Synopsis for "Planet X (Part 4): Phoenix in Darkness"

• Synopsis not yet written

Notes

• Last appearance of Basilisk, who was 'accidentally' killed by Magneto.

Trivia

• When Esme says that humans can not feel pain, Beak claims that even a carrot can, but that may be the wrong fruit to pick. He trails off as Magneto attacks him screaming 'Vegetable!' So we learn that carrots are indeed vegetables, not fruit.
