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.
