Synopsis for "Battle at the State Fair of Texas"

Magneto finds the mutant Daniel Wiley in Dallas, Texas working in a horse barn at the Texas State Fair. He gains the trust of the young mutant and Wiley reveals that he discovered that he has the power to transform into a centaur. Magneto secretly plans to have Wiley join his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Soon, the X-Men arrive at the fair to search for the mutant, and Xavier eventually detects him while they are at the Cotton Bowl. Magneto realizes that they've been discovered and so flees with Wiley with the X-Men in pursuit. The team corners Magneto and Wiley in a horse barn at the fair and explains that they only want to talk with the young mutant, but Magneto convinces Wiley that the X-Men have attacked them. During the ensuing battle, Magneto throws Colossus into a horse barn causing him to crash into the structure, endangering the safety of the horses inside. Seeing Magneto's reckless disregard for the horses, Wiley realizes that he has been duped him and turns against the villain, defeating him. After the battle, Xavier invites Wiley to join the X-Men, but he declines preferring to stay with his horses in Dallas.
