Futher Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix

London, England, 1859: Jean Grey-Summers just climbed out of the Thames and finds herself in the caring arms of Nathaniel Essex, who will sooner or later become the mad geneticist known as Mister Sinister. Jean tries her best to convince Nathaniel that he should refuse the offer made by Apocalypse and, instead, he should return to his pregnant wife, Rebecca. Then Jean is interrupted by Cootie Tremble, the leader of the Marauders who has now been physically augmented by Apocalypse, as he attacks a little thief named Oscar. Essex watches how Jean easily disposes Tremble and saves Oscar. To him it looks as if, even though a divergent species of mutants will develop, some of them will remain human and fight by their side.
