copy !req
60. Aye, I would if I could.
Copy !req
61. But he's not really
part of the Center.
Copy !req
62. He pays me well for everything.
Copy !req
63. His one request
was to be left alone.
Copy !req
64. Then you don't know if he
really can reverse mutations.
Copy !req
65. I only know what he tells me.

Copy !req
66. Dr. Adler?
It's Moira McTaggart.
Copy !req
67. I've an old friend here
who's interested in your work.
Copy !req
68. Professor Xavier from America.
Copy !req
69. Visitors are verboten,
not allowed.
Copy !req
70. You promised no interference.
Copy !req
71. Xavier?
Copy !req
72. I tried to probe his mind,
but some force
came between us.
Copy !req
73. Do you think Adler
could be a mutant himself?
Copy !req
74. Well, now, that would explain
why he's after a cure.
Copy !req
75. Don't say cure, Moira.
Copy !req
76. Being a mutant isn't a disease.
Copy !req
77. It's something you're born with.
Copy !req
78. It's as normal as being
a traditional Homo sapien.
Copy !req
79. Not all mutants
would agree with you.
Copy !req
80. What do your X-Men say?
Copy !req
81. I don't know. I haven't told
them about Adler's discovery.
Copy !req
82. But it's time I did.
Copy !req
83. That old boy Juggernaut
sure made a mess
Copy !req
84. about like that Yankee general,
Sherman.
Copy !req
85. Keep an eye on me, Gambit.
You might learn something.
Copy !req
86. Let me put some nails
in that for you, Jean.
Copy !req
87. I always did like
working with my hands.
Copy !req
88. I like to work with my mind.
Copy !req
89. That mortar looks
a little thick, Storm.
Copy !req
90. Better add some water.
Copy !req
91. Big expert.
Always giving orders.
Copy !req
92. Making up for your
screw-ups, gumbo.
Copy !req
93. Too bad you don't know
how to do anything
Copy !req
94. but pick pockets
and steal candy from babies.
Copy !req
95. Look out!
Copy !req
96. Gambit! What do you
think you're doing?
Copy !req
97. He better be more careful
with his mouth.
Copy !req
98. You better stop
worrying about my mouth
Copy !req
99. and start worrying about these!
Copy !req
100. Why don't you boys calm down?
Copy !req
101. You afraid I'm gonna hurt him?
Copy !req
102. I always thought you had
a soft spot for that Cajun.
Copy !req
103. About as soft as you, fat-head.
Copy !req
104. You gonna shut up, or am I gonna
have to help you?
Copy !req
105. Hey, everybody!
Guess who wants to talk to us?
Copy !req
106. Dr. Adler claims his process
can reverse genetic mutations
Copy !req
107. within each cell of the body.
Copy !req
108. What?
Copy !req
109. You mean steal our powers?
Copy !req
110. It could be used
as a weapon against us,
Copy !req
111. but some mutants might welcome
the chance to become normal.
Copy !req
112. Yeah? Who?
Copy !req
113. There's no right or wrong
Copy !req
114. in choosing to remain a mutant.
Copy !req
115. You have taught us to value
our powers, Professor,
Copy !req
116. not for their own sake,
Copy !req
117. but for what they can do
for others.
Copy !req
118. You tell 'em, Storm.
No deserters in this crowd.
Copy !req
119. Each of us will have
to make his own decision
Copy !req
120. if Adler's process
really works.
Copy !req
121. I'm worried about Rogue,
Cyclops.
Copy !req
122. Rogue? Why?
Copy !req
123. Because I know how she feels
when I touch your hand
Copy !req
124. or when we kiss.
Copy !req
125. Because I sense her pain.
Copy !req
126. Vacation, huh?
Copy !req
127. Muir Island's no good for you.
Copy !req
128. How about we go to Paris
instead?
Copy !req
129. How about getting
your butt out of my car?
Copy !req
130. Let's have a kiss
before you go, huh?
Copy !req
131. What's wrong, chere?
Copy !req
132. You know what happens
when I touch somebody!
Copy !req
133. You wanna end up
in the hospital?
Copy !req
134. Maybe it's worth it, no?
Copy !req
135. Where you going,
Rogue? Where you going?
Copy !req
136. What the—
Copy !req
137. Muir Island.
What a dump.
