When the man tries to reach out to the mutants for help, the Panther pulls him black and closes the X-Men in behind a door, so he can deal with the situation alone. Despite Storm’s warnings to trust T’Challa, Havok orders Rogue to burst open the door with her flame powers. She does, and the X-Men begin their battle against the Panther. During the battle, Rogue tries to help the attacked man out, and then he shows his true colors. He’s actually a mutant himself, and absorbs Rogue’s powers! He attacks the other X-Men succeeding in absorbing both Iceman’s and Wolverine’s powers. Havok manages to hit the man and makes him fly through the roof. Once everyone is calmed down, the Panther reveals that their enemy is called Erich Paine, a former resident of Genosha, who transformed people into becoming mutants. Paine also activated his own latent mimicking mutant powers, so he had powers on his own, which he can turn on and off by a single touch on his arm. Paine did this because he knew that, no matter where he was, the X-Men would some day come after him, so he took some precautions. T’Challa was in the lab to try build a containment suit for Paine, so he couldn’t harm the X-Men. Feeling stupid, the X-Men, minus Storm, initiate a search for him. Storm and T’Challa talk about the former romantic feelings they once shared, with Ororo refusing to let T’Challa break her heart a second time. She takes on T’Challa’s warnings that some people are being harassed by hunters, and Ororo leaves to protect them. Returning to her role as the Goddess of the Desert, a bare-naked Storm locates and helps a poor mother and her child. Meanwhile, the other X-Men get knocked out by powerful gas, and Paine strikes Wolverine down with the help of his absorbed adamantium claws. A few moments later, he contacts his boss and has imprisoned the X-Men in separate containment cells. Paine informs his boss that, after a final payment his job will be fulfilled, and he can also have the X-Men: as a set, single… or in parts! He opens Lorna’s cell, holding a chainsaw ready.
