Synopsis for "Mine Is the Power!"

Hercules is attacked by Typhon, the cause of Olympus' desertion. Meanwhile, Quicksilver pretends to ally himself with Magneto, and they travel to the U.N. to demand that the mutants of the world be given a nation of their own. The Avengers attack, and the Scarlet Witch accidentally gets shot, driving Quicksilver into a frenzy and making him join with Magneto for real. They then leave. Meanwhile, back in Olympus, Hercules is beaten and sent to another world by Typhon.

Notes

• The saga of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch continues in X-Men #43. Quicksilver will fight the mutant Cyclops in X-Men #44. The X-Men, along with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, will encounter the Avengers in X-Men #45 and Avengers #53.
• The concept of a nation for mutants is a recurring idea throughout the X-Men canon, most recently in Jonathan Hickman's House of X / Powers of X.