Copy !req
138. There ain't nothing to steal
on this worthless rock.

Copy !req
139. This friend of yours
better show up soon,
Copy !req
140. or I'm going back to jail,
Copy !req
141. just for something to do.
Copy !req
142. Are we becoming
impatient, old stick?
Copy !req
143. The name's Avalanche, limey, and
what we're becoming is broke.
Copy !req
144. This scam of hers
better pay off big.
Copy !req
145. That could be Mystique now.
Copy !req
146. What do you mean "could be"?
Copy !req
147. Don't you know
what she looks like?
Copy !req
148. She's a shape-changer, old man.
One can never be sure.
Copy !req
149. Looking for me, love?
Copy !req
150. I sincerely doubt it, unless
your name's Gottfried Adler.
Copy !req
151. Alas, no.
Copy !req
152. They call me Pyro.
Copy !req
153. In the mood for a hot date?
Copy !req
154. In a bull's-eye.
Copy !req
155. How about trying that with me?
Copy !req
156. Well, all right, hon,
since you asked me nice.
Copy !req
157. Pyro!
Copy !req
158. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
159. Hello? Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
160. Visitors are verboten.
Copy !req
161. I didn't fly across
the whole danged ocean
Copy !req
162. to take no for an answer.
Copy !req
163. What do you want?
Copy !req
164. I hear you can
change people, Doctor.
Copy !req
165. Change them, so they won't
be mutants anymore.
Copy !req
166. You make me like other people,
Copy !req
167. and you can name your own price.
Copy !req
168. You have great strength
as well as great beauty.
Copy !req
169. Why do you wish
to become merely normal?
Copy !req
170. Because I don't wanna
live my whole life
Copy !req
171. without knowing what it's like
to touch another human being.
Copy !req
172. I will consider your request.
Copy !req
173. Come back in one hour.
Copy !req
174. I will have an answer
for you then.
Copy !req
175. Apocalypse!
Copy !req
176. You heard what she wanted?
Copy !req
177. Yes.
Copy !req
178. Like all people, she is a fool,
Copy !req
179. but she has great powers.
Copy !req
180. You will use the machine
and make her my slave.
Copy !req
181. You have taught us
to value our powers.
Copy !req
182. Value our powers.
Copy !req
183. The moon sure is pretty tonight.
Copy !req
184. You ever been kissed, girl?
Copy !req
185. I'm beginning to think
I never will be,
Copy !req
186. the way you keep going on
about the moon.
Copy !req
187. Cody!
Copy !req
188. Cody. Cody...
Copy !req
189. Avalanche!
Copy !req
190. Avalanche!
Copy !req
191. Hello. You aren't Avalanche.
Copy !req
192. I'm looking for Gottfried Adler.
Copy !req
193. Well, of course you are,
old darling.
Copy !req
194. He's such a popular fellow.
Copy !req
195. Don't call me "darling."
Copy !req
196. What did you do, fall in?
Copy !req
197. Never mind.
Copy !req
198. I've found our pot of gold.
Copy !req
199. There seems to be
a local scientist
Copy !req
200. who's in big demand these days.
Copy !req
201. As soon as I've dried off,
Copy !req
202. we shall arrange
a disappearance.
Copy !req
203. And my dear friend
Mystique need never know.
Copy !req
204. Your whole life will change
after the treatment.
Copy !req
205. Believe me.
Copy !req
206. That's what I'm here for, Doc.
Copy !req
207. It may be unpleasant at first,
Copy !req
208. but then you will feel nothing.
Copy !req
209. Well done, old bean.
Copy !req
210. Y'all looking for a rematch?
Copy !req
211. Perhaps another time.
Copy !req
212. - Bag the good doctor.
- Right.
Copy !req
213. You are making
a terrible mistake.
Copy !req
214. Adler.
Copy !req
215. Those boys are making me mad.
Copy !req
216. Dr. Adler!
Copy !req
217. I heard a loud crash, Moira.
What's going on?
Copy !req
218. I do not know.
Copy !req
219. How about you carrying him
for a while?
Copy !req
220. Shall we make him walk?
Copy !req
221. Listen, old man... Blimey!
Copy !req
222. He's a woman.
Copy !req
223. He's Mystique.
Copy !req
224. And you're a fool, Pyro.
I asked you to come here
Copy !req
225. because I thought Apocalypse
might find some use for you.
