Wolverine and The X-Men - Excessive Force

Logo for Wolverine and The X-Men - Excessive Force

When an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, the beaten heroes walk away from it all. The most legendary of the X-Men, Wolverine, reunites them to prevent the world's destruction. Scott is determined to find Jean Grey and thinks Sinister is behind it. He bags one of his henchmen, hoping to strongarm him into revealing where she is. Emma scans the henchman's mind and breaks it to Scott that he doesn't know. But Scott is not buying it. He is sure the crazy scientist has Jean and is still bent on creating his genetically engineered Ultimate Mutant. Scott follows another of Sinister's bullies back to his lab. A messy battle ensues, destroying the lab, and sprawls out into the street, where Cyclops tails Arclight in a harrowing motorcycle chase. Finally, Arclight admits to Scott that Sinister has Jean. He speeds off to confront Sinister. Just moments later, the rest of the X-Men arrive on the scene. Emma reads Arclights's mind, realising that Scott is headed right into a trap. Sure enough, Sinister doesn't have Jean, but he does have Madrox the Multiple Man. Madrox's clones pummel Scott and just as he is overcome, the X-Men arrive to help him out. It's a close call but they bring an exhausted Scott back to the mansion. He decides to be a better teammate and put the search for Jean to rest. Somewhere else, in an undisclosed hospital, Jean Grey is awaking from a long sleep. But she has no idea who she is.
