Synopsis:
A
terrorist organization named Factor Three appears. Their leader, Mutant Master sends two agents to capture
Xavier. Of the two, The Banshee was being controlled by a mental device, so he is
freed by the X-men and the other agent; Ogre, is captured. The Mimic leaves the
group after some differences with the other X-men. After facing a couple of
threats, Professor X who was keeping secretly captive in a locked room in the
mansion the menace called Juggernaut, intents to change his mind, failing in
the process and freeing him accidentally, occasioning another fight with the
X-men and leaving him comatose. With the aid of Dr. Strange, Cyclops and Marvel
Girl are sent into the Crimson Cosmos (a world created by Cyttorak to house the
prototype gemstone of the actual gem that granted Cain Marko his powers) to
find the prototype gem while the rest tried to stop Juggernaut. Back on earth,
the X-men use the prototype gem first on Xavier to remove whatever influence
had befallen him during the failed experiment, and also on the Juggernaut. When
the prototype ruby made physical contact the Juggernaut was pulled into the
Crimson Cosmos. Thanks to The Banshee the X-men finds Factor Three’s hideout.
It is later revealed this organization plans to cause a nuclear war between USA
and the Soviet Union, which would wipe out the human race. The organization
splits as soon it´s revealed Mutant Master’s real intentions of destroying both
mutants and humans, and that he's an alien with a human
disguise. His henchmen turn against him, and help the X-men rescuing Xavier and
The Banshee, later he commits suicide to avoid capture.