Copy !req
226. Who's Apocalypse?
Copy !req
227. Haven't the foggiest.
Copy !req
228. He's my master,
Copy !req
229. and he'll crush you
like an insect
Copy !req
230. if you interfere again!
Copy !req
231. So your machine
doesn't cure mutants.
Copy !req
232. It turns them
into slaves of Apocalypse.
Copy !req
233. You mean you just made up
this guy Adler?
Copy !req
234. He was real enough
until he met Apocalypse.
Copy !req
235. Personally, I find this
frightfully confusing.
Copy !req
236. Y'all get away from him,
Copy !req
237. It gets worse.
Copy !req
238. or you'll need
a doctor sure enough.
Copy !req
239. I never could say
no to a woman.
Copy !req
240. Back off, firefly.
I need that guy.
Copy !req
241. Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
242. Dr. Adler, I presume.
Copy !req
243. What the devil
could have happened here?
Copy !req
244. It appears that Dr. Adler
has been kidnapped.
Copy !req
245. Professor Xavier.
Copy !req
246. Cyclops, Jean,
what are you doing here?
Copy !req
247. Rogue's disappeared, Professor.
Copy !req
248. I believe she has come here
to see Dr. Adler
Copy !req
249. to undergo his treatment.
Copy !req
250. If she has, she may be in danger
Copy !req
251. of losing more
than her mutant powers.
Copy !req
252. Listen, old girl,
must we do this?
Copy !req
253. I think we're all making
a terrible mistake!
Copy !req
254. Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
255. Who are you?
Copy !req
256. The name's Cable.
Last known address, Genosha.
Copy !req
257. They used to turn mutants
into slaves down there.
Copy !req
258. I have never heard of it.
Copy !req
259. They did it with collars
that suppressed mutant powers.
Copy !req
260. Collars you made.
Copy !req
261. That makes you
a dangerous man.
Copy !req
262. Too dangerous to live.
Copy !req
263. Get away
from that man!
Copy !req
264. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
265. Making the world
safer for mutants.
Copy !req
266. Plasma grenade.
Copy !req
267. You are making
a terrible mistake.
Copy !req
268. Dr. Adler is already dead.
Copy !req
269. That's kind of hard to believe,
coming from you.
Copy !req
270. Do you believe me now?
Copy !req
271. There's Adler.
Copy !req
272. Drop the weapon.
Copy !req
273. No.
Copy !req
274. Look out, y'all!
Copy !req
275. - No!
Jean!
Copy !req
276. You all right, hon?
Copy !req
277. Just bruised, thanks to you.
What about him?
Copy !req
278. Whoever he was, it's too late
to help him now.
Copy !req
279. A most extraordinary
young woman.
Copy !req
280. Thank you, Rogue.
Copy !req
281. You don't know how much
this means to me.
Copy !req
282. But I thought you
wanted to be cured.
Copy !req
283. That's what I thought, too, Doc.
Copy !req
284. But there ain't
no cure for who you are.
Copy !req
285. Then you must live forever
Copy !req
286. in the prison
of your mutant powers.
Copy !req
287. I am my powers,
and the good they can do
Copy !req
288. for my friends
and for the whole world.
Copy !req
289. I reckon maybe
I can live with that after all.
Copy !req
290. Thanks anyway, Doc.
Copy !req
291. - Look out!
- Look out yourself!
Copy !req
292. How do you fly without wings?
Copy !req
293. I don't know. I just do.
Copy !req
294. You're lucky.
Copy !req
295. Yeah. Lucky.
Copy !req
296. I came here to warn you, Doctor.
But it looks like I'm too late.
Copy !req
297. Why did you not tell me
you are a mutant?
Copy !req
298. Why do you think I've supported
your research?
Copy !req
299. You wish to be changed?
Copy !req
300. Is the treatment ready?
Copy !req
301. Apocalypse.
Copy !req
302. Apocalypse!
Copy !req
303. I've found another mutant
to become your slave.
Copy !req
304. The millionaire,
Warren Worthington,
Copy !req
305. with the wings of an angel.
Copy !req
306. How did you know
he was a mutant?
Copy !req
307. I know more of this world
than you have even dreamed.
Copy !req
308. That is why I must destroy it.
Copy !req
