''Written by: (writer unknown)''

Continuing from ''Mutant Agenda'', Wolverine and Spidey are about to do battle before they are attacked by the Hobgoblin and Landon's security system. Once Wolverine realizes that Spidey is innocent of Beast's disappearance, the two infiltrate Landon's lab to find Hank.

Meanwhile, Beast is the test subject for Landon's project, which is not to cure mutations, but destroy mutants outright. Unknown to Landon, a spy for the Kingpin is relying the information to Fisk, who is hoping Landon is creating an army of mutants for his world conquest, but once the spy reveals the truth about Landon's plans, Fisk orders him to destroy all evidence of their presence and pull out. Meanwhile, Hobgoblin decides to have some fun, and downloads all of Landon's work onto a CD-ROM before deleting the original data from the computer mainframe, leaving the CD with the only copy left.

Wolverine and Spidey attack Landon's lab and attempt to save Beast, and they succeed when Landon is distracted saving his research from the Hobgoblin, only to end up falling into the tank that he was going to dip Beast into when he tries to catch the CD after Hobgoblin dropped it. Hobgoblin takes his leave when Landon's assistant opens fire on him, and as Spidey, Wolverine, and Beast regroup with her, they watch as Landon struggles out of the tank, before the effects of the chemicals begin to take their effect on him. Having not considered what the stuff would do to an ordinary human being, Landon ironically becomes the one thing he hated the most: A mutant. However, it seems his mutation is unstable, and in a bid to ease the pain he's suffering from, Landon begins absorbing electricity from whatever he can get it from to try and stabilize his condition. Taking his assistant hostage, he makes his way into NYC.

The rest of the X-Men soon arrive in the Blackbird to help, and once Spidey explains what they need to do, they get right to work. While Gambit, Storm, and Jubilee keep Landon in one spot, Rogue wraps a cable around him that is attached to the Blackbird, which then lifts Landon away from any electrical sources and attempts to siphon the electricity out of him and into the sky, but Landon's size soon causes the Blackbird to be unable to remain airborne and begin to fall out of the sky. Landon's assistant intervenes, using her mutant powers to stabilize the Blackbird and lower it safely to the ground. As for Landon, he shrinks back to human size, but is permanently changed to being half-human and half-mutant before being taken away for medical treatment. The X-Men offer to take Landon's assistant to see Professor X to help her with her mutant powers, while having found some valuable allies in the X-Men, Spidey is soon directed to see Dr. Mariah Crawford regarding finding a cure for his mutation.
