Synopsis for "Legion"

On Muir Island, David Haller's powers go berserk. Professor X and some of the New Mutants come to investigate. Sharon and Tom are mentally not there after having watched David. Professor X is repelled when he tries to find out what's going on in David's mind.

Meanwhile in Massachusetts, after Emma Frost dressed down Empath^[1], he retaliates by manipulating her emotions, and finds it easier than he thought he would.

Elsewhere, in the Bermuda Triangle, Lee Forrester gets some indication of Magneto's tormented psyche.

Back on Muir Island, Professor X and Gabrielle Haller have a long overdue chat, as Moira's and Rahne's psyches get sucked into David Haller's mind.
