Comic Summary: In Annadale-on-Hudson, two children have a strange encounter with two girls and sink into a catatonic state. Cerebro alerts Kitty’s X-Men team to the event. Strangely, Prestige seems to pick up the occurrences and starts bleeding from the nose. Kitty and Beast call all the X-Men they can find and explain that Cerebro started picking up strange events. Kitty chooses three teams to examine the three other spots where this occurred. Team one, led by Kitty, visits the abandoned former Hellfire Club headquarters in Manhattan. They are attacked by an impossible number of Hellflre Club guards, who disappear the moment they leave the building. Team two – Rogue and most of the time-displaced original X-Men – visit Mont Francis in France, where they are attacked by the Acolyte Mellencamp. Rogue beats him and he disappears. She explains to the kids that Mellencamp is dead. Team Three – basically the Weapon X team – visit the Arctic where they face what seems to be the original Wolverine. He too disappears. All of them then see the phenomenon of a firebird in the sky. As does, elsewhere, a young redheaded waitress named Jean. She returns to work at her friend Annie’s diner and claims she has seen nothing. Later, she returns to her parents’ home to be surprised by her boyfriend Scott.

Comic Summary: Years ago in Hell's Kitchen, a group of children is seen bullying and harassing a young Matt Murdock, calling him "Dare-devil." A young Frank Castle steps in and stops the fighting, and helps Matt. Castle tells Matt that you have to fight to stop bullies, and leaves. In the modern day, a battle is breaking out at Central Park between the Avengers and the X-Men between a Kree/Skrull invasion. Frank is seen speeding towards the Park, telling his partner that his family went to the park. The Avengers are revealed to have been victorious against the invaders by a news reporter. Frank arrives and leaps out into the Park, where Daredevil is scolding the Avengers for going into Central Park and not evacuating. 3 months later, Frank is battling Captain America. Captain asks what happened to Frank, and tells Frank that he was a soldier like Cap, but is now a disgrace. Frank tells Cap that they haven't fought in the same war, and that he learned how to scope out a scene before fighting. He then pulls out a concealed revolver and shoots Cap in the head. Daredevil removes his mask, revealing himself as Matt. Matt's last words to Frank are: "There's always someone under the mask, Frank... but you killed us all..." and he dies. Frank looks up and says that he isn't done. He then points his gun to his chin, states "There's one more to go." and the comic ends.
