Synopsis

As Magneto plummets helplessly to Earth, Fabian Cortez assumes control of Asteroid M and sends hundreds of missiles towards Earth. Meanwhile, Rogue goes to help the X-Men and tries to find a missing Gambit. Magneto frees himself and returns in time to destroy both the missiles and Asteroid M. Everyone escapes before the asteroid is destroyed and they all return home (Gambit included!) Meanwhile, Cortez is rescued from the descending asteroid by Deathbird... and Apocalypse!

Notes

This episode is loosely based on X-Men (Vol. 2) #3.
The special space costumes worn by the X-Men in this episode (Wolverine's dark navy blue, Professor X's dark purple with silver circuitry neck-piece, Beast's yellow & orange space armor, and Rogue's green and black bodysuit) were released as part of the light-up armor run of the toy line.
