This isn't fair! I've done what no one else ever has -- I've beaten the X-Men! I have them completely in my power, at my mercy, my slightest whim their eager command! And I haven't a clue what to do next! Magneto -- he'd know, curse him! Probably has a billion revenge scenarios, each more delightfully cruel than the last. But he's never won. I have -- and I'm stuck!

-- Mesmero
